Mallett Named Starter
@ChronBrianSmith: #Texans name Ryan Mallett starting quarterback, coach Bill O'Brien said.
And away we go. Definitely curious to see how this works given his mobility and protection issues. This is interesting...... @ChronBrianSmith: #Texans' O'Brien said he told GM Rick Smith, others "last night, this morning" after making the decision to name Ryan Mallett starter.

Not going to hear many complaints about this after a 4-5 start. Makes sense if the team isn't going to be in the playoffs this year to check out Mallett before he become a free agent.
Not a lot of tape to go off of on Mallett, so...

I'm excited about this just because it feels like a move forward. Even if all it accomplishes is telling us Mallett is not the QB of the future (likely), at least it tells us that.
Because even though I like Fitz and his attitude/effort, watching him try his best tells us nothing about the future of this team.

Well, goodness. As a fan of his college team, I hope he gets a fair shake and they don't get him killed. I watched many/most of his college games and he's a little like the young pitcher who can throw 100+ but has control issues.....
He's a bit of rare bird in this day of the throw-the-young-QB-to-the-wolves NFL. What, he's got like 3.5 years in the league with pretty much no experience? Expect mistakes and sacks..... I hope the Texans are working on their quick-hitter passing game...

I'm looking forward to it because we saw the limitations of Fitz and we've pretty much topped out as an offense with him at the helm. We need to see what Mallett can do, for better or worse. Fitz got us two more wins than we had all last year so he should not be looked at as a failure but it is time to see now what else we have in the cupboard before it gets to decision time next spring.

Not sure if you've seen this, but pretty good read on Mallett's story.
Hope he doesn't suck.... http://espn.go.com/blog/houston-texa...etts-long-road

Mallett look great, IMO. That one INT was somewhat poor placement and it just looked like he put too much air under it. As I watched it live, I just sensed that he floated it too much and the defender was going to be able to make a play on it. Had he thrown to the pylon side or maybe with less air, it likely would've been a TD. In addition, he obviously had his mind set on going to that left side to Hopkins, but after watching the replay, I think AJ (or someone) was wide open on the right side. Live and learn, but GM1 was extremely positive and I'm excited to watch our boys again.
Some interesting stats posted on Twitter today: Pro Football Focus @PFF · 2h2 hours ago Ryan Mallett's average time per pass attempt was 2.06 seconds vs CLE. Off the charts fast, lowest in the league this week. Pro Football Focus @PFF · 2h2 hours ago More Mallett: When ball was out in under 2.5 secs passer rating was 123.1, when it was >2.5 seconds: 31.3 passer rating.
