Well Ryan Mallett fans I have some bad news. Actually, I'm not too sure how many Ryan Mallett fans there are out there but either way the Houston Texans have decided to give the starting quarterback job to Brian Hoyer.

On Saturday night, neither player distinguished himself in a depressing 14-10 loss to the Denver Broncos. Mallett got the start, going 5-of-7 passing for just 23 yards on two drives and didn't look downfield once, despite boasting a strong arm. Hoyer fared a little better going 7-of-11 for 52 yards with two sacks. Neither quarterback led a scoring drive in the first half Saturday.

Hoyer was always the safe choice. Sure, Mallett looked better on paper but when it comes to the big NFL plays, Mallett has proven time and again he can't handle it by simply collapsing. He can't take that kind of pressure the entire season.

It's a shame too. You'd think a guy sitting on the bench in NE would have picked up a thing or two from Tom Brady. Maybe he knows how to deflate footballs.

I think this is the smart choice for the Texans. Anything, at this point, is better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's Buffalo's problem now.
