With Houston's top RB hurt, top LT likely out, and second-string (though between him and Hoyer, they're both arguably "second string") QB starting it seems like a reasonable time to give injured guys another week to heal. Plus, Carolina has significant depth at the DT and LB positions, so it's not like they're going to trot out Fua and Dan Connor in place of Star and Luke. RR and the team are not looking past the Texans so much as playing the individual matchups and betting that it will benefit in the long run.  If this were 4 weeks from now, those guys might very well be playing.

What I don't get is he practiced for three days straight and even looked good, I just don't get it

Sounds like basic precaution considering this is an out of conference game, and we have 2 divisional games coming up next, plus Seattle, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, and Green Bay after that.

Sheesh will you guys relax, Rivera said he would see if Star was game ready after missing so much time, practicing and being game ready is too different things.

They said they were taking the cautious approach with Star,I'm sure if the Division title was on the line today he would play. I'll rather go into the Saints game with both Luke and Star getting a extra week to recover.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.

      Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
