The Texans are 3-0 vs. AFC opponents right now and get the Colts at home on a short week in a couple days. Why experiment so soon?

Y'all are posting like the 2014 season is already fait accompli. They've played five games and have been competitive thru 4.5 of them, only losing road games to non-conference opponents. Don't throw dirt on them yet.

I don't want it to happen yet. I am happy to watch competitive football. I am glad we are over achievers for the first time in Franchise history. I hope we can watch meaningful football all season. Last year was terrible. If we never get a chance to look at the rest of our QB roster because we are playoff competitive to the end I'll be happy. I just think no matter how well coached, or high effort we are this year, no matter how many wins we steal, it's a bit of a lame duck season. Foster, AJ, and Fitz are the cornerstones of this offense, and the odds of any of them being on this team in 2 years are almost zero. It is hard to really invest in a team of place holders, no matter how likable those place holders are.

So I will enjoy our relevance all season, and maybe into a first round playoff game in the weak AFC. But I am already more excited about guys like Blue and Morris than Foster and JJ. I already want answers about Jones as a Center more than I want to see 11 more games of Myers being reliable. Like you said, this team is far from dead, but I am just much more excited about the limitless future than the surprisingly above average present.
