Maybe I misunderstand BOB then. If a quarterback is accurate and intelligent maybe he doesn't care if a guy is less like Tom Brady and more like Fran Tarkenton or Steve McNair.

But if so, then why is he hand-picking guys like Fitz, Hoyer, Mallett and Savage?

Fitz is actually pretty mobile and definitely a risk taker. And he's not particularly accurate.

Hoyer is the only guy on your list that could be described as smart and accurate, and he's the homeless man's version of smart and accurate.

I don't think anything O'Brien has done at QB for the Texans gives any indicator of what he likes. I think he has kicked QB down the road for his whole career here and gone with whatever was easily available (or what his GM gave him last year). I think his disregard of the QB position gives more reason to question his QB cred than any performance from the journeymen he's started.
