Too bad...shouldn't have signed a legally binding contract obligating him to play for Houston.  

Think it is just that easy?  

We'll see how accurate you are.  

T. Taylor is set to start game one. 

Either way, it's no skin off my butt.  I wanted him before his issues but there is no way in hell I would give up 3-1st and multiple 2nds for a player that has all these legal issues.

It doesn't make sense to make him play.

Makes perfect sense as the goal is to win.

Plus, there would likely be a huge backlash by the public if they did.

So what?

Sure do.

I'm in no way predicting the team will take this path but do wish they would. 

 

There's only one thing that's for certain in this deal -- every one of the "he'll be traded by" prognostications (expert and armchair alike) has been flat out wrong.

I promise you the NFL does not want him out there. That overrides anything the Texans would do.

If the issues never came up, he most definitely would have been traded!

You don’t even think he is starting? Why are you asking everyone who the starter is? It just bothers you that even a player in legal trouble with little leverage has some pull on say on how he plays vs what the owners want.

On exactly what do you base this promise?  The League has taken no action whatsoever.

Because the Texans have no plans to play him. If they announced him to start week one he'd probably be on the commissioner's exempt list 15 minutes later.

Exactly, you can’t speak logic to that guy!

He's on the 53-man roster and available.  In the NFL "plans" change daily if not hourly!

If true the Texans should immediately name him the starter so they can then fill that 53rd roster spot with another player who is eligible and available.

You're not going to win by alienating fans, but more importantly bu allowing a disgruntled QB to lead the team.

Starting QBs who want no part of the organization while also upsetting a large portion of the fanbase. What could possibly go wrong?! Glad this guy isn’t running any organizations…

Texans fans are squarely behind Mr. Whip It Out because their only concern is winning!
