I loved him coming out of school and now he has experience/catching splinters, but learning over there and adjusting to the NFL. I'm assuming this would be for a third or fourth. BOB knows what he's doing when it comes to QB's. Fantastic move, if we get this guy. And it doesn't mean we're taking Clowney. We're going to move down.

Umm..no. Fitzpatrick is training camp fodder. I put the odds of him not making the team higher than him taking any meaningful snaps this season.
2 years, $7.5 mil with 4 guaranteed and Fitzpatrick is training camp fodder? Okay. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>There is no deal between the Patriots and the Texans for Ryan Mallett.

Fitz will definitely be the main guy at the start of the season...for at least this upcoming year. We wouldnt give him 4 million guaranteed if it was just for training camp fun.
Fitz is a virtual lock to make the roster and is likely to start week 1, barring any preseason heroics from Keenum/Yates/rook. You are so off base it's not even funny.
This would say a lot about what they think about Keenum, Yates. You'd then have Fitzpatrick, Mallett, and perhaps still a draft pick QB.
