Quote:Well, you did go 2-14, following a 12-4 season 4 years ago.  I know, many factors came into play, but it happened.

 

Within the divisional context, the Jags played them well last year and had a chance to snatch Ws in both games if they weren't #becauseJags

 

You know the QB drives the team, so it's a monumental feat if you hand over the reigns of the team to the rookie, and he struggles.  Poor QB play directly affects defensive output.  As great as the tinhorns D has been the past 3 years, the team hasn't won more than 9 games in the regular season, precisely due to spotty O.  A rookie can make that O even spottier, with the D in even more compromising situations. I think 02 was going along those lines, for the 2017 season anyway.  If he starts and suffers growing pains that is.

 

The question is IF Tom Savage or Deandre Watson are worse than Brock Osweiler.  I guess my answer is no, particularly when the Texans traded a 2nd round pick to get Brock out of the darned locker room (plus cap.)  This actually applies to the 2-14 season, as Matt Schaub set an NFL record for consecutive pick-6 games.
