The Houston Texans have finally announced who the starting quarterback will be for Week 1.

The long Houston Texans nightmare is finally over, and to no surprise at all, the starting quarterback for the start of the 2021 season is Tyrod Taylor, who has been in the driver’s seat for this job basically since he signed with the Texans this offseason.

Taylor takes the spot vacated by ’20 Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was the NFL passing leader last season, but a lot has changed from the final game last season up to today’s decision announced by head coach David Culley.
