I think Osweiler looked like a good QB prospect with Denver. Osweiler looked a step behind in Houston. Bringing him to Houston based on what we saw in Denver was not a bad decision.
The cost... not a shining example of intelligence. But it's not my money & they built themselves an out.
So I'm not blaming Rick, O'b, or McNair for bringing in a guy with 61% completion percentage, 7.2 ypa, 10 TDs & 6 INTs in his first 7 starts against some of the best teams in the league.
I blame the man who had him looking like the worst QB in the league with the stats to match.
I'm betting Watson will start from day 1. It would be foolish for the Texans to wait until they had a potential pro bowler at every position on the OL. We've already got potential pro bowl players at the skill positions & dang near every position on the defense.
We're lucky enough to have a window at all. Be a shame to use use a single season on an option no one believes is an option.
I would love to know what Kubiak thinks of Os.
Comparing Denver Os to Houston Os is like comparing apples and oranges. 2 totally different offenses. Glad to see your on board with creating another Carr situation and no you don't need a pro bowler at every OL position. But you do need a RT/RG that's a heck of a lot better than Clark/Allen. This doesn't even factor in that Watson isn't even close to being ready. Not every rookie QB is Dak Prescott.
