As Colts fans, we must love being in the AFC South.

[jvan1973]

same old Texans

[Dustin]

BoB loves terrible QBs. 

[lollygagger8]

Ooooooooo Colts better watch out!! 

[21isSuperman]

Hoyer almost beat us last year in Cleveland, but I'm still not too worried about this

[Valpo2004]

Not too worried. . . they would be better off with Ryan Fitzpatrick.  

[HtownColt]

Rejoice

I saw it as the Browns' defense held our offense in check, but thanks to Hoyer, we were in the game. Luck pulled out the last minute win in typical Cardiac Colts fashion.

Yeah those 13 points were particularly menacing.

[Valpo2004]

Don't know why they need Hoyer when they are signing Mallet and already have Fitzpatrick.  How is Hoyer an improvement over any of those guys?

Yeah, our own offense didn't particularly help the cause.  But Hoyer nearly came away with the win

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Hoyer is better than who they have imo.

[Synthetic]

The Colts have it made.

 

6 easy wins every year against the most pathetic division since the realignment. 

 

Be happy, be very happy. But I'm sure this summer everyone will hype up Houston like they did last year too.

[BOTT]

Hoyer is better than Luck

~signed, the smartest Texans fan ever

[amfootball]

Isn't Mallett going to be the starter?

[Superman]

He's better than both of them.

 

I don't see how this is a bad plan for the Texans.

just getting out of the dis functional Cleveland franchise has to improve your game some. They do need to get some wr help now though. I think they want mallet to be the man but have hoyer behind the glass break in an emergency. I wonder if they are regretting not moving back into the first re like Minnesota did to get teddy or passing on Carr.

[SkyBane]

Looks like they weren't sold on him. Either way its a decent signing for Houston, if one goes down, there won't be a huge drop off when the other comes in.

[jvan1973]

mallett is a free agent

[mo0nlighting]

mallett is a free agent

 

And is coming back from a torn pec. But Hoyer?  Really?  Wonder if they'll go for Bryce Petty.

[SkyBane]

mallett is a free agent

Incorrect. The Texans signed him to a 2 year deal.

Cool. Should be interesting to see if he can beat out Mallett as the starter. I like the depth, should this signing actually happen

The Texans lead the league with the most backup qbs with no starting quality qb

Maybe we should tank and try to get the best guy available instead. But then again, he might just be a tad bit overhyped so I hope not....

Luck is better than any Texans qb that has ever played there

Mr. Interception is going to have to worry about more than Tom Brady throughout his career, you should remember that.

It won't be Brian Hoyer or Mallet though

Count on it.

Oh I'm counting on the fact that it won't be either of those guys

You're right. It'll be them AND Watt AND Clowney and probably a few others when all is said and done.

Seems like I've heard this all before

Nah. Our top draft pick was hurt all of last year and Watt is only getting better. No team stays the same forever.

[SkyBane]

and Clowney has proved... what exactly?

Look at what every person who has played football before universally agree about him and his potential, then get back to me.

Potential is a funny thing. It can be high as a mountain yet still amount to nothing. Especially with an injury history dating back to college. 

[Qwiz]

Potential is the only thing you can go on for any player. Injuries happen all the time too, some even career ending, so not sure why a nagging one from college (which player in question had surgery for) should be relevant.

[aaron11]

should have drafted bridgewater last year.  then the texans would be dangerous in a year or two.  hoyer will just delay the team for another year, wasting another year of jj watt in his prime.

 

i dont think clowney will be anything special, its been what 3 years, and several injuries since he has looked like a dominant player.  that was in college too.

 

i think he will play again, but his play wont come near the hype surrounding him before he was drafted

[Vance]

Solid backup plan. OB's daddy didn't raise no fool.

[aaron11]

i actually want to respect the texans so that we could have some interesting division rivalries again, but their decision making at QB has made that hard to do.

 

if you own the #1 pick and need a QB, then you use that pick to get your guy, if it takes a trade, then by all means trade.  the falcons would have given a nice haul of picks to move up and take JC.  it would not have been the ransom the rams got for RG3 but it would have gotten houston a few extra picks and the #6 overall to take their guy
