The Houston Chronicle reports Texans QB Dan Orlovsky hopes to remain on the bench as the backup rather than being forced into starting, which would mean Matt Schaub got hurt. "I learned quickly that the best thing for a quarterback, no matter if you're first, second or third, is stability," Orlovsky said. "I have complete confidence Matt is going to have a good year. That's...

Desmond Conner of The Hartford Courant recently profiled ex-Lion QB Dan Orlovsky. In the article, Orlovsky talked about one of the more memorable moments of the 2008 season - when he ran out of the back of the end zone against the Vikings to take a safety. Here are a few of the quotes he had to say about the incident:"That wasn't the impression I was looking to make," Orlovsky...

BFD just posted a great piece contrasting backup QB's Dan Orlovsky and Rex Grossman , but in it he made quite the bold statement: "It’s also why the Orlovsky signing is, so far, my favorite off-season move (including the draft)." Wow. I wasn't crazy about the Orlovsky signing because of the amount of money they gave him until I heard him talk a bit. As BFD points...

The Texans are trying to sign Rex Grossman . No. Really. I shit you not. With Brokeback Schaub, Rex "The Mess" Grossman, and Dan "0-16" Orlovsky on the roster, there hasn't been a more miserable group taking snaps since Stevie Wonder picked up the Kannon AE-1 . Why did we build a stadium for these incompetent fuckfaces?

Grossman being cleared to get the No. 3 job doesn't mean he all of the sudden has Fantasy value. Continue to ignore him in all leagues as long as Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky are on the roster.

Your Houston Texans agreed to terms with QB Rex Grossman on a one-year, $620,000 contract. We're guessing that Rex isn't being brought in to compete with Dan Orlovsky , who the Texans will pay about $3M this year. Grossman, 29, holds an awful career completion rate of 54.2 and a weak 6.4 career YPA. Most likely, he will push Alex Brink to be another insurance policy behind starter Matt Schaub...

... day to receive more threats than Steve Bartman. I don’t see Rex making the team, I believe Dan Orlovsky and Craig Nall we’ll be Schaubs backups. Texans backups are all similar, but the nod would go to Orlovsky and Nall just based on their height alone, both guys are 2 to 4 inches taller than Grossman who’s only 6ft 1 and leads the world in batted balls. Well Chicago, hopefully we’ve...
