Ryan Mallett vs. Brian Hoyer
Probably the most compelling quarterback battle of the entire preseason is between Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett of the Houston Texans. Why? The simple reason that whoever wins takes over a team that is expected by several media sources to be playoff caliber. They have defense led by J.J. Watt. They have a running game even without Arian Foster and DeAndre Hopkins is emerging as a legitimate #1 receiver.
Quarterback has been the position holding this roster back. Hoyer and Mallett know this may be their last great chance to start in the NFL and must seize it.
