John Schneider must be livid.

Good for him!

New quarterback methinks.

Not a huge surprise. The Texans are almost certainly playoff bound and down to their 4th QB of the Season. They need a body with decent QB experience.

I wonder if they had a chance to retain him. If not, then I can see why Pete and John would be livid.

No way they were going to keep four TEs on the roster indefinitely. B.J. has a lot more value.

Wont happen, but what if. Texans with BJ playing against Seahawks with Russ in SF50. Wow. I think he will end up a Texan for the next few years at least.

As many times as we've cut him, Pete and John can't get too upset.

I wish him well in Houston. They're a pretty likeable team.

Yes, Houston is my 2nd fav. team and maybe they can get him in the offense. P & J screwed the pooch on B.J. I believe.

He will be back, released and put on the practice squad again. It is destiny.

BJ has had such a yoyo experience with the Seahawks. Hope he has a breakout career with the Texans or wherever he ends up.

I've liked Daniels a ton going back to his college days, but I think his value at receiver was practice squad caliber, and there are QBs in this draft that could probably be a better backup QB if needed.

I pray that this doesn't mean another year of Tarvaris Jackson as the backup QB. I want to have some semblance of hope if Russell goes down and Tarvaris offers less than zero hope.

They'll draft somebody. Spread option quarterbacks are easily found these days like running backs. Just have good receivers with an elite quarterback and you're in any game and have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. Exhibit A would be the 2015 Seahawks.

If you have an average running quarterback with the above they can win half the time like exhibit B Johnny Football or far worse. It's good enough.

Why would the Texans do this when this guy is available? http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-fo ... YHR6f8d662

BJ as a QB has "escapability" which IMHO you need behind this line, if T-Jack has to play QB for any period of time he's going to get squashed behind this o-line. Not thrilled about this, but it's a gamble you take when you choose to play roster roulette.

Man it doesn't look like life has done him any favors.

Or the more likely and factual answer....the Texans are desperate for a healthy body that can actually fake being a quarterback in a pinch like Trent Dilfer. It worked for Baltimore right?

Have you seen the Texan QB situation? They were reduced to playing Weeden as your QB (who was CUT from Dallas for bad QB play). This is the same Texan team in the thick of a playoff hunt and in DIRE need for healthy bodies that at least can fake it as a QB (the Texans are down to their FOURTH QB this season).

Under the circumstances, BJ Daniels is (arguably) an upgrade.

Why is this so bad?If BJ was so valuable they wouldn't have left him on the PS.A lesson to be learned here for sure.I hope they fix this backup thing in the draft.I get so tired of hearing BJ on/off PS the guy hasn't done anything for the Hawks in real time.

I get what you're saying, but not sure how you can be livid about losing a player you've cut 5 times this year.
