After just seven games into the 2016 season, Houston Texans fans are pretty much done with Brock Osweiler, and rightfully so. Back in March, the Texans signed Osweiler to a four-year, $72 million contract, even after playing like a serviceable quarterback, at best, in eight games with the Denver Broncos during the 2015 campaign. Since then, Brock has been absolutely terrible. How bad are we talking?
- He's 20th among qualified quarterbacks in passing yards with 1,533.
- His 58.2 completion percentage is 29th out of 32 qualified quarterbacks.
- He has thrown as many interceptions (8) as touchdowns.
So yeah, he has been atrocious. One Texans fan is doing all he can to get Brock out of town by starting a GoFundMe page to buy out his contract. "I am a die hard Texans fan and we need to get rid of Brock Osweiler or we're not going anywhere," Houston, Texas native Ali A-g wrote. "He is a waste of 72 million and for a dollar a day we can get him out and make Deandre Hopkins happy." After posting a career-high in receiving yards (1,521), catches (111), and touchdowns (11) last season, Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is on pace to have his worst season since his rookie campaign, and Osweiler is primarily to blame for the down year.
As of right now, the GoFundMe page has received a grand total of $190. You're not going to want to hear this, Texans fans, but Osweiler isn't going anywhere any time soon. Sorry.
