Houston Texans: The thing backup QB A.J. McCarron brings to the table

The Houston Texans have continued to meander through free agency filling some holes with the signings of Tashaun Gipson, Bradley Roby and Briean Boddy-Calhoun but the recent move of signing A.J. McCarron to the roster to a one-year, $3 million deal is one where they’ve actually made an improvement at the position.

You know it and I know it. The Houston Texans have needed to improve at the backup quarterback position for quite some time. I had wondered why the team was so dead-set at offering Brandon Weeden — who is 35-years-old now — the reins of being the primary backup called up when his traits are so different from Deshaun Watson‘s.
