Texans GM Rick Smith praises QB Brock Osweiler's play
Texans general manager Rick Smith doesn't have buyer's remorse about the hefty investment the AFC South club made to acquire quarterback Brock Osweiler as a free agent.
Signed in March to a four-year, $72 million contract that included $37 million guaranteed, Osweiler has thrown six interceptions through four games. He's won three of his four starts and is now 8-3 in his career, including his 5-2 mark last season with the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos.
Osweiler has completed 61.6 percent of his throws for 949 yards, five touchdowns and has a 74.8 passer rating, ranking him 38th in the NFL.
Despite the rocky start, Smith is encouraged about the outlook for Osweiler going forward.
