How the hell did Deshaun Watson not start Week 1?

Who in there right mind thought Tom f’n Savage was better than this kid. This Houston team is fun to watch. Even Nuke Hopkins is getting involved again. Even in Preseason he was solid. Watson should’ve been the guy off gate

It’s pretty frustrating, wish he would have got all the camp reps. Oh well, he’s looked pretty damn good the last 2 weeks.
Can’t remember the last time we scored 30 In a half

Having Fuller back has been big today. Opened a lot of things up with them able to take shots down field. This Titans looks bad but I think Watson is gonna be pretty good

I don't know, but I'm glad I started him this week on my fantasy team

I suppose it's possible that the locker room may have been behind Savage, at first, and BOB was just waiting for the right moment to hand the team over to Deshaun. Remember, Hopkins came out in favor of Savage in the preseason.
Nonetheless, Watson continues to impress and, outside of that awful pick, he played a pretty flawless first half. Very encouraging.

It allowed me to grab him in round 15 of my FF draft.

Pro coaches do pro things. Lol
You are SUPPOSED to start Savage. You’ve talked him up all year. So I think the OP answer is stubbornness.
Especially if Savage looked as bad in practice or pre season as he did starting. No pocket awareness. Much less what was going on downfield. To get to a pro starting position and not instinctively step up in the pocket is mind numbing.
Watson had to go in after seeing that. Watson is the only guy on the roster who is capable of running for his life. Everything else is gravy. Watson’s job in game one was “don’t get killed!”
Some nice throws today and I like the way he runs AND gets on the ground. Don’t be RG3 and try run for 11 yards when you have 9 and 7 was enough. Get the frick down!!!

Maybe because he's a rookie, but I'm pretty sure most Texans fans knew Watson was the guy.

I have no idea.
Coaches are set in their ways.
That said, they did give Savage the quick hook.

The same staff that thought Brock was the answer last year?

Watson looks to be a frightmare for sure, but before we print the shirts; Titans D didn't do a single thing to put him in an uncomfortable place. All day.
1st & 10 they were gashing the Titans for 5-8 yards on the ground, and 3rd & anything he could lob it at Hopkins (or any other wide open receiver) for a completion/inerference on a very suspect Titans secondary.
