If we dont have a solid scoring drive by halftime, Hoyer must come in for the second half. This is basically the season right here. If we lose to the Colts, we're 1-4, giving the Colts a 3-0 division record and basically wrapping up the division for them. If we win here, it gives us an edge in the division and hopefully gets these guys going. We cant leave Mallett in there if he continues to struggle...it's gotta be a short leash.
I sort of disagree, I think Mallett has a fairly long leash because there's nothing better on the roster. Also, if the Texans lose to the Colts on Thursday, the season is effectively over, so what difference does it make? Might as well keep rolling with Mallett anyway.
What Hoyer has done in his career, as little as it may be, craps on anything Mallett has accomplished. And it's really not even close. Mallett hasnt given a glimmer of hope this season...at least Hoyer can make an accurate throw to a guy 10 yards away. Mallett has repeatedly failed at this task.
I think you greatly overrate what Hoyer has done in his career and underrate Mallett's performance. Anyway, it doesn't really matter, Mallett is the guy.
Im underrating what Mallett has done? lol. He's done more harm than good...that's his career. Hoyer has been a below average NFL starter...probably bottom 5 in the league. That's still better than Mallett.
Play Mallett. His contract allows the team to get rid of him easily next year. If he improves and does very well, you've got your QB. If he doesn't, you've improved your draft position and can find your QB there.
And you further hammering home my point with that continued flawed analysis. You actually have it exactly backwards.
Who has the higher career completion percentage...higher career YPA...higher career TD:INT ratio...higher career QB rating? If one QB wins in every single category here, then there is no argument until proven otherwise.
If you did a film breakdown on the two QB's, you'd have a different opinion....or rather, you should. Anyway, you can feel free to hold whatever opinion you wish, it doesn't change anything.
No point in changing QBs during a short week, but assuming Mallett continues on his current track, I'm pretty sure Hoyer will be the starter in Week 5. Guru of New Information will twist into a pretzel to explain why "only the people that matter" now disagree with him, etc.
