Osweiler gave fans just enough (Patriots, Steelers 1st half) to see greatness and just enough (Chargers, Steelers 2nd half) to be fearful. He's not a graceful runner but he can get the job done and he has the strong arm to zing the ball where it needs to go but he seemed to be easily confused on blitzes which may/may not be cured with more playing time instead of sitting on the bench.
Personally, I think the Texans overpaid but, given their situation, it's as good an option as anything else. Think of it this way: Texans traded Hoyer, Foster, Jones and Brooks for Osweiler, Miller, Allen and Bergstrom. Did we improve? Depends how you look at it.
