    first

    sigh...why this has to happen. Fans suck in every sport, I guess

    Let me guess, despite my complete lack of knowledge of the NFL

    1. Coach never develps young players
    2. counter: you can't throw a QB onto the field too early, or he gets happy feet
    3. let the vet play
    4. let's tank

    I think whoever is consistently better than the other two should be our main QB this season.

    I know, it'll never catch on.

    Keenum will most likely be cut so this means that savage will get more time for him to grown

    To continue this list for whatever reason

    2. counter: you can't throw a QB onto the field too early, or he gets happy feet

    4. let's tank

    6. Fitzpatrick has been the better QB this preseason

    Even the biggest Savage supporters should not be pushing for him to start this early.

    Glad to see some hope in Savage but yea we should just stick to the plan and let him develop behind Fitz ... I've been rooting for Case but I just don't see him as our guy anymore . He looks good at times but just inevitably makes boneheaded throws trying to force passes , also missing wide open guys on many of these plays where he forces

    Fitz and Keenum look about the same. They both kinda suck. Savage isn't ready yet but pretty epic night for him.

    I'm going to hafta pull out your number 6. sorry


    6 Fitzpatrick has been the better QB this preseason
    see number 3...y'all think a Rockets STH can't decipher this

    Please attempt to produce something new to the first five, so us people who don't follow the NFL can understand you vs other sports.

    As an aside...I like the way all y'all Texans like me think you know basketball just because you know football leaps and bounds more than me.

    You don't

    I think OB1 has been managing his growth pretty well.

    I'd say reward him with more PT for good play. If he messes up, sit him and let him learn some more.

    I'd say midpoint of the season, he'd be ready to start.

    We need a vet back-up for Fitz though who seems to play inconsistent even within a half.

    Savage and the rest of the 3rd team offense torched the broncos 3rd team defense. Savage sliced up the defense and Labhart looked like a legit starting nfl slot wide receiver. But Let's see what Savage and some of these other young guys can do against a 2nd and 1st team defense before we get too excited about them.

    Fitz is the worst looking QB on the roster by a considerable margin, but he's the vet so he'll stick around. Personally I'd prefer seeing Keenum or Savage because at least when they are out there I think that there is a chance the Texans will move the ball in the air as well as the ground.
