Portals ranked second on the club's all-time list in those categories as a budding star in the league today Trevor Lawrence seems poised to bring the Jags back to their winning ways of the late 90s the young stud LED Jacksonville on a furious 27-point comeback win in the 2022 Wild Card round number 31 the Houston Texans the Texans have only been around since 2002 but there's little doubt that DeSean Watson has been the most talented quarterback in franchise history Watson LED Houston to back-to-back division titles earning a playoff win in 2019. Lawson pressure off the edge Watson survives it five six down but not the 40. inside the 30. inside the 20 to the 10-yard line Taiwan Jones Watson led the NFL in passing in 2020 and is one of only four players to have multiple Seasons with 25 touchdowns through the air and five more on the ground he's second in passing yards and touchdowns in franchise history in just four years as a Texan Matt Schaub can be considered Houston's most prolific passer of all time he led the league with over 4 700 passing yards in 2009 the two-time pro bowler LED Houston to its first two division titles in 2011 and 2012. shab through for a mind-boggling 527 yards in week 11 of the 2012 season tied for the second most ever in a single game shot in the gun throws it right side wide receiver screen rock and roll the Texans win it the Texans first ever draft pick was their first ever quarterback Fresno State Legend David Carr unfortunately Carr never got off the ground in Houston he was sacked 249 times from 2002 to 2006 by far the most of any NFL QB in that stretch Carr went just 22 and 53 as a starter in Five Seasons with the Texans 30 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa hasn't been blessed with top quarterback Talent outside Tom Brady the goat ranks second on the Bucks all-time passing TD list despite only playing three seasons in Tampa of course wherever tb12 goes success usually follows as he gave the Bucks their second Lombardi with an MVP performance in Super Bowl 55. third option Super Bowl and Tom Brady just does his thing how about that his seventh ring but before Brady there was Jamis for every positive the former number one overall pick had there were just as many negatives in 2019 Winston became the only 30 30 Club member throwing 33 touchdowns and 30 picks snap to Winston dropping straight back Dion Jones and the ball game is over and Jameis Winston throws his 30th interception Winston is the franchise's all-time leader in passing yards and he played just five years with the Bucks preceding Winston was Tampa Bay's first QB to win a Super Bowl journeyman Brad Johnson when you get in this situation and it's going to be the best time of your life you really want to make a memory I think that's what Brad Johnson is doing but 2002 was the peak of Johnson's tenure with the bucks he won just seven of his next 20 starts 2009 first round pick Josh Freeman showed promise early becoming the first bucks QB to throw for 4 000 yards in a season in 2012 but his time Ended as quickly as it started Trent Dilfer spent six seasons with the Bucks and led Tampa to two playoff appearances Vinnie Testaverde didn't enjoy much success in Tampa over a six years there but he still ranks second all-time in franchise history for passing yards and although he was remembered more for his time in Washington Doug Williams was initially a Buccaneer he helped the Bucks secure their first playoff win and Conference Championship birth in 1979 nine number 29 the Arizona Cardinals did you know Jim Hart retired with the third most passing yards in NFL history he's also the guy who ended the Cardinals 26-year playoff drought in 1974.
