    Apparently Sean Jones did.

    But I guess depending on your definition of nobody you may still be correct.

    They've also seen Savage for over a year (granted he was hurt last year). If they felt strongly about him starting they wouldnt have signed Osweiler

    Unfortunately they do not share your chain of thought. Brock was brought here to start. So why are you even entertaining that notion.

    Lol Sean has been against the signing from day one. But all the actual writers are not saying Savage is looking better than Brock.

    I know, I was agreeing with you.

    I have heard that Savage looks a lot better from several people, but nobody has been saying he looked like he should be the starter.

    Honestly though, there hasn't been glowing praise about Osweiler from camp, outside of his leadership ability.

    I'm kinda surprised it took until 8 am the morning after for the thread to show up. Thought for sure it'd happen in the 2nd half of the game last night.

    SMH, fans who declare a receiver a bust because he has "small hands"

    LOL, that's quite a leap, I don't think anyone declared him a bust before he even started playing.....that's something only people like you would do. Expressing concerns at the draft isn't the same as declaring someone a bust.

    At some point I do hope that I'll see an intelligent, non-half ass trolling attempt post by you in this forum. I'm not sure you're capable, but it would be a nice change of pace.

    SMH at people who blame a mean coach for a QB oversleeping

    He said the Texans spent too much money on Brock to give Savage a real shot at competing for the spot.

    If it meant wins, who tf cares? We would've found a franchise quarterback.

    Osweiler hasn't proven he's a franchise qb.

    Man, I miss October 28, 2012.

    True, he hasn't. However, he certainly deserves the chance to show that he is (as does Savage).

    Osweiler has proven that he can be a successful QB in the NFL, Savage has one good game against backups in a preseason game......maybe we shouldn't be jumping to conclusions? Maybe?

    Right, QB controversies are virtually unknown in football outside of Houston
