Tom Savage Agent

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

Tom Savage's agent ended up speaking out loud about why Savage got benched he couldn't figure it out. I mean I didn't watch most of the game but still to go out to the media on short week, other teams may not want to work with this agent as much anymore.

Having seen a bit of the game it made perfect sense.  The Texans O-line was getting torn to shreds and, although there was little they could do about the line in terms of personnel, Watson is a more mobile quarterback and so would have a better chance to move out of the way of danger if needed (and it was needed a lot).

 

The fact Calais Campbell got 3.5 sacks in the first half tells you all you need to know about why a change was needed.

Because they had a first round draft pick QB on the bench and where never sold on Savage in the first place.

I guess, but then why did they start Savage in the first place if they weren't sold on him?

They where pretty 50/50 about who to start and most coaches these days have some idea in their heads that it would be good to let their 1st round draft pick QB sit for at least a year to learn.  So they started the vet.   

 

The problem is that doesn't realistically happen a lot.  Teams pick QB's in the first round usually because they need one.  The only 1st rounder this year that I see sitting the entire length of the season is Pat Mahomes.  

 

Trubinski may make it through the season without starting a game too. . . Glennon didn't look half bad against Atlanta.  But if he starts screwing up or the Bears look out of contention there will be a ton of pressure to start the rookie, if for nothing else to try to create some excitement for next season.

I thought Savage looked decent. When he found time he was accurate but he seldom had time. I felt bad for him, he was getting clobbered at every snap. Watson didn't do much better, he was sacked 4 times as well..

Can't believe people like Savage so much when they ripped on Brock all last year.  And now he's getting outplayed by Watson through sheer athleticism, even funnier!  Brock was bad too, but he couldn't get the benefit of the doubt from many people for some reason...People wanted to see him fail since he won games in Denver, though Elway was 100% correct when he said they don't win that SB in 2015 without Brock to win a few games for them. 

 

The coach is the problem in Houston and always was...He's went through quarterbacks like a pair of socks - Hoyer, Weeden, Brock, and now Savage and Watson...He still hasn't hit on a QB and yet he gets none of the blame for some reason.

Might be best if your agent stays out of everything but contract negotiations
