You bring up valid points, but I don't think BOB is so enamored with Fitz that he's a lock to be the backup, or, heaven forbid, the starter next year. If they don't make a change at starter and Fitz is the guy, it will alienate more fans than at least trying to tap into the potential of or resurrect Mallett/Savage/Ponder/Locker/Glennon/Plug-in-name-here. I can't imagine any of those guys would turn down ~$4MM-$8MM on a 1 or 2 year deal knowing that they might hit gold on a fairly good team who is as needy as the Texans are for an upgrade at QB. Again, I'm not saying I want any of these guys or that they're the answer. I'm just saying I don't think the percentages of Fitz being back are as high as some do.
