That's what they said about Fitzpatrick/Keenum/Mallett.

I feel like that's what they say every year regardless. Hoyer is not a bad QB.

[Qwiz]

I feel like that's what they say every year regardless. Hoyer is not a bad QB.

True, he even almost had Cleveland looking respectable last season. If our HC believes in him, then I'm not going to question him either. I think he's earned it, but we'll see how it works out.

I hope Hoyer works out for your team. It seemed from what you wrote in other threads that you liked Mallet. No? What's going on with Savage?

You're right, I'm definitely still a Mallett fan. I think he has more upside, but BOB is the one who sees them practice everyday, as does the media, and Hoyer is the one who's been lauded the most. He is more accurate and has a little more poise which is natural given his experience. All summer long people have said it was his job to lose.

I'm not on the Savage Train though. I mean he looked decent against back-ups but the guy is stil raw and has a lot to learn. That's just my take on him though, for what it's worth.

[21isSuperman]

Hoyer isn't terrible.  He's capable, but not great.  I like to think of him as a poor man's Alex Smith

That is all they really need. They need a game manager who won't cost them games. That great D will keep them in games and give them a chance in the fourth quarter.

[MTC]

Texans should trade for Mettenberger. 

[The Fish]

Hoyer stinks, don't kidd yourselves. 

[Danfish98]

People like to hate on Hoyer, but the guy wins a decent amount of the time when given a chance, even with the Browns. Probably a good decision to name him starter here.

They have an average defense with one great player.

[Qwiz]

You must be thinking about the 2014 Texans. It's 2015 now.

[jvan1973]

Well, until I see otherwise they are an average defense

[Qwiz]

Well, until I see otherwise they are an average defense

Fair enough.

[Johnhenry]

They have an average defense with one great player.

I think they are much better than that and they will keep getting better. One could say the Colts are an average offense with one great player too.

[jvan1973]

Statistically the Texans were an average defense last year. The Colts were not an average offense

[SDakColts]

Texans should trade for Mettenberger. 

I agree they should trade for Mettenberger or Chase Daniel. Both solid up and comers.

[Johnhenry]

They would be without Andrew Luck.

[jameszeigler834]

You must be thinking about the 2014 Texans. It's 2015 now.

Yes it is 2015 but they have one big pass rushing threat JJ Watt without him that team is very pedestrian.

[Qwiz]

Just because you can only name one player doesn't mean the rest of the team is bad. Without Andrew how good do you think the Colts are?

[jameszeigler834]

Still better than the Texans we own you.

[Qwiz]

Keep dreaming. 2011 would happen again if Andrew went down and you know it. I don't know why I'm even trying to talk football with the least knowledgeable person on the forum.

I don't think so and that is one year and as I recall you beat us down in Houston but we still beat you in Indy least knowledgeable I think you need to look back at yourself get your story's straight before you start running your trap.

[Qwiz]

Run on run on run on run on no punctuation no punctuation run on run on run on.

Yeah, my trap is the one that's "running." Ha, yes, least knowledgeable and apparently also one of the worst at debates and comebacks. Try again later man, this one goes in the L column for you.

[OhioColtsGirl]

Hoyer will be OK as long as the Texans have a consistently good running game and the O line protects him. 

 

I still think Mallet has more of an upside. Hoyer has a weak arm, IMO.

[crazycolt1]

They would be without Andrew Luck.

If?  Well any team would be average without their star player so your comment means zero.

It is not a democracy the fact remains other than a few time here and there you have lost to the colts everytime. also on top of that you still never beat us in Indy. So run on run on your the least knowledgeable one because you cant separate fact from fiction you talk 2011 like they just own us both times and that is wrong so keep running your trap no one is going to listen to you.

[jvan1973]

They would be without Andrew Luck.

Imagine how bad the Texans d would be without Watt

[crazycolt1]

Still better than the Texans we own you.

You sound like a 12 year old with the 'we own you' comment. If that is the case you can be overlooked with that comment. If you are older than that you make yourself look like a troll.

Okay. You clearly missed the point but that's okay.

[Johnhenry]

It was in reaction to someone who said that Houston's defense would be average without J.J. Watt. That also meant zero.

[Johnhenry]

Imagine how bad the Texans d would be without Watt

 

Yes, they would be average or less. Just like the Colts offense would be average or less without Luck. I fail to see your point?

[crazycolt1]

This is a forum, not a smack talk room.

I am 21 years old thank you very much and ok we beat you most of the time how is that good enough for you?.

[jameszeigler834]

Okay. You clearly missed the point but that's okay.

Whatever get steppin.

[Qwiz]

Whatever get steppin.

Take your own advice.

[jameszeigler834]

Take your own advice.

No its not  my fault you think you were so much better than us in one year I was talking since the colts have been in the AFC south take some time and ask questions before you call someone unknowledeable colts are average on defense and O-line nowhere else. But you think what you want stick to your team and ill stick to mine.
