Quote:Logan Thomas is better than Tom Savage. But he's still not really that high on the list. Especially the overall list. Unless you call 15th high. But hey, whatever makes you sleep better at night. Tom Savage won't amount to anything in the NFL no matter how much you want him to though.

Lol but Logan Thomas will huh? Now I know you're ridiculous. Thomas has terrible mechanics, poor decision making and probably the worst accuracy in college football when he was pressured.


So please explain why Savage can't succeed in the NFL for sure Einstein. Let's see:


1-four star recruit and all american coming out f high school.


2-Has an NFL caliber arm, one that might be better than many QB's already in the league.


3-clean mechanics in the pocket, and handled a pro style offense fairly well as a pocket passer. Something Bortles and Mamziel both struggled with.


4-has good movement in the pocket. As in he's able to extend plays and buy some time to make throws before the play is broken down, even if he can't run for extra yards.


5-gets up after every hit with physical and mental toughness.


Savage clearly has upside. So your argument thy he won't amount to anything for sure is hilarious. Accuracy is his only real issue because of his forced throws as well as the fact that he was simply rusty for not playing for two years before last season. And Savage got better in every game, his accuracy greatly improved the last couple of games.


No QB is a guarantee to succeed. Not Savage, not Bortles, Teddy or Manziel. As a Texan fan I initially wasn't happy taking Savage either, but after studying him and learning his background I can see why O'Brien likes him, he has all the intangibles to go with coachable traits. Are the chances likely that he will succeed? Maybe not, but I respect the Texans' decision to not reach for a QB if they weren't high on anyone but Teddy and Blake in the first couple of rounds. If Savage succeeds, he's essentially a fifth round steal. If he doesn't, the Texans can pool all of their resources into drafting Mariota or Hundley or someone in the next draft.
