What else can they do? Their other option is hoping they draft a QB who has only played against college athletes and defenses, and we know that isn't a slam dunk either.
They can't sign a starter in free agency because that just doesn't happen any more.
Just like every team in the league they will chase a QB until they get lucky.

Oh but it does!

that was fast. I can't recall the last time since maybe Daunte Culpepper that an undisputed starter left their franchise. Favre and Brees got pushed out for other reasons.Posted on 1/16/17 at 10:37 am to Teddy Ruxpin
I was making an Osweiler joke
He wasn't an undisputed starter in Denver but it was obvious Houston was signing him to start. We see how that's turned out. You're right though, high quality QBs never hit the open market.
I really wish this front office would try to draft and develop a high quality college QB prospect but I doubt it happens. Rick Smith is a joke

Rick Smith is so fricking scared of using an early pick on a QB
If I was Rick Smith at this point, I wouldn't fear anything. The fact he still has a job is simply astounding. The rest of his life is basically house money.

Would be an expensive temporary band-aid. Texans are in a shitty situation at QB without much room to realistically do much more than draft a QB in the first or second round.

Yeah their hands are tied next year. Osweiler isn't going anywhere and they can't tie up 35-40 mil at the QB spot next year and hope to contend. I would really like to see them draft a QB

It's win now time and a QB is the main missing piece.

Is 36 and played in 5/32 games the past two seasons. Not a long term fix that is for sure, but maybe worth a shot or two, if they can pay him.

Trade JJ and get his salary off the books.

frick that

I get that they have a roster to win now. but I think getting an expensive, bones made of glass, Romo on the back end of his career is a kind of move that Drayton McLane would be proud of and could set the franchise way back.
Hands down Romo is more talented than any QB currently on the roster. Just don't believe that is the direction they need to go money wise when you already have so much dead money in Brock.

Why not? The defense is already the top defense in the league without him. What you could get for him would be much more useful for the team than him making the #1 defense a little bit better.

I would entertain trading JJ for a young QB you could make a long term franchise player. Romo is not that guy.

Completely different scenario from what Drayton did.

The defense could absolutely dominate if he comes back close to full speed. It was very good this year but there's definitely room for it to be better. You're going to get a bunch of picks for Watt, do you really think this front office will use them wisely on a QB and OL help?
Watt could make this defense easily the best in the NFL if he's healthy, the type of defense that could carry them to 11 or 12 wins with a semi competent offense.
They need to power through next year with Osweiler on the books and hope they can find the answer at QB in this draft.

While I agree that he would make the defense even better, I think the team overall could be better from trading him.

I disagree unless you're getting a proven top 10 QB. And those types of elite player for elite player trades almost never happen in the NFL. You would likely get a basket of picks and I don't think that gets them any closer to a title, especially with Rick Smith doing the drafting
