Cam Newton Touted As Replacement QB at Houston Texans After Rookie Struggles

Houston Texans had a night to forget in their 3rd match against the Carolina Panthers. The Houston based side succumbed to an embarrassing 24-9 loss against the Panthers. The biggest problem for the Texans stemmed from their poor ability to keep the ball moving.

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills’ poor ball playing abilities have been under the scanner in the past few weeks. Following the third consecutive poor performance by the quarterback, fans and pundits have lost patience with the rookie and are clamoring for a replacement.

Houston Texans fans suggest veteran as an able replacement to their struggling rookie QB

Houston Texans’ quarterback situation has been very dire. They lost their starter, Tyrod Taylor, earlier in the season with an injury. With him being out for an extended period and Deshaun Watson having potentially played his last game for the franchise, Davis Mills received the nod to start for the Texans.

Davis Mills’ forced entry into the team was certainly hard for the youngster. So far, the youngster has completely looked out of sorts with his poor ball playing abilities being completely exposed. This has led to fans and critics clamoring for a replacement. The front runner as the replacement is free agent Cam Newton.

Will Cam Newton join Houston Texans?

While there has been no credible news from Newton’s side about joining the Texans, it makes complete sense for the Texans to make a move for him. While it is true that the 32-year-old is past his prime, one must also understand that in the current market, there is also no one better than the former New England Patriots player.

Apart from a sporting benefit, Cam Newton is also a very popular name in the NFL. He will also provide a much-needed boost for Houston Texans in terms of popularity and help bring more people into the stadium. So yes, the Texans should try their best to recruit Newton before sinking further.
