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.

      That game made me resign from my position as HC of UNC in my solo football dynasty on NCAA26.

      Nah, what he did in Cleveland was damn impressive.     ain’t no way in hell we (it’s my alma mater) should’ve looked like this tonight.  That was piss poor coaching and piss poor playing.  Like they said, for both teams, this was a similar setting to when TCU played Colorado when Deion was hired.  TCU coming in to play a game against a super famous football celebrity figure with a completely overhauled roster - difference is, Colorado played up to the moment.  We just folded like a cheap lawn chair.  I was joking during the game with friends, like they really watched a whole summer of Gio and Max and decided Gio was the starter?  Hell, I bet Bryce Baker as a freshman is better than Gio.  We hyped that signing of Gio like we just won the fuging lottery, and he is complete ass.  We spent two quarters desperately not trying to throw the football - I don’t know if it’s because he can’t or what?  But there was no excuse for that.  It felt so much like the Rhule years here.  I haven’t seen such a dysfunctional offense since or before.  And then the damn defense…. I asked my friend if they just brought all 70 new guys in from a lab that does arm and leg transplants because did these guys just receive their limbs and are figuring out how to use them???  Because I have never seen a whole team look so inept.  Diving early at feet and missing them entirely, getting trucked, flailing and falling everywhere, peewee league arm tackles, always looking a step slow…  no lie, whatever the worse I could’ve imagined that debut going, take that and make it 10 times worse and I never would’ve even seen THAT happening.  Absolutely no excuse for it.  None.  All the brand power and image brought with the Belichick hire, and that’s the best he could do in his debut.  They brought MJ, LT, and Roy out for THAT???  Man, I spent 7 years of my life living there and i NEVER saw or heard of LT coming out there during that time.  They actually got him coming around to watch THAT. Bill should be fuging embarrassed.  The fuging commentary booth brought a dog in and put a headset on him as Rece Davis said, “the wheels are off, ladies and gentlemen.”  As I said elsewhere - not under Mack 1.0, not under Torbush, not under Butch, not under Fedora,  and not under Mack 2.0, did we EVER look like THAT.  Never.  You bring in a guy that is considered one of the greatest football minds in coaching EVER, and we get shellacked and don’t even look competitive???  Boy I know the boosters are shitting fuging fireballs right now.
