The question is why I should settle for this.
Fitz is a waste of time (not to say that he's terrible).
If I was OB, I would prep Keenum, with Savage in the Wing.

Could be a good thing how OB wants to challenge Keenum.
He would need to pass all the tests or ever remain a backup in the NFL.

Good post. Plenty of other teams wondered if Fitz could hold turnover numbers down, to no avail.

Our best hops, as fans, is for OB to pick the most qualified candidate for the job, yes? In your opinion, is that Fitz, Keenum or Savage?

You're fooling yourself if you think one of these turds is shinier than the other. The only difference to me, is that one has already matured & still stinks. The other might not stink after a little curing.

Texans-Broncos practice: Manning sends message; Clowney a force
Jason La Canfora
ENGELWOOD, Colo. --

...the Texans' defense more than held its own. Frankly, Houston's offense looked better than I expected, as the team with the NFL's first-overall draft pick (Jadeveon Clowney, who left practice early with what appeared to be a minor injury), at least in this practice, didn't seem outclassed by a Broncos team that is a favorite to win it all.

Manning spread the ball around effortlessly at times, but also had one ball knocked out of his hands, misfired a time or two, and was intercepted by safety D.J. Swearinger. The Texans seemed genuinely buoyed by their outing on both sides of the ball, while the Broncos probably needed to face a little adversity -- as minor as Tuesday's was -- given the relative ease with which they sailed through the first two preseason games.
...

The Broncos certainly brought a renewed intensity and focus into this practice -- you don't cross Peyton twice -- but the Texans seemed truly fired up for this opportunity to test themselves against greatness...

Texans coach Bill O'Brien seemed genuinely enthused with what he saw as well from both of his starting units, allowing there were two fields in play and 180 football players running around, making it impossible to see everything in realtime. Tape review is essential.

"The defense had some good moments [on Tuesday]," O'Brien said, "and it looked like that again today."

The Texans' defensive playmakers are impossible to miss, but once you get into the second and third units you quickly realize this team is still rebuilding.

"We've got to improve the depth of our defense," O'Brien said.

...If the Texans can stay relatively healthy on defense, they might be able to creep toward being competitive...

The Texans seem to be taking well to new coordinator Romeo Crennel's system, and have the makings of a very formidable front seven, with the secondary still a concern. I'll be interested to see how much Manning ends up playing against this group Saturday night, with another day of joint practices scheduled for Thursday, given the kind of problems they present up front. Gase said there isn't a set plan yet and they could take it "series by series."

More observations
• J.J. Watt has every right to make the case to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. With the season fast approaching, I wouldn't suspect he budges much on his contract stance. All the little things he does -- attacking a blocking sled from his knees well after practice ended, working closely with Clowney on leverage and swim moves between drills, powering through tackle Chris Clark in individual drills and keeping his cool as Clark knocked off his helmet and pushed Watt in the face...

• Clowney looks every bit the part of a dominant pass rusher. In individual drills he was kept to the outside by stud left tackle Ryan Clady early. But in team drills Clowney was able to get inside Clady a few times and the Broncos clearly knew they needed to know where the No. 1 pick was at all times. Gase certainly made sure the protections knew where he was, even though there was obviously no contact on QBs in these sessions ("He's such a freak in terms of his athletic ability," Gase said) – and Denver's offensive line was clearly tested during this two-hour practice.

"This is a different animal for us," Gase said. "J.J. Watt, Clowney, the rest of that crew. It was tough ... It's a great test for our guys to see where we're at, and where we can get better as a group."

• Broncos running back Montee Ball is...

• Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders is...

• Manning drew a few gasps when...

• Texans receiver Andre Johnson showed no signs of rust from his time away from the team this offseason. He was showing up all over the field, making one incredible catch in the back of the end zone, staying in bounds and holding on to the ball in a red zone drill. "He's a big part of what we're doing here,” O'Brien said. ... Rookie tight end Anthony Dunham made a fair share of nice plays as well. ... Starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had a good day, all in all, limiting the mistakes that have dogged him in recent years. Case Keenum continues to get snaps with the second team and rookie quarterback Tom Savage is working with the third unit.

Click to expand...
Why be in a rush - this is pre-season. Denver will be a good test, for both the first and second units. Let's see what Fitz does against a really good team. And Keenum.

OB said, I believe it was Monday, that Case would not be taking any snaps with the first team. I presume he meant this week. But when Case starts taking snaps with the first team is when we will know there might be a change.

Also having Keenum gain more experience without pressure of being the starter could be a plan. Savage is not ready to be an NFL backup. Still think OBrien can improve all three.

Winning games. With all of the excuses generated for Keenum, I am sure some of the same could have been said about the beard. And while I realize winning 35% of the games you have played is not thrilling, even I can recognize it is far better than winning 0% of games played.

Yes, that's exactly what I think. If he could direct us to no wins in 8 tries in a system he was familiar with but with injuries to key positions, what makes you think he can do any better with the injured players returning, but a new scheme that he seems to be having trouble picking up? I mean last game they were running the spread for him, and he still sucked with the exception of a few plays.

What makes you think he can run the actual offense with enough consistency to win more than a few games? Surely you do not expect the Texans to escape injury at key positions all season?

So Keenum is the whole reason that the Texans went 0-8?

OK

Or maybe the whole org stunk, from Smith to Kubiak to Asst coaches to the ST's (No Doubt) to offense (Including Keenum) to the Defense.

But no it's all Keenum's fault. BTW, How's Schaub doing this preseason? Your QB eval may be just a little skewed

Wait... Weren't you saying the buck stops with the QB? No excuses for Schaub when the line was playing horribly right? Ultimately the QB is responsible is what was said. Schaub and Kubiak are gone, and we see the same exact Case Keenum. When will the excuses stop?

Talk about weak sauce. Schaub's preseason is going better than Keenum's, and I will go out on a limb and bet that Schaub will start, and Keenum won't. :fingergun:

Yes Schaub will be starting to begin the season, the question is how long before his foot starts giving him problems and he is replaced by Carr? O/U 8 games. No Keenum wont start a game this yr and will do well to make the final 53. Fitz is the present and if things go bad BOB will want to eval Savage to see if they need to draft a QB in next yrs draft. You know kinda like McNair wanted and Kubiak refused to do with Keenum last yr and what eventually got Kubiak fired.

I will never understand this logic..

Keenum wasn't Brady, Manning, or Brees last year but quit lumping
every single loss on the kid.

Case did not miss two field goals or give up a one play touchdown
drive against Indy.

He also did not fumble a pass reception against Oakland, or give
up senseless drive-extending defensive penalties against Jax, or
break Ben Tates ribs or destroy Foster back, or stroke out
Kubiak, or name Wade interim head coach, etc. etc.

If the "team" could have played with a shred of concern (aside from JJ)
they would have most likely not gone 2-14. There were so many reasons
why this team tanked last year, and injuries and sloppy play are just
part of it.

The people who lump this all on Case -- a player who was taking reps
as a DB a week before the KC game -- are just simply asinine.

The guy isn't going to be Elway or Marino, etc. But 0-8 only on him,
and no one else, just goes to show how some people get tunnel vision
when they want to lay angry blame..

There's a reason this team will be lucky to win 6 games this year, and it ain't
on the performance of Schaub or Yates or Keenum from 2013

48 Observations: Texans-Broncos, Day 2
John Harris
Well, that was interesting. The second day of Texans-Broncos practices nearly concluded with team-on-team fisticuffs on the opposite end of the field.

As I noted yesterday, it was percolating since the end of Monday's practice when Aqib Talib and DeAndre Hopkins squared off in the last team drill of the day. I'll get to what happened later in the piece, but there was much to see throughout the second day in full pads. 48 observations worth of sights and sounds...

Let's be real for a minute here bro. Schaub had just taken the Texans to back to back division championships and their first two runs at the playoffs. He had also led them to their best record in franchise history just the previous season, so yeah, I think he deserved the benefit of the doubt. Keenum on the other hand did none of that, and instead went 0-8 when his number was called. From what I can see, Keenum does not have the potential to even come close to the career Schaub has had in the NFL.

I will agree with you that when the time comes, whether due to injury, or just piss poor play, they will go to Savage not Keenum.

Ordinarily I would agree with you. But what I learned right here on this board is that those are just excuses, and the buck stops with the QB. All I heard was "Just give Keenum a chance and he will light it up" which gave way to "Keenum did not get a fair shot", which is now back to "Just give Keenum a shot with the 1's and he will light it up".

Keenum was not responsible for all the things you describe, but he also did not do anything else to help. He did not lift the team on his back and win regardless of the circumstances. Had he no ability to finish games. The team went into the half with decent leads on many occasions, yet Keenum fell into a deep dark hole in the 2nd half of games and did nothing to help extend the lead. Over and over. Same game in and game out. But instead of accountability, all I hear is excuses from the Keenum camp when these same people placed the entire blame on Schaub every time he lost regardless of the way the rest of the team played.

I am not angry. I am indifferent if anything right now. I am just sick of all of the excuses. Just more 2nd guessing of the men who watch these guys play every day who are saying Keenum is not as good as Fitz, and just barely ahead of the rookie Savage. Why was Kubiak getting it wrong, and now O'Brien is getting it wrong, but you are right?

I get that he is the hometown boy, but the people that run the show say he is not the guy, and that is good enough for me as well as what I have seen with my own eyes. I am tired of all this endless debating about Keenum vs. Fitz. Let's get the season started and see how is plays out.
 
Can y'all please take the Keenum/Schaub discussion to one of the Case threads? People are tunning in to this thread for camp updates and it's becoming annoying having to scan past all those arguments. :)

General manager Rick Smith discusses the recent difficult period in Texans history

All-world quarterback Peyton Manning has again been intercepted. The Texans' defense is jawing. First-year coach Bill O'Brien's revamped offense has been precise and smooth. A reconfigured team has proudly held its ground on the home turf of the 2013 AFC champion Denver Broncos, with a heated practice reminding Texans who went 12-4 in 2012 --then lived through an unlivable 2-14 last season -- what it's like to actually play real, competitive football in the NFL.
Click to expand...

The silver-trophy dream long shared by McNair and Smith remains the same. But Year Nine of the Smith-era and Stage Three of the Texans is a new world for a proud, private GM who has just two playoff victories to show for everything he's constructed in Houston.

"Listen: I try to manage my mistakes with ease and grace, OK?" Smith says. "Because I don't have an overinflated opinion about my abilities in the first place. So I'm pretty good about that.

"We're all going to make mistakes. What do you do after you've done that? Can you look at a situation and learn from it? And then, moving forward, can you really implement what you learn? And that's growth. That's evolution and that's maturation. That's all those things that we're all trying to do in our lives."

* * *
Click to expand...

O'Brien won't discuss 2013 because he had nothing to do with it. Before his time. Out of his hands.

Smith will but only briefly.

Prior to the breaking point in the worst overall season in franchise history, the GM agreed to a state-of-the-union interview with a reporter. A couple questions were asked. Smith responded with heartfelt, unfiltered responses. Then he suddenly stopped the session. The Texans were still fighting. Smith wasn't ready to conduct a postmortem on a dying body he thought he could still revive.

Eight months after Kubiak was fired and McNair cleaned house for the second time, Smith reflected on the season he survived.

"That was absolutely one of the toughest things," Smith said. "It wasn't just Gary. It was Gary and 18 or 19 other coaches, some of which I had been with as long as I had been with Gary. So it was the families that were associated and involved and the friendships and all those things. … That's a very difficult and tough part of the business."
Click to expand...

"I mean, it was tough," Smith said. "I don't spend a lot of time dwelling on it. But I will say this: You have to sit down and analyze it and that was not a fun time for me.

"But it was a necessary thing. And then you have to be very honest when you do that and … there's all these things that you have to guard against
Click to expand...

Kubiak's removal further isolated Smith.

For years, long-frustrated fans blamed Kubiak for the team's on-field inconsistency and lack of finishing power. Midway through 2013, Smith began to join his longtime professional partner as an easy punching bag for talk radio, message boards and Twitter streams.

Does Smith drive to and leave NRG Stadium flipping spinning the dial, searching for the newest nasty take on his professional life?

No.

Does he listen to the noise more than some would think?

Yes.

"Here's what I do: I will tell you that from time to time, I need to know the pulse of what's going on," Smith said. "And so I don't make it a habit to listen to sports radio, for example. But I do try to read the articles that are out. I try to be aware of what the perception of our football team is. Not that it influences anything that I do, but just so that I'm aware of it."
