Michigan_Colts_Fan Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 How many quaterbacks is this now who start off well playing for O'Brien and then inexplicably fall apart? It started with Hackenberg at Penn State and has continued with the Texans. Mallett and Hoyer now this year plus possibly someone last year. Something is odd with how this keeps happening.

Derakynn Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Maybe Hoyer shouldn't be garb. But that isn't really his fault, you can't coach skill. They need a QB. Don't see O'Brian being scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think O'Brien's ego may be getting in the way here. He seems to think he can take any quarterback and be successful which can be true but to a point. Eventually the quarterback's ceiling gets hit and sometimes, like today, it gets hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudnproudcolt Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) You can say it is not O'Brien's fault he does not have a QB, since the GM is ultimately responsible, but they could have taken Teddy Bridgewater or Derek Carr two years ago. Imagine how good they could be with either of those two guys. The defense has not looked particularly good today, but it has to be hard to play when your QB gives up 5 TO's, and some of them were just plain terrible, The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Interceptions were, "what were you thinking" TO's. On the second Interception, they would have at least had a FG. You just cannot throw that ball. The third one was after they stopped them, 2 minutes to go and ball on the forty. Both of those they were down by only 13-0, and could have re-energized them. Terrible game, and where they are picking this year, a QB is going to be a developmental prospect most likely. I have to think Houston's owner, who was so patient with Kubiak will give O'Brien more time. As far as we are concerned, I am glad they don't have a QB. It is a waste of JJ Watt's talents.

King Colt Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 No way. O'Brian is well liked here and if this town ever gets a QB (other than the Oilers) The Texans could be respectable. It was funny to see the fans here claiming this is the year for the SB only to get shut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackenberg didn't fall apart until AFTER O'Brien left Penn State. He fell apart under the current PSU coaching staff. Not O'Brien's fault. As for the rest, they're just not all that good. You give opponents enough film to figure out what a QB can and CAN'T do and their play call regress. That's the difference between all those other guys you listed and the really good QB's who can do more no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 O'Brien is NOT going to get fired, even after today. And if he somehow DOES lose his job, it's a bad sign for Houston's management. The guy has done a good job in his two seasons, neither of which he had a QB. Try winning in the NFL without a quarterback. Pretty darn hard to do.

JPFolks Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He's more likely to get an extension than be fired. No one was beating that defense with Hoyer at QB and Alfred Blue as the featured back. Just like we were never beating Pitt with Hasselbeck or the overall talent on our team when we played earlier this season. It was actually closer than we would have been in that game I bet.

IcEWoLF Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He will not be fired. He has a good defense, he just doesn't have a QB worth a damn. Maybe JJ needs to start training on how to become a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfarley Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 He certainly had a bad game. The abomination that was Brian Hoyer went WAY too far into the game. They single-handedly embarrassed the AFC-South, themselves, the great city of Houston, and football fans in general. I mean are you kidding, 4 INT's!!!!! a fumble, bad coaching and you let a QB who looks like he could't beat the Browns on this night stagnate into damnation. However, O'Brien isn't going anywhere. He got the lowly Texans to the playoffs, had two or three 2nd to 3rd string QB's given to him by Rick Smith, gave us some laughs on hard knocks, and beat the Colts at LOS, something no other coach there could do.

Synthetic Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I don't see him getting the axe just yet. I think he's a mediocre coach who will eventually be fired, but Houston did overachieve this year, and they deserve a bit of credit for that. The Colts would have got slaughtered today too by this Chiefs team. This was a revenge game for the Chiefs screwing around in the playoffs a few years ago.

That's the one massive issue he will have to explain to his owner. Hoyer couldn't cope. Weedon was 1-0 and played well against the Colts which won them the division. Why wouldn't you give him a shot while it was still in reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
