I think you have a greater tolerance level, that's all.
You're a lot more open and gracious than most, which has its pros and cons.
Bob McNair, IMO, is the greatest inhibitor right now. He's trying to find a way to create a legacy-type NFL franchise, but isn't finding the right mix.
I honestly think he believes the Kubiak-Phillips combination will do it for him. But I happen to think there's too strong of a McNair-Kubiak culture on the team to allow ultimate success to occur--Too much "steady as she goes, slow wins the race, we'll get 'em next time" mentality.
Sure, it makes for a stable environment and allows time for proper "growth" but I think it's been carried to an extreme. When you have a kicker's competition rather than just releasing the guy outright, WTH? It's a freaking KICKER. That, to me, is the ultimate giveaway that these guys are rooted in downhome loyalty-to-a-fault mindset about building a team. It's. A. Damn. Kicker. Hooray, Kris Brown is a great guy. Yeehaw, he was an original Texans member from our inception as a team. He shanked kicks AND an extra point, and essentially crawled off the field and hid under the bench with a towel over his head--Cut him, wish him well, move on. But nooooo...that was too "traumatic" and mean-spirited. See what I mean? It's hilarious, honestly. It really is. The extent that this team's leadership goes to, in order to preserve appearances and avoid what they think is poor P.R.
Maybe I'm just a stickler for efficiency, but this current direction we began 5 years ago is grating on my nerves. If it pays off, and this team blows up big and then holds form for a decade, then I was wrong and I'll admit it for 10 years every day on here. I just don't think it's gonna' happen, but am here to see if it does, and would love to be proven wrong (since it would mean SB titles).
