I do not think his hands are tied remember are last coach keep the starter so long the owner told him to play the 2nd string QB or he was in trouble. BOB wants to go with the guy that has the big ridiculous contract even if we lose 4 or 5 in a row.
O'Brien might be gun shy about going to Savage because of Brock's contract and because of the Mallet fiasco last year
Rockets' biggest successes have an asterisk anyway. Brock's "good" offensive stand is not getting a teammate injured trying to catch his bad passes.
When Hard Knocks favorite/scrub Charles James has to see the field..it is a loss (even as bad as JJ has looked)
