HOUSTON -- Houston Texans head coach Bill O’Brien said that while there is a good group of quarterbacks available in this year's NFL draft, he thinks it would be hard to have a rookie begin the season as the Texans’ starter.
“I think it’s tough to play quarterback as a rookie in our league,” O’Brien said Tuesday at the NFL owners meetings. “I think that’s a tough task. I think there’s no substitute for experience, so I think it’s hard to ask a guy to come in straight from college and Day 1 he’s a starter on your team.
