Texans poised for better head coach-QB relationships in 2017

HOUSTON -- After a tumultuous year with Brock Osweiler, it appears Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien will have a better relationship with his quarterbacks in 2017.

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, during Deshaun Watson’s visit with the Texans before the NFL draft, he looked O’Brien in the eye and said he knows the most important piece to a championship team is the relationship between the quarterback and head coach.
