Fitzpatrick to the bench. Makes sense to make announcement now with team on a bye this week.

#4mallet is not good, his arm is strong but he is going to have a rough time.
In NE he'd come out of games in pre season for stubbing his toe or some shit..while battling Jimmy G for the back up job..he either is a huge puzzy or didnt careComment -

#5Either way, I'm fading Houston for the rest of the year. Nothing has changed about them since last year with the exception a couple of more wins.
Andre Johnson is fed up. Foster is soft. Watt seems to be the only person giving 110%.
Texans are on my sheet as an autofade.Comment -

#6i honestly look forward to this. i know he has looked like shit in the minutes he has had in preseason but he was a beast at arkansas. he's always been a loose cannon type but given time he might be able to develop into a good pro. and this is coming from a guy who wants the texans to continue failing.Comment -

#9Not much choice for Texans. Fitzpatrick is not the answer, that is obvious.
They needs to see what they have with Mallet before the draft.Comment -

#10Love the mustache on Fitzpatrick though. To be honest, any team leader that plays pro sports in Texas should be required to have a Texas style mustache.Comment -

#14exactly. no one ever was fooled by the fitzpatrick charade. he was brought in to be their backup, but because he's a vet, they started him so maybe they wouldn't get off to a horrific start. but he was never going to be anyone's starter, he's terrible. this is not news to anyone.Comment -

#17Pick Mallet up. Seems like lots of guys who don't have the elite QBs are needing one of these QBs to pop and put up big numbersComment -

#18I like it because I have AJ in 2 fantasy leagues
I don't think it will change the result of the Texans season though, but it will provide clarity that they do not have their answer to QB currently on their roster.Comment -

#19as usual, "blame the quarterback", not the coaching, not the play calling,
not the defense and not the offensive line.
i've seen Mallet play. Fitzpatrick is a superior quarterback.Comment -

#21Really you think so? One dude is Ivy League from a talent standpoint so so and one is all world coming out of high school sec battle tested...mallet is Drew Bledsoe 2.0 he's a statue back there but he can make ALL the throws fitz should never be your long term starting Qb he's a stop gap quality backup Qb. Qbs without mobility are a dying breed and for good reason ...so we'll see how mallet will do but from an ability and talent standpoint it's not really close.Comment -

Houston is a possible 6 win team. No shot at playoffs and Mallett is unproven in NFL and has one of the worst work ethic and football iq for a Qb. Aside from Watt their D is below average. All other decent players aside from Mercilus are injured/beat up.Comment -

Houston D is average? Watt, Mercelus, Clowney, Jonathon Joseph, Swearinger, Cushing, Kareem Jackson I would say Houston D is far from average. Their offense has easily one of the best wr duos in the nfl. Easily. And a top 5 rb. Houston may sneak into playoffs.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment
