One of the most important tasks for DeMeco Ryans as he prepares to take the Texans in a new direction is figuring out what to do at the quarterback position.
It’s the biggest question this offseason after the Texans struggled to get any passing game going in 2022. The Texans’ three quarterbacks — Davis Mills, Kyle Allen and Jeff Driskel — combined to throw 20 touchdowns and 19 interceptions and also lost five fumbles as Houston ranked 31st out of 32 teams in passing offense.
When asked how important the position is, Ryans said the Texans have to add more to the quarterback room, but the new head coach added a caveat. There’s a lot to unpack from Ryans’ answer. But what he’s essentially saying is the Texans have to build around the quarterback for him to be successful. And that supplemental pieces are crucial, especially if the quarterback gets injured. That was the case for the 49ers as they went through three quarterbacks throughout the season and were still able to make it to the NFC Championship Game.
Two quarterbacks who have gotten a lot of attention and will continue to be a focus this offseason are Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo. The Raiders and 49ers have made it clear they are moving away from them. And both are starters in this league.Jimmy Garoppolo is expected get a contract in the $25-30 million per year range as a free agent and despite his connection to new Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, may not help Houston at QB in the long term.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear last week that he doesn't see any scenario in which Garoppolo would return.
