Hoyer Named Starting QB [Benched Week 2 - Mallett to Start]

[WMH]

Guess Hoyer is starting us off. We'll see how long it lasts. My guess is Week 6.

The #Texans have chosen Brian Hoyer as the team's starter, as @RapSheet first reported. Hoyer had the lead going into training camp.

I gotta think that was the plan all along from the day he was signed. It's Fitzy vers. 2.0.

Oh well, I'll be rooting for him to succeed but my expectations aren't very high...

I don't disagree with it but it is disappointing that Mallet could not beat him out. Mallett has been here over a year now and can't beat out a journeyman like Hoyer. This means we have no real QB on our roster. We can keep fighting to scratch out 9 wins while wasting JJ Watt's prime.

Yep. I see our biggest issue is we won't likely suck bad enough again to get in the #1-5 spot, so we'll have to pay a Kings ransom in order to get up there, or we'll keep playing the QB carousel until we finally suck bad enough to get up there, then hope there is a QB coming out that is worthy.

Damn, Indy got lucky......

Word. At least when they got Manning, they had wandered through the desert for awhile. This time, it was just like reloading.

If I'm the GM/HC and I have 2 or 3 scrub QB's on my roster that I know are not the long-term answer, which it appears the Texans have right now, I'm on the phone with Philly or Tampa trying to get Barkley or Glennon as cheaply as possible. Sure, I might find they're not be the answer either, but I'm not giving up trying to find lightning in a bottle. If I can get one of them with a lower round or conditional pick (which I guarantee you can get Barkley for), I'm pulling the trigger.

Am i the only one that likes what he is seeing in Savage? Not to start now, but maybe in the future?
