Yeah, backup QB generally means less quality, but also less (if any) film to study and a lot of "Cajun Jake" type excitement on his part.  I'm optimistic and glad we get a backup, but between that and the flukiness of Thursday night football, I'm not ready to count any chickens just yet.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I'm going to guess they went to Watson to ask if he was willing to play, and in response he gave them a very clear "no".

At this point I don't think it matters whether he wants to play or not.  If he wanted to and the Texans agreed to let him start the commissioner steps in and puts him on the list.

Watson will not play another down until his dirty laundry is washed.

I'm pretty sure the Texans don't want him to play either.

And I think both sides also know what would happen if they planned on starting him Thursday.  There is literally no chance in hell the NFL would let it happen.  It would be a PR nightmare.

and a lot of that has been because of Tyrod Taylor.   If Taylor was playing, they might of given us our best challenge to date.   

yeah with him I'd still be comfortable with at least a close win, but he's been great and would've made it likely competitive. with the scrub rookie against our D I really just cannot imagine us losing this game. But I've seen crazier things in my life so taking nothing for granted.

I've been a Panthers fan for too long to start licking my chops at the idea of a backup starting against us. That game vs. the Cowboys when Tony Romo started for the first time and lit us up still lingers in the memory.

I think we paid him back for that one by virtually ending his career albeit it was near the end, actually I think we did end it.

From NFL.com:

Texans QB Tyrod Taylor likely to miss multiple weeks, might land on
 

The Houston Texans have looked like a different team than advertised with Tyrod Taylor on the field this season. They'll now be without him for a while.

The veteran quarterback will likely miss multiple weeks of action because of his hamstring injury and could land on injured reserve, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.

Taylor's absence thrusts third-round rookie Davis Mills into the starting lineup for the immediate future.

Around The NFL will have more on this story shortly.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
