DeAndre Hopkins Thinks That Brock Osweiler Is "Doing The Best He Can"

DeAndre Hopkins on Brock Osweiler: 'He's doing the best he can.'

Look, I am all for wide receivers going out of their way to defend their quarterback's failures. I just happen to think this is the worst defense of all time. Seriously, Terrell Owens responding to critics of Tony Romo by sitting at a podium with crocodile tears running out from from underneath his sunglasses is basically an impenetrable shield by comparison. I know it's matter of context, but DeAndre Hopkins using the word "best" in reference to a ZERO point effort against a 3rd string quarterback? Probably not the greatest association. Maybe, just maybe, he should have literally went with any other cliche. What's wrong with "we're all working to get better"? Was "he's still getting  comfortable with the system" taken? There's approximately hundred different ways to say that you are still developing chemistry with your quarterback, and Brock's Osweiler's most reliable target went with something that roughly translates to "nah, that's just what you can expect". I'm sure that will make Texans fans feel a lot better about that 72 million dollar investment. Don't worry guys, he's trying his hardest...just like the kid that used to strike out in tee-ball.

What offensive struggles? Houston is running on all cylinders! Improvement? Impossible. Progress? Halted. Potential? Reached. Brock Osweiler is what he is and that's a guy that can win you football games...as long as the opposition is only putting up 14-16 points. Sadly, that's probably not all that untrue, but you still don't want to hear it from the dude that could put 21 points himself with a halfway decent talent throwing him the ball.
