Texans' Bill O'Brien to Deshaun Watson: 'Get better every single day'

HOUSTON -- Since the Houston Texans traded Brock Osweiler in mid-March, head coach Bill O’Brien’s message has been the same: Tom Savage is his starting quarterback.

That didn't change, even after the Texans traded two first-round picks to move up and draft Deshaun Watson. That night, O’Brien and general manager Rick Smith said Savage is the starter, and Watson would have to earn the job.
