Quote:Yeah, last year I was convinced Mallett was the guy, but O'Brien had something for Hoyer. I can't explain that. Had O'Brien got over whatever it was he didn't like about Mallett I'm sure we'd have had a better season.


Hoyer was benched week 1 because he was obviously she'll shocked. I still don't know why Mallett was benched a few weeks later. He took a breather instead of taking a time out & O'Brien didn't let him back in.


Then Mallett the headcase started showing up more & more.


Again, it doesn't bother me you don't have high hopes for Osweiler. I don't either.


I don't even remember which QBs beat you last season. I wouldn't doubt Jacksonville wasn't a notch on Hoyer's belt, meaning we probably could have beat you with Chad Henne.


Next year... we'll see. I hope Osweiler is as good as Mallett. That would be a step in the right direction.

 

It's not saying much to lay claim to beating the Jaguars regardless of the starting QB under center. Teams aren't measured by whether they can beat teams as poorly led as the Jaguars have been the last few years, teams are measured by how they do against other good teams. I seem to recall the texans looking pretty weak against Alex Smith and the Chiefs last year, and I don't think having Osweiler would have changed that outcome.
