Texans coach Bill O'Brien said he is unsure if Brian Hoyer is still his starting quarterback.

Hoyer was benched in the fourth quarter of Week 1 with the Texans down 27-9. Hoyer struggled to move the offense, absorbed four sacks and turned the ball over twice before being yanked. The Texans want their quarterback to be a game manager, and Hoyer failed in that regard on Sunday. Ryan Mallett could start Week 2 against the Panthers.
 
The Texans benched Brian Hoyer in favor of Ryan Mallett with 6:10 left in the fourth quarter of their Week 1 loss to Kansas City.
There's probably already a quarterback controversy in Houston. Hoyer went 18-of-34 passing for 244 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a fumble lost in about three and a half quarters of work.

Yeah, I understand they don't have a guy they drafted or invested a lot in, but I'm surprised with just how short that leash was for Hoyer. 

Regardless, we have made Brady Look pedestrian at our best, so I'm not too worried about who they trot out there next week, especially if we get Star back.

I find it weird because when he broke the news to the guys on Hard Knocks he said that he was fully behind hoyer so he didn't have to worry about being yanked if he played bad. Then in three quarters of the first game he pulls him. I think Mallet is better but it's just strange after saying the exact opposite on national TV

They still have Watt so the game will still be tough.  A QB problem does help ease me a bit with the likely scenario that Luke doesn't clear Concussion protocol before the end of the week in order to play Sunday.  Our only saving grace is a home game so we don't have a travel day, but I'm not sure that even if cleared Saturday he would play much because of lack of knowledge of the game plan most likely.

It's not like he'll be locked up in solitary confinement. He will know the game plan. If he's cleared before 1 p.m. on Sunday, he will play.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
