Yet your version of realistic also requires the Texans to see into the future.
How so?

Well for example they apparently should have seen into the future to know that Philly was going to jump for Dillard. And it would have been seeing into the future as even the people that follow Philly never saw that one coming.
That only requires being proactive. Even Rick Smith was able to do it

@Kdog Here you go bro, they have this at Kirby and already know how this will play out

Mr McNair? $$$$ is that you? $$$$
You'd rather have cheap players instead of competent players? $$$$
You do know you'd make more $$$$ by winning more games right?
That's exactly what I've been saying going on three years. No one's listening.
That's why I'm rooting for BO'b to win the Super Bowl. I wouldn't want to have a green GM under those circumstances.
Steelb is that you?
The Tunsil move was a win now move. Although the clowney was not
I didn't like it. Looked stupid to me. But O'Brien wanted Clowney gone something bad. He didn't care to get any real compensation. Wanted him gone. Didn't care how stupid he looked. Wanted him gone.
& now he's gone.
You know this will affect the locker room. I think I know how, very badly. But I may be very, very wrong. Maybe somehow this will help him. I don't know how. I don't understand how he could think it would help.
Somehow, I bet this makes the team better. I don't believe it does. I can't see how it does. But there's no way BO'b can be as dumb as it looks.
I know he made a point to say that bark and Martin are versatile and practice hard

Its hard to define horrific when it comes to entertainment but your mental state is accurate reflection of how many must feel because that's exactly what these moves were, horrific applications of football assets. There can be no recovery only time will heal these wounds, if we survive them. Not even 20 years of existence and McNair's have overseen three distinct entities, The Capers/Casserly era, The Kubiak/Rick Smith era, and now The Bill O'Brian era. Each just as unsatisfying as the next, but O'Brian has by far the best mix of talent yet the most bizarre approach to assembling and implementing it by a long shot. He must be crazy like a fox. Ok where is my Butt-Chin Emoji?

BO'b was going to trade Clowney come hell or high water! How dare Clowney hold out as long as he did! BO'b just knew there was no way Clowney would not play nice and he would come to his senses before seasons start. Come training camp it should have been apparent that the sides were way too far apart and Clowey should have been traded for maximum value. To add insult to injury the Texans are on the hook for part of Clowney's pay this season. That is flat out messed up.

Lets hope we win a Superbowl this season because going forward it appears there will be a lot of suffering for us fans.
O'Brian is almost a schizophrenic when it comes to dealing with players. Some it seems he can't wait to get shed of (Clowny, Brooks). Others he keeps around forever (Blue, Savage). And I'm dam*** if I can see a pattern. It certainly doesn't seem to be about talent.

Not to mention what happened with Andre, and leaving JJ and Arian and Ryan Mallett in with injuries, and butt-buddying for Savage, Hoyer, Mallett, and various other losers.
Worthless.

Bill O’Brien signals he will call plays against the Saints
The Houston Texans will take on the New Orleans Saints and even with a new offensive coordinator, Bill O’Brien will be calling the plays. What’s going on?
Here were go Houston Texans fans — it’s T-minus one day before it’s time for our team to conquer the 2019 season. We all hope that this season is filled with success but they have a much tougher schedule this season, starting with battling against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in their house tomorrow night.
Right off the bat, the Houston Texans will be featured on prime time and I’m positive that this team won’t disappoint. With Deshaun Watson under center and in front of a national stage, there’s no telling what he’s going to be able to do. We just need to sit back, relax and enjoy what we’re about to see because it’s going to be damn exciting!

God I hate this turd. I knew he wasn’t giving up play calling. More bland boring conservative play calling with slow developing pass plays and unimaginative run plays. It’s going to be another ugly season.
Really, this surprises you? Did you really think he was going to turn over play calling to that kid in the most important season of his career? If so then that was kind of dumb on your part.
why did he make the kid offensive coordinator?
maverick512000

Two reasons, one to shut up people telling him to hire an OC and two to help give a kid he is mentoring a break and pad his resume. I’ve talked about this before and said I don’t like or agree with it.
Rich Schmidt
Myopicone
if Kelly cannot call a game, you hired the wrong guy.
The game he called in preseason looked pretty good
maverick512000
Hall of Fame
They didn’t hire him to call plays they hired him to assist with the defense then moved him over for the reasons stated above. But yes they “hired” the wrong guy to be OC because BoB never intended anyone else to call plays.
It doesn’t surprise me hence why I said it knew he wouldn’t give up the play calling. He’s a pathetic predictable narcissist and I can’t wait till he’s gone.
And yes I would rather the “kid” call plays than buttchin.

I guess he doesn't trust anybody to do what he wants them to do. Lol
So another example of OB putting his personal desires over what’s best for the team. OB fans need to wake up.

I’m not too upset as this may be a blessing in disguise. If he’s the OC, HC, and GM, there’s no more scapegoats for him. It’s all on him now.

That is my hope but every time this turd fails he ends up with more power. I have a horrible feeling that even if he gets completely out coached and the team looks completely unprepared in the first round of the playoffs AGAIN, just getting there will be enough for McNair to justify keeping him another year.

I’m just curious but who on here do you actually consider an OB fan. There are things he’s done some of us like and there are things that happened that some don’t blame him for but I haven’t see anyone I would call a fan per say. But the the definition of fan seems to be odd around here at times.
It will just be proof that we need caserio in here and start the rebuild over.
Mangler
Toro de España
I hope Caserio comes here, and brings the o-line coach with him! O’Brien already admitted he and Devlin can’t find or develop offensive linemen. No more excuses!
And when that doesn't work and they're in cap hell, say goodbye to Olsen
I don't think the guys on Kirby know what the guys on Kirby are doin ….
I'm not at all upset about the actual trade , even if they paid a premium but damn they exposed themselves to massive risk by not negotiating an extension as part of the trade.

Colts are without Luck.
Jags are without Foles for 2-3 months.
So, even though both looked decent with their backups and Minshew may actually prove to be better than average.. in reality, two out of three (four) bubbles in our little tub have essentially burst so, all the Texans have to do is beat the Titties for yet another playoff birth, which makes OB1 a success again???
OB1 couldn't have asked for better odds considering.. which should actually place a brighter 'fire me light' on him if he does fail.
I've been hoping for him to succeed just so 'we' can succeed as a whole but this year should prove validity one way or the other.
No excuses.

I think they prefer “apologists.”
Am I a fan of O'Brian? Hell no. But I'm between a rock and a hard place. I wish he was gone but I'm not willing to pull for my team to lose to get that wish.
So I try to convince myself that somehow all these moves make sense. That we really aren't the cluster**** we seem to be. That there really is a plan.
So in all honesty I hope we do good enough that O'Brian gets coach of the year. Even though I would probably puke if he did.

Bingo, I feel the same. Would I prefer a better coach than BoB, hell yeah, I don’t think he will ever be the coach that Houston needs. I think he could be an decent coach if he had a strong owner and GM holding the leash and telling him his job is to coach and win games and that’s it.
Trouble is like you I can’t not root for the Texans and not hope they win every game. Likewise I try to make logical sense of some of their moves and see the big picture. I’ve honestly never seen so many fans that actually seem to want their team to lose just because they want the HC gone.
