Houston Texans: Bill O’Brien can win games with terrible quarterback play
The Bill O’Brien era of Houston Texans football will end up being one of the most interesting case studies in the NFL. O’Brien is a quarterbacks coach by trade, having developed passers with the New England Patriots and the Penn State Nittany Lions.
He’s cut his teeth in player development, but the quarterback play he’s had in three years with the Texans has been rancid. Last season, the Texans won the AFC South at 9-7 after starting four quarterbacks.
This year, Houston will finish above .500 and could repeat as AFC South Champions. O’Brien finally benched Brock Osweiler in Week 15 after two early picks against the punching-bag Jacksonville Jaguars.
He has a good defense thanks to great coaching from Romeo Crennel and Mike Vrabel and he has offensive weapons to work with. If O’Brien gets the quarterback position right with this roster, yes, Houston can get to and win its first Super Bowl in 2017.
