There is no way you can say Savage is better now but Brock is better long term. Both are young, one is better and cheaper. No reason Tom can't get his fair shake now
Fair enough. But they paid Brock franchise money with Tom on the roster.

That's ob's mo and what i expect out of him. If oz trots out there to start next week im f#$&ing done with this team. I literally stood up and applauded alone in my house at the tv when savage came in. If ob didn't feel the surge from the fans and more importantly the team he has no buisness being a hc.

After next season (year two of Brock Osweiler's Texans contract) there is a very cap friendly $6 million dead money cap hit. The Texans can easily digest that if they elect to release him after the 2017 season. So the Texans are actually in a good spot if they chose to end the Osweiler tenure only two years into the big contract. It's not a contract they can't get out of. Like Brian Cushing's contract, for example.People keep talking about paying Brock millions... If Savage does well and we make a decent playoff run the merchandise sold, ticket prices, ect should help make that up. As far as the salary cap we have to cut him and make it work and take a loss
Could you please change your avatar to Rick Smith?C'mon... I just changed my avatar!!
Looks like this game got Gus Bradley fired. Ouch.
Dont like that uniform at all.
All hail the new Battle Red look!!!

The Texans could go 0-16 and they would still be among the most profitable teams in the NFL. The money isn't the pressing issue like you are suggesting. They are usually the fourth richest NFL franchise, year in and year out, right behind the Cowboys, Redskins and Patriots.People keep talking about paying Brock millions...

All I've wanted since preseason was competent QB play and we got it today. Do I think Savage is the long term answer? Probably not. But it was nice seeing our QB throw for more than 100 yards in a game and throwing past the sticks.
No need to cut him next year. Just a high priced back up. And we still need to see Savage survive a seasonPeople keep talking about paying Brock millions...

I thought Nick Novak was mighty valuable too.Quarterback grade:Brock Osweiler, 42.4; Tom Savage, 73.6
Savage makes most of Osweiler benching
Sometimes you earn yourself a bit of luck. Where Osweiler was picked when throwing straight to a defender, Savage saw his errant throw dropped by Malik Jackson. But given the injection of life he provided the offense, you can forgive him that. The reason he’ll get the game ball is because, without Savage, the Texans don’t win this game. Whether it was stretching the field with a deep completion on his first drive, or just getting Hopkins more involved, he made plays that you just didn’t see Osweiler making. If anything shows the composure level of the twoquarterbacks, it was against the pass-rush. Over the four times that Osweiler was pressured, he recorded a 0.0 QB rating. For Savage, that number was 101.7.
Tom Savage versus pressure in Week 15
Top offensive grades:
LT Duane Brown, 84.4
WR DeAndre Hopkins, 77.5
FB Jay Prosch, 75.3
QB Tom Savage, 73.6
RG Oday Aboushi, 73.0
Offensive does enough to win, but doesn’t provide long-term confidence
Outside of the excellent Duane Brown shutting down one side of the Jaguars’ pass-rush, this wasn’t a unit that did a lot to make you think they’ll cause problems in the postseason. The introduction of Savage certainly drew the best out of Hopkins, but the line did not do enough to takeadvantage of Lamar Miller, and the reality is that without the Jaguars being so inept on offense to keep giving the Texans the ball back, they would not have been in position to win against a tired defense.
I hope they listen and start Savage next week.
Offensive tackle and a two time Super Bowl champion with the New York Giants. He retired after the 2011 season.Who the heck is Kareem McKenzie?
The unis are ok but I wish they'd use white helmets.Dont like that uniform at all.
Prefer the all blue.
But if my new best friend Savage likes that uniform then I guess I'll have to learn to love it
You ain't kidding about that. It think it was the loudest cheer I've heard all season, and definitely the most energy in that building in a long time.At least this gets the crowd in the game.

They have to use the same helmets all season. The logos could change, but the helmet would have to remain the same.The unis are ok but I wish they'd use white helmets.
Can't change the helmets. Has to be the constant.The unis are ok but I wish they'd use white helmets.
Probably his meth dealer.
Johnny Football leaving NRG today.
Whenever one of yall have some freetime, please explain to me wearing a jersey of a team not playing in that game. I can understand a game in Europe or something like that, but Johnny Freaking Football, come on.
Makes no sense

I don't think that we can make the excuse that our Texans took advantage of a tired Jags defense because from the onset TS looked better against a plenty rested Jags defense. Outside of a blown TD opportunity in the deep redzone our offense did quite well against a more than formidable defense. I will say the running game when used late did improve against an obviously tired Jags defensive line.Quarterback grade:Brock Osweiler, 42.4; Tom Savage, 73.6

I wonder what McNair is thinking right now.
None of that really matters to me but I was kind of curious why they didn't go with red end zones. Especially considering the Texans don't seem to see the blue ones too well.Dont like that uniform at all.

I just saw this by Bob Slovak == "I'm guessing it'll be Savage -- only because Osweiler is awful at playing quarterback. For what it's worth, Osweiler did at least pick up a #QBWin on Sunday, improving his career record to 13-8." == Does anyone know how a #QBWin is figured?
That's dumb considering we were getting stomped when he got benched.
