Quote:  I think the team overall performed well, but the Texans only won 2 games this season for a few reasons... just saying...

That being said Chad Henne is fine as a backup QB but he is certainly not a franchise QB.  The Oline needs help, the OC has to stop calling run plays up the middle with Maurice Jones-Drew (they go no where and risk him to injury).  I loved the screen & quick passes out to Maurice Jones-Drew allows him to be open and get some yardage down field.  I hate that Chad Henne can really only throw 5 to 10 yard passes same crap that [BAD WORD REMOVED] me off about Gabbert.  To be fair part of the reason is that the Oline cant protect neither long enough to throw the deep passes but there has been a few times where theyve had the time and he still threw a 10 yard or less pass.  That shows me that neither is a long term solution QB.  We need to draft our franchise QB this year.

 

You don't need great protection to throw down the field, you just need to be a good QB that understands coverage and knows what the defense is going to do before the ball gets snapped. The great ones do that and then throw their guys open. They know where the downfield throws will be completed and they throw them up before their guy even makes his break.

 

Gabbert seemed to be trying to do that in the Colts and Rams games and Shorts left him hanging. After that he seemed to give up. He appears to be done.

 

Checkdown chad was never good. He only would throw to guys that were wide open anyway, and now he doesn't have time for that so it's all checkdowns and quick slants.
