Its time for Jay Cutlers to end.With choosing Cutler is officially the best quarterback available on the open market, and the still desperately need a competent QB. The dots connect Ryan Callahan Men Jersey themselves. The Texans should rebound from Romos retirement by signing Cutler. It might not be the marriage they wanted, but its one that could save their season.With their playoff-caliber defense, receiving corps and running back already in place, the Texans are only lacking a quarterback. Its been that way for a while now. The Texans have made the playoffs in consecutive seasons with their defense, but theyve failed to make any noise in January because theyve been forced to trot out guys like and for the playoffs.After the 2015 season, the Texans lost 30-0 to the in the wild-card round when Hoyer threw four interceptions. In January, they fell to the in the divisional round when Osweiler to sed three picks. Losing to the Patriots isnt something to be embarra sed about, but continually wasting a playoff-caliber defense (that ranked first in yards allowed, 11th in points allowed, and seventh in last year without ) isnt ideal.Say what you want about Cutler -- hes never lived up to his potential, hes a lightning rod for controversy, -- but the Texans have had since, well, forever. Cutler would come in and immediately turn the Texans into fringe Super Bowl contenders. Its been a while since Cutler has been on a team thats featured a competent defense, which means it can be easy to forget how good Cutler actually was back when the had a playoff-caliber defense. From 2010-12, when the Bears defense was the strength of their team, Cutler guided them to a 27-13 record. He in that span despite the fact that he mi sed eight games.I know what youre thinking: Every quarterback couldve won those games with that defense, right? The answer is no. Cutlers backups went 2-6 in that span.That doesnt Braydon Coburn Women Jersey mean Cutler will a win Super Bowl in Houston. Hes a good, not great quarterback who experiences extreme peaks and valleys. But he also represents the Texans best bet to win a championship. Their defense isnt dominant enough to follow the 2015 Broncos blueprint, when they used the corpse of to win a Super Bowl. The Texans blueprint should be similar to that of the from a few years ago, when caught fire in the postseason. Except the Texans defense is better than that Ravens defense. And Cutler is better than Flacco. Still doubt his ability to play? In 2015, he posted the strongest numbers of his career before his 2016 season was ruined by injuries.I think Brett Howden Jersey hes a starting quarterback in the NFL, Adam Gase, the Bears offensive coordinator in 2015, said last week, My experience with him was very good, he continued. I dont get all the hatred towards him. I see a guy that worked hard and did everything he could to help his team win. He sacrificed his body. To me, he was an athletic quarterback that can throw the ball. When you got to third down you could call the worst play po sible and he would get the conversion. He made a lot of things that we did look really good. I think he has a lot to offer a team. the Texans could very well decide to: 1. give the full-time starting job, or 2. draft a quarterback to compete with Savage. But those paths are flawed -- at least more so than signing Cuter. If Savage was ready to quarterback a Alex Killorn Kids Jersey playoff team, why were the Texans in the market for Romo in the first place? Furthermore, why couldnt Savage beat out Osweiler and hang on to the job last year? The answer is at least somewhat related to Savages talent level.The Texans cant afford to waste time with an unproven rookie quarterback. Watt is , is nearing the end of his rookie deal, is in the prime of his career, and is scheduled to be a free agent after the 2017 season. The are also on the rise, the likely wont waste forever, and the have to get good at some point (OK, maybe not). The point being, the Texans are in the middle of their championship window.Thats why Im gue sing Cutler would happily end I never really saw him signing with a bad team so that he could serve as a punching bag -- been there, done that. What he wants at this stage in his career, Im gue sing, is to prove that he can win games. He can do that in Houston, throwing bombs to another big target in Hopkins. And dont tell me the Texans Vladislav Namestnikov Men Jersey cant afford to sign Cutler to a fair contract. This is the team that handed Osweiler Like it or not, this marriage makes sense for both sides. Its time for the Texans to move on from their dream of acquiring Romo ( ) and sign the next best option. And, of course, its time for Cutler to put his pants back on. Thanks to Romos retirement, Cutlers dream job just became available.
