The Facts: If you're one of the people knocking the Texans for throwing $37 million guaranteed at Osweiler, Bill O'Brien couldn't care less about your opinion. The coach gushed over Osweiler Tuesday, talking about what he discovered while watching every snap from the former Broncos passer. "I think the first thing you look at is his film, how he plays the game," O'Brien said. "He's a big, tall guy with a strong arm and he stands in the pocket. When the rush is bearing down on him, he delivers the ball. Now, look, it's not always clean, but there's a lot that goes into that. I think the one thing I like about this guy is that he's got good leadership ability."
Diehards Line:
The Texans pounced on Osweiler only after an extensive review of every available quarterback, with O'Brien saying the team "spent a lot of time studying a lot of different guys, college guys, pro guys," but felt like "Brock gave us the best chance to win." Osweiler was hardly pristine during his seven starts with Denver last season, but O'Brien made it clear that no young quarterback is perfect. "Everybody asks me that," O'Brien said. "I need to improve, we all need to improve. ... Every player from J.J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins, all the way through -- everybody's got something that they need to improve upon. I would say with Brock, just continuing to develop his skill set as a passer and being as accurate as he can be. I think he's an accurate passer, but you're always striving for 100 percent." Not everyone believes that Osweiler's ready for prime time, but at least one NFL coach is completely sold.
