Backup quarterback...

I don’t see the Texans drafting their QB2. I think that they will sign a FA QB and maybe draft their QB3.

 

I wouldn't mind them drafting that guy from Richmond(Lauletta) or Mike White. Late in the draft though. One of the 6th roundrrs.

 

Tyrod Taylor or Kaepernick please

 

Lol cmon

 

Taylor is not coming here to backup. He is a starter in this league. Forget about Kaep.

 

It seems like there are too many average QBs and not enough teams to start them. There is no excuse to not get w competent backup now. I like Bridgewater. Would even take Hoyer or Fitzpatrick back based on their success as Texans but only as a last resort.

 

No more statues like Ryan Mallett, Brock Osweiler, Tom Savage...

 

Where is he a starter? I want someone that can actually run the offense if Deshaun is out. Not someone that we have to just pencil in Ls for and not run any of the same plays.

I forgot about Fitzpatrick. I wouldn't mind that. He can win a game or 2 if he has to and is mobile enough to run the offense.

 

I don't think they'll waste a draft pick or much money in whoever is the backup so I think we'd be looking at a fairly cheap vet QB or we'll just keep Savage for cheap. Fitz could be a possibility if he came cheap.

I know the Bridgewater fans might still be holding out hope that he'll end up here for whatever reason but he's not any good at football AND he'd probably be a 3rd string guy here behind Watson and a random vet not even on the team yet so I think he'd look for a spot where he could compete for a backup job.

 

He believes he is a starter. And has shown that he can be a decent one in the league. He is going to want to start. Or at least the opportunity to compete as a starter. I don't think Houston offers that. He can get that at Denver, NYJ, Jacksonville, Minneapolis, Arizona, New Orleans. Even if these teams draft a QB, Taylor could start if the rookie isn't quite ready in year one.

 

Like JR said no more statues please. How healthy is RG3?

 

Yeah. Lets not waste a pick on a quarterback. We already give. Our first round away.

free agent for a backup is the only way to go until next next year.

 

People in Hell want Icewater.....doesn't mean they get it. Just because YOU want Taylor, doesn't mean he WANTS to be a backup. He is still the starter in Buffalo. The Texans will sign a backup that is conventional and draft a Watson "clone" to groom.

 

You realize the Bills made the playoffs this year? And Taylor has 51 touchdowns to 16 interceptions as a starter over the last three years. Oh yeah, I forgot he would also be a near perfect fit picking up our offense as a mobile QB.

Tyrod Taylor as our backup is more of a pipe-dream than something to scoff at.

 

BUF, MIA, NYJ, CIN, CLE, JAX, DEN, ARI.

So you think Fitzy would be a more suitable backup to Watson than Tyrod, lol?

 

Of the realistic options I think Tyrod would be a solid backup but if they don’t want to invest a lot of money in the back up maybe someone like Fitz could be had at a decent price.

Drafting a guy would be nice but with the picks we have this year and the holes at DB and on the o line I doubt we draft a guy before round 6-7 and by then those guys aren’t going to be ready to come in and produce anyway.
