Mallett Named Starter

Gee...I actually can't wait for the next game. Mallett might ultimately suck, but at least the franchise is moving forward.

I'm excited to, imagine a lot of us are just for the suspense of what the tall, rangy Mallett with the cannon-arm might accomplish in his NFL debut. Why I'd be willing to bet that the Chuckster was squealing like a giddy little high school girl going to the prom with her favorite beau when he first heard that Mallett would be starting for the Texans after the bye week.

To paraphrase Keith in the Pick'em/Survivor thread:
Taunt at your own risk
During his deep bye week sleep
The Chuckster monster.

Actually, I think everybody not named Ryan Fitzpatrick is looking forward to it.

I warmly support the move, if that's the issue at hand. I am not, however, in the It can't get any worse camp. Because it can, and it might very well.

But who cares, really? At least we have a reason to keep paying attention.

Well that's good enough for me. In the meantime, the long-term forecast for next weekend in Cleveland is windy with a hi of 36 and snow, so it's probably a good thing that Sunbelt native Mallett has spent the last 3 years in New Englands weather and also has that big gun.

I think it will get worse. I don't really think Mallet will be any kind of answer (short or long term). And yet I'm still more excited for it than almost anything this season because of the eternal optimism brought on by the unknown.

Hopefully his debut can exceed the excitement of Clowney's debut.

Don't like to face it, but I'm starting to feel like there's a real chance that Clowney goes IR instead of playing in Cleveland.

It sure would be nice if Mallet shows enough good things to suggest he should have a shot at being the starting QB for 2015..... It would make picking up (another) QB - an early round QB - in the next draft not so urgent....
