Could Brandon Weeden start in 2017?
Brandon Weeden has a good chance at starting for the Houston Texans.
Let’s face it. If Tom Savage bombs and rookie Deshaun Watson isn’t ready to play, Brandon Weeden could become the Houston Texans’ starting quarterback at some point in 2017.
As nauseating as it is to think about, the Texans’ playoff hopes could fall into the hands of a player that every knows doesn’t have any business starting in the NFL.
The good news is that Savage has looked good this offseason. But let’s face it, a lot of people could look good playing football wearing shorts and no shoulder pads.
There is still a chance that once the season kicks off that Savage falls on his face.
Savage could even start out well over the course of the first few games and then falter. Nothing is guaranteed heading into the upcoming season.

So if Watson isn’t ready and Savage can’t get the job done, I think we could see Weeden get the nod.
Texans’ head coach Bill O’Brien is encouraged by what he’s seen from Weeden this offseason.
"“I have a lot of respect for Weed. He’s had a good spring,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said. “He knows our system a lot better than I felt like he did last year. He’s made a lot of strides, and I really enjoy coaching him. He’s not accepting anything. He’s got a lot of talent.”"
Let’s face it, with O’Brien’s quote above, Weeden is only a Savage meltdown or injury away from starting.
