Houston Texans forever trying to get it right
Time for another ride on the quarterback carousel in Houston.
From week to week, we are never sure whether we will be watching Brian Hoyer or Ryan Mallett under center for the 1-4 Texans.
In Week 1, Hoyer started but was replaced by Mallett late in the fourth quarter in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Texans let Mallett start in Week 2, resulting in another loss to the Carolina Panthers.
Week 3, with Mallett still starting, the Texans posted their first win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Once again getting the nod to start in Week 4 was Mallett. However, his inconsistency wore on his coach, and he was yanked third quarter in favor of inserting Hoyer.
Surprisingly, the Texans reverted back to start Mallett in Week 5 and he played until he took a vicious hit in the second quarter. In came Hoyer who threw some impressive touchdowns, which was enough to keep him the rest of the game while a cranky and visually peeved off Mallett fumed on the sidelines.
Someone give this guy a hug or a baby bottle already.
What did you think about that hail mary Ryan Mallett? https://t.co/5xiIahyTVa

The quarterback revolving door will surely keep swinging throughout the season, as it has in years past when Matt Schaub went downhill. With that said, the Texans, who chose to pass over Derek Carr in the 2014 NFL draft, seriously need to address their dreary quarterback situation.
