Why do you feel O'Brien is intentionally keeping Mallett from starting? What does O'Brien gain?
Every team has writers that are honest in their writings and those that are morons. There is more than one I follow and trust that is saying Hoyer didn't actually perform better.
Either way as Captive stated: Hoyer better perform or it will get ugly here. O'Brien banking on Hoyer is just dumb founding
Doing the exact opposite of what I thought he would. Going with the "safe" pick, the game manager. Maybe it is the water in this fucking city that makes all our head coaches sacks fall of.
He gets to troll Mech. Who doesn't love doing that?

Guess he has to put his genius cap on.
Deacon ain't trolling, he actually has some football knowledge unlike others here

I don't know that its intentionally keeping Mallet down as much as he seems to have a love affair with Hoyer. He spent 3 years with him in NE. Part of it has to be the arrogance of "i can fix him, other coaches weren't coaching him right/weren't putting him in the right situations."
Why haven't I seen this gif before?
If this doesn't get frequent use this season I'm going to be disappointed.
Poor Chip. How will he ever go on if people are allowed to hit QBs?

I don't think it has anything to do with being smart or being a moron.
I follow Jim Wexell of Steel City Insider, he is a very knowledgeable beat guy who has an inside lean on the team. Every single year his predictions for who gets taken in the draft and in training camp are way off base, just like everyone. He is not part of the team and as such his opinions, while more merited considering his proximity, are ultimately worthless when it comes to the direction of the team. Read: take a beat writers opinion with a grain of salt.
In all seriousness, I think you guys are being delusional with Mallett.
O'Brien would not intentionally keep him down. There is absolutely zero reason he would need to do that as a coach.
And even if he is tangibly superior to Hoyer, how many more games do you think he's winning you over Hoyer? 1? 2? If he was considered to be worth 1 more win he would be starting.
The act of there being a competition in the first place tells you that Mallett has issues. Are you really going to end the O'Brien honeymoon over that?
He has an abrasive way at times, but he's been right more often then not.
I mean really though we are all amateurs. Doesn't hurt to know what you don't know.
Its delusional to want to see what he can do? Outside of Mech's ridiculous hyperbole no one thinks Mallet is the next coming of anyone. We just want to see what he can do for a full season. He performed well against the browns, he made a lot of good plays, he made some good run checks that allowed Blue to have his best rushing game all season. He played ok against the Bengals and that was with a torn peck. So if that's delusion call me delusional. But id rather be delusional than trying the same fucking thing over again. I said it weeks ago, but when was the last time someones retread QB worked out? Kurt Warner? Rich Gannon and who else?

Chip Kelly said the play was a shotgun out of a handoff, not a zone read, so I was not completely wrong on that I suppose.

Yeah...down 8.15% so far :/
Dutch pls, that's cat abuse.
Welcome Brother, Romo will lead us to the promise land!!!
If he can't beat Hoyer in training camp then what makes you think he'll be any good or better in the regular season?

Right, but again I say, Mallett couldn't beat out a retread.
What that says to me is O'Brien doesn't think the answer at QB is on the roster. Doesn't seem that far off base to me. Since Schoob's meltdown the Texans have had a revolving door at QB, all this says is that it doesn't stop with Mallett.
One more time: maybe he isn't but he does have some unknown about him. We all know what Hoyer is.
Good morning, y'all!
I'm 3 hours late, but Mech, what did I say? What did I tell you this whole time? McClain is never wrong, yo. Time for more Hoy Hoy HEB commercials.
Hoy Hoy will lead us to a great season. :Mech :Mech :Mech
Oh and by the way, the current Astros logo a SHIT. The previous logo will forever remain the best looking one.
Welcome! It's always good to see new people. Now, I hope you love having pie on your face for loving the way wrong team. XD
I forget that you're a Finance guy. I hope Tony and Tanehill get the sack records.

And I was wrong. Apologies.
you guy aren't listening. I don't think there ever was a QB competition. I don't think Mallet ever had a chance to get the job outside of injury or Hoyer was downright awful.
I think Hoyer was the starter the second he was signed.
What are you in that dropped 8%? I was down 2.5 this morning. The dow was down 1000 points earlier and bounced back for now. I almost want to exchange into money market.
Just enjoy the ride.
If he's shit you'll see it and hopefully your coaching staff knows when is when. Then pray that they can evaluate and develop QB talent.
Worst case is a meddling QB that's neither good nor bad. Shit in this case is good, above average is good. Then you know where you stand.

I'm not arguing with you. You know your team better than I. All i'm saying is if that was the case that's all the indictment of Mallett you should need.
Now, that's going too far there! That is the ultimate NO-NO!

No worries. I think even if it wasn't a zone read it was designed to look like one to draw in the edge defender, so it's really not necessarily even an excuse.
They played it like a read option.
Can't claim one and show another.
It may have been a shotgun handoff by playcall, but the look on the field didn't show that.
How can you possibly know that based on two real games from Mallet?
For Mech, PFF weighs in:

Mallet never got a chance bruh.
Yeah, whoever's doing the whole "Fire O'Brien" thing are completely delusional.
This just tells me that Hoy Hoy is good enough so that the entire team is not solely dependent on him, unlike Peyton or Aaron.
They just need to run more and score more red zones, and never punt on 4th & 1s.

May Jimmy Johnson bless us.
Exactly. Now I have to be content with Brian Fucking Hoyer.
I just cant....I wont. FUCK!

You can root for the Jags, we will be equally as disappointing as the Texans.

I can't decide if I would be for the rule to state that the QB has to make a motion as if running to be hit. That would make it less ambiguous and safer but it may provide too much of an advantage because defenders would have to hold up on their tackle.
BOB was the OC when the Pats drafted Mallett and saw him in practice the entire 2011 season. I think BOB has a good idea of what he can do.
You know I love you, but for some reason seeing you suffer is more fun than with others.
Probably that Clark Griswold thing.
