Is bringing back Ryan Fitzpatrick the answer at QB for Texans?

The Texans, once again, are looking for the answer at quarterback.

One NFL analyst is suggesting a retro approach for the franchise at football's most important position.

As part of an ESPN Insider piece (subscription required) suggesting one bold move for each NFL team, Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz and Scott Kacsmar threw out an option that might cause some Texans fans to wake up in a cold sweat.

Bring back Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Yes, the same Ryan Fitzpatrick who was basically given away to the Jets last year (for a conditional draft pick) after the Texans opted for a Brian Hoyer/Ryan Mallett competition that proved to be a debacle and led to a season-long merry-go-round at the position.
