The Houston Texans cut Ryan Mallett back in October after a litany of immature decisions by the quarterback. The reasons Houston cut him were always met with an awful excuse from Mallett, because obviously never meeting his potential is clearly everyone else’s fault.
During the preseason Mallett was in a competition to become the starting quarterback with Brian Hoyer, who eventually won the job. Mallett reacted as only he could, by missing the next practice due to sleeping in.
The team was featured on the HBO series ‘Hard Knocks,’ so everyone got a good look at Mallett try and talk his way out of the blame with general manager Rick Smith.
