Houston Texans Rumors: Robert Griffin the answer at quarterback?

Several teams are in need of a leader on the field, just look at the Cleveland Browns over the last decade, but one squad that made the playoffs last year are searching for help and it just so happens, its in the 26-year-old home state of Texas.

Houston started the year 2-5, but still managed to make the playoffs, despite a revolving door at quarterback. Texans owner Bob McNair told reporters, “We need to have reliable play at quarterback, we don’t need a superstar there, but it needs to be reliable play that won’t take anything away from us.”

Richard Janvrin of Bleacher Report has compiled a list of potential free agents that could offer some help, not only next season, but also over the next five years and the answer seems to be the former first round pick.

Several mock drafts have the franchise looking to add a quarterback with their pick in the first round, but the top prospects will likely be off the board at that time and unless they intend to trade into a top-10 spot, immediate help in unlikely.

Griffin is still young, but he’s also learned that football at this level is all business and taking care not to take chances, especially when running the football, is imperative if he wants to continue his career.

Despite 18 interceptions in the last 22 games he played for the Redskins, the young man still is very accurate, hitting on nearly 64 percent of his throws. Much of his failure came from being thrown straight to the wolves and with a poor offensive line, it was only a matter of time before his confidence dropped.

Sitting out last season with concussion issues and Kirk Cousins cementing the starting job could become a blessing. The hunger ton compete still burned bright and a change of scenery is necessary. With several NFL teams likely making a bid for the former Redskins signal caller, Houston could be the best fit for the Texans and Griffin as he looks to rebuild his once promising career.
