I agree. I listen because he talks Rockets, but my goodness, the sky is in constant free fall with this guy.
BoB did say some stupid ish about the City of Houston needs to respect Mallett and Hoyer. The proof is in the pudding. Go out and win and we will respect them.
This sucks, the notion that running backs are a dime-a-dozen usually only applies when you have a good quarterback since it is a passing league now; but guess what, we don't have a QB either. I hope Mallett can be good, but acting like Foster being out won't matter is straight up denial. He's a game changer for the Texans. They relied so much on him. It also sucks because at this point, Foster is probably going to be hurt every season. Hope one of the new guys can show up, and step up.
So what's the point of complaining when we don't have a good QB (in your opinion) anyway? A team without a good QB isn't gonna do anything come playoff time even if that team somehow got there (without a good QB).
Good thing basketball season starts midway through football. Maybe the Astros will still be playing in October.
Which might be a good or bad thing, and we have a more complete WR corps, better defense at all levels but especially in the secondary, and better TE's (due to progression) Also most of those games without Foster were with Kubiak instead of BOB.
Only surprised it's not his hammy.

Who's complaining, I'm lamenting the fact that a big part of our offense is going to be out for a considerable amount of time, and we don't have a concrete answer at QB to pick up the slack. Mallett could turn out to be that guy, but he could also not be. I hope he is. Playoffs!? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win some games.

Cutting Foster next offseason will save $7MM. Think that is a foregone conclusion, just wish we would have addressed this somewhat early in the draft.

You expect something better to be available one week into camp? Any of these guys can be a camp body at least and you can see if the internal options are good enough. If not, then they'll target a team with excess running backs in trade. Given all the defensive back depth now on the roster, there could be a trade fit with many teams.
Ha, nope. If they were good or worth their while, they [probably] wouldn't be available. Big on names, short on talent.
