With the entire NFL waiting to see where Baker Mayfield lands, we discuss the Houston Texans need for more competition in their QB room, and debate whether Mayfield would be a good addition for the Texans. Houston just added another QB to the roster in Kevin Hogan, which doesn't have us excited about the team's depth at the position. The Texans have been a hot name for QBs this week, with Robert Griffin III also talking about Houston being a team he would be comfortable playing for.
In an interview with Rich Eisen,
Robert Griffin III lists the #Falcons as a team who he would be comfortable playing for along with the #Bears, #Cowboys and #Texans.

Peyton Manning had some very interesting comments recently about CJ Stroud's perceived sophomore slump last season. Much of the skepticism, Manning believes, comes from surface-level narratives. The Texans went 10-7 in the regular season last year, a step back from the lofty expectations set after C.J. Stroud’s electric rookie year and Houston’s dramatic playoff push.
And while the offense didn’t maintain its early-season explosion under Bobby Slowik, people seem to be overlooking how that same Texans team ended the year: as one of the last four teams standing in the AFC — alongside the Chiefs, Bills, and Ravens.
Stroud has now won a playoff game in his first two seasons, while Manning didn't win his first playoff game until year six of his career.
With a new OC in house, and DeMeco Ryans leading the way, Manning likes what he's seeing from Stroud and the Texans moving forward.
It’s pretty cool watching Stroud take in praise from one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Manning gets it, and before long, the rest of the league and media will too.
Check out the video below to see the full conversation!
Peyton Manning on CJ Stroud at @FanaticsFest:
“He went to the playoffs in his 2nd year. He was 22. Let’s be careful saying it was a down year. I didn’t win a playoff game ‘til my SIXTH year. He’s 2 for 2.” pic.twitter.com/dtd9dU5Nj1
