October 6, 20205 yr JJ maybe trying to passive aggressive his way out of town? He’s a Houston legend and should be, but I’d love to see finish his career on a team that can compete. Even if it means only a 3rd or 4th round pick, they should send him somewhere he has a real chance at winning.

We need the picks and he ain't going to get far in the playoffs with this roster, even with a new coaching staff. He only has a couple of years left.

Yep, trade JJ for has many picks as you can get, probably going to have to take a shitty contract to make the monies match. Of course, you need a GM to be able to do that, and you don't have one, because you stupidly ceded that power to a moron. Then acted all surprised when said moron blew up your franchise.

The poor sap that takes this gig is going to suck balls for a few years, and hopefully sets the table for the NEXT guy to take that step. This franchise is such a mess. Minimal talent, no depth, no 1st or 2nd round picks the next 2 years, no tradeable assets. It's going to get worse before it gets better. They have all their picks in 2022
October 6, 20205 yr Author I would join in on trade/draft pick talk but if we can hire a competent GM that should work itself out. We really haven’t had a top-level GM since the franchise coined, you figure at some point the math says it’ll probably happen.
October 6, 20205 yr Author Fortunately, with Deshawn, we don’t ever necessarily need to ‘rebuild’. We should be good with him and someone who actually knows how to use him, and improving as we go from a personnel look.
October 6, 20205 yr Someone remind me again why Brian Gaine was ousted? Buffalo had no problem picking his body up off the pavement and putting him to work with Brandon Beane.

Look how quickly his current and past players came to his defense about his response to the social issues that boiled over this summer.

It's easier to find a guy like Tunsil in the draft It’s even easier to find them already on your roster. It doesn’t top the Hopkins fuckup, and it was probably Rick Smith, but looking back the failure to pony up the same $11/year extension Seattle gave Duane Brown in 2017 was crippling. If they make that move then they’re solid at LT, and hang on to 1st rounders in 2021 and 2022 and a second in 2022. Almost as bad as the decision to throw a bunch of cash at Cock Asswiper in 2016; the pick we gave the Browns to take his salary off the books turned into Nick Chubb....

It sucks watching Brown block his way to a possible HOF career for Seattle. He should have been a Texan for life.
October 6, 20205 yr Brown demanded to be traded after the "inmates run the prison" idiocy from McNair. He wasn't going to re-sign with the team.
October 6, 20205 yr Lost the political battle with BoB? (Non-Texans fan reply, full disclosure)This was my understanding as wellDuane brown was sent packing by old man McNair after he spoke up right?
October 6, 20205 yr Duane Brown had already been holding out since the end of the 2016 season, skipping OTAs, training camp, and the first 9 games of the season before McNair made his remarks....
October 6, 20205 yr Duane Brown’s holdout/trade demand and opposition to McNair were kind of chicken and the egg. He wanted a new contract and management said no. When McNair dropped that stupid comment Brown felt free/obliged to make his feelings known. The earth was salted. If Houston picks up most of JJ’s salary before the trade deadline, I wonder if a contender would give a 2nd rounder for him. They need draft capital bad.

October 7, 20205 yr I have no confidence we will hire the right guy, I'm not sure why anyone here would either. We are talking about the higher ups that gave BoB all the power to fuck up the franchise and yea bravo you fired him when everyone has been saying it but they leave little to no optimism that they will even come close to making the right hire. At this point i feel whoever the obvious top 3 candidates are we will go completely the opposite direction and hire a head scratcher.

This easter bunny probably knows way more about football and coaching in the NFL that Cal does.

Fuck BoB! https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/10/07/j-j-watt-wont-talk-about-bill-obrien-says-romeo-crennel-brings-fresh-start/ So imbedded in that article is a link to another one...which details abusive BoBs ways...Glad JJ pulled rank. BoB is a real POS.

I is pretty clear that the McNair family really want to just delegate this "investment" of theirs to anyone that gives them warm fuzzies and drips honey into their ear. This franchise man...what a fucking debacle.

October 8, 20205 yr Easterby = Easterbunny, I heard it once and now its stuck in my head, like a bad song. And yes, I think the McNairs just want someone to make decisions for them as they sit on the sidelines and collect the money.
October 8, 20205 yr through a mutual associate i was granted exclusive access to Coach O'Brien. He did not want to go through the local media but he did have some parting words for his critics, the team, and Texans fans in general Enjoy Spoiler
