    Houston fans always blame the owners for bad signings, without any evidence. It's pure trailer-parkdom..

    I don't blame the owner for the signings, but I blame him for taking a back seat to the franchise at the absolute wrong times and taking the front seat when he shouldn't.

    The whole not speaking out on the horrible officiating being exhibit A. Potentially (with little evidence) ruling out drafting a player because of his last name being exhibit B.

    At some point he has to realize where the fault lies and act on it.. until then, I do blame him.

    Arm strength looked good at least........ and to be fair, I don't think he is overthrowing Fuller no matter how hard he tries. But none of that looks like the answer either. What if all of our blame-throwing speculation is wrong and BOB is keeping Osweiler out there because he is the better QB?! then we are really in trouble.

    Didn't you see this earlier Youtube clips!!!!?!?!?!?! Savage is the ANSWER

    In all seriousness, Brock isn't good. Savage deserves a shot. I don't think he'll be good either. But at least then we'all know definitively there are still no good QBs anywhere on the roster. And we'all also feel better about saying B'Ob sucks as well!

    I blame the owner for bad signing and there is evidence of in both the Ed Read and Brock signing. I also blame for all other bad signing and draft picks since 2012 that year Smith should have been fired.
    I'd rather have the owner take a back seat and let football people deal with football stuff. Only to appear when the team is in need of change

    With the poor play of Brock, you can't help but think that Savage deserves a chance to show he has a better handle of the current offense. Savage has been in the system longer and would seem to have a better grasp than Brock at this time.

    I would like for them to put Savage in and have it be like the time the Texans finally put Mallet in for Fitz, when Fitz was making a bunch of mistakes. Then Fitz saw the cadence and rhythm Mallet had within the offense and in some way it seemed to "click" for Fitz by the time they brought him back into the offense.

    I'm so disgusted with the decision to keep Brock as starter. What's the point other than to throw any chance we had at playoffs away. No hope, no confidence, and no satisfaction left in me. It's actually more depressing than last year, and much more embarrassing to look so pathetic on offense. What do we have to look forward to? Ugly wins? I sure miss the old days of the run and shoot. It's been years!!!!!!! Ah, to just see those Fab Four one more time would be pure joy.

    Totally agree Deb. I would give anything to see our old Run and Shoot Oiler Offense.

    Why is he the "tiebreaker" when it comes to football decisions when Rick and BOB disagree? Scary.

    Thanks for the pic. Now that was a fun offense to watch!!!!! I was hoping for so much more of this type of enjoyment this year with our new quarterback and the addition of more speed.

    He'd probably miss the plane, oversleep, have a flat tire, or his dog would have eaten his missing playbook.

    I think Savage will be terrible but might as well put him out there to make sure.

    Those guys look so small back then, and it isn't even that long ago. I think highschoolers today are bigger.

    If those teams had CJ Fido and Jay Prosch, they beat Buffalo and play Dallas in the SB.
