What Bill O'Brien seeks in QB competition

What is Bill O’Brien looking for in the team's competition at starting quarterback?

Though the Texans head coach joked that he really does like the completions, O'Brien will be evaluating more than just the end results.

“I really think it’s important for these guys to be able to operate the offense at a high tempo,” O’Brien said. “We have a lot of different types of tempo, but to be in and out of the huddle or when it’s no huddle, changing the pace of practice and handling that on their own. Being able to communicate the play, get people lined up, change the cadence, get us into the right play and then complete the pass.
