I'm sure that would change if Mallett showed promise.I don't know, but I'm seeing a fair amount of speculation linking Hoyer and O'Brien today. If Mallett is a quality starter, it might not be at the Texans. Still, today should be interesting.
I think it's pretty much some media guys drawing connections than anything substantial.
I mean everyone scouts everyone. But I'd be surprised if any of the coaches were wasting one minute thinking about Hoyer instead of prepping Mallett. They've got an unscratched lottery ticket there, and it might be a loser, but they should be 100% focused on finding that out first over the rest of the season.
I hope he does good but I'm not really invested in his success. Now Hoyer I'm actively rooting for and by default the Browns.
I'm much more emotionally invested in Hoyer.
This seems the general mood, and I'm curious why. Both were Patriots for 3 years, worked hard and kept their mouths shut, then were pushed out by a promising rookie.
(FWIW I'm more invested in Mallett's success this year, given the conditional draft pick.)
They had an interview with mallet last year during preseason and he was unlivable IMO. Seemed like a dummy. Nothing to do w football, but hyper is the better story
I'm sure O'Brien knows which QB he likes best just as I'm sure he'll prep Mallett as well as possible but that doesn't mean that if he thinks Hoyer is the much better QB that he can covet Hoyer whilst prepping the QB he's got to the best of his ability.
My sense is that he's one of those guys that simply just needs playing time to become comfortable. He has the obvious physical gifts, but never seemed at ease back there on a consistent basis - some additional PT may cure that.
