Houston Texans: Evaluating The Position Groups – Offense
By Bob Dove
Texans Quarterback Position Group –
Quarterback – The quarterback analysis is the Brock Osweiler analysis. No other Texans quarterback has seen the field, nor will they if Osweiler remains healthy. Bill O’Brien and Rick Smith staked their future employment and the Texans’ future on signing Osweiler. To bench him, no matter how poorly he plays, is to admit failure.
In truth, Osweiler is not yet a failure. However, the inexperienced quarterback is underperforming by almost every measure. To shed the “bust” label he must improve across the board – from recognizing defenses to setting protections, from dinks and dunks to hitting the bomb, from timing to accuracy. Each element of his performance must improve.
