Well there's a reason why he was named the starter after the draft and before camp.. they don't plan on starting Watson this year, never have. Savage has 3 years in the system and despite being a 4th round pick mainly because he was a college transfer and didn't get as much playing time, he has prototypical size and a ++ arm. Injuries have robbed him of previous opportunities.  I hope he stays healthy, because I want to see what he can actually do being named the starter going into the season..He looked pretty good in that comeback last season.  

After watching all the crap we've rotated in and out ahead of him the last 3 seasons He deserves his shot this season. Watson still has to get up to speed, learn the system, and the offensive line is questionable.. it wouldn't be productive to throw him to the wolves right now.  Houston already learned that lesson with their last 1st round QB.
