Texas Tech. Patrick Mahomes. 25. player. 10. The Houston Texans will go very far in the AFC playoffs once they get themselves a decent QB. I believe Tony Romo will be the one that goes there as soon as Jerry Jones stops playing. But Romo is 37 and his body has been through a ton of injuries throughout his career. <p>So it’s safe to say that Romo doesn’t have much of a future ahead of him in the NFL. The Texans are stacked now so this is a good time to start investing in the future of the franchise. That’s why they haven’t been very active in free agency and won’t be until Romo gets there.</p> <p>Patrick Mahome, from right down the street at Texas Tech, is the guy they should bring in for their future.He’s a gunslinger with all kinds of arm talent, good size, athleticism, everything you want in a QB. Mahomes just needs to improve his consistency if he is to make it as an NFL QB.</p> <p>With Romo there, the Texans would have enough QBs to allow Mahomes to sit at least on year. If Romo can stay healthy with the Texans, they have a Super Bowl in them within the next couple of years. Then when Romo retires, Mahomes will be ready to carry the Texans on.</p>. QB
