I bet you were right. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. Sucks for the kid just getting his shot.

@PatDStat: #Texans make is official with the signing of Thad Lewis and placing Ryan Mallett on the IR.

So, if the rumors are true and the Texans want him (Mallett) back and he wants to come back, then I expect them to make him a deal post-season (R Smith doesn't do contracts during the season so the axiom goes). Some suggest him getting a reasonable (if not bargain) 2 year deal and that would make sense: Show us you're healed and can lead a team and we'll rework it ASAP....
