I for one hope trading Watson is the nuclear option. I just hate the thought of moving a sure thing very good young QB especially after so many years of QBswe’ve suffered through. Then again teams have won titles with good QBs and great teams built around them
Yep, I agree. I just don't think I can muster up much "
give a ****" if this franchise has to start sorting through the riff/raff of QBs to even find a somewhat competent one. Especially while watching Watson tear it up with another team.
Good franchises figure this crap out without harming themselves. I've reached a point of realizing there is not much good - at all - with the Texans front office/ownership.
Of course he did, this is just an uncomfortable reality some dont want to face.
Time to purge this org totally and start over anew.
Feeling like it's almost time to purge this city and start over anew.
It won't be much longer before the McNairs start groveling for more public money after the stadium is two decades old.
I wonder what Easterby could’ve done to piss off the status quo up on Kirby.
Dude hasn’t said 1 word this entire time....in fact he doesn’t even attend press conferences that I’ve seen. That doesn’t strike me as someone trying to accumulate power; those types of folks crave the spotlight. He only strikes me as a tattletale. something tells me that a lot of what folks are after him about has to do with Brian Gaine and Palcic b/c that’s when all this crap about him started, albeit it hadn’t come to a fever pitch like it has now.
what are the chances that Easterby “uncovered” some real controversial **** in the FO of the Texans and he told Cal?
The Easterby paradox intrigues me. I have no other information beyond what we all know, but a few things about him makes me very skeptical and sets of my con-man spidey senses (a learned instinct after getting shafted by people in business for decades):
He's a "high character" person that lies on his resume.
He's just a "character coach" that hires an agent that represents front office executives (mainly head coaches and GMs). I've read that he's the
only character coach in the NFL with an agent.
His constant message of "culture", which primarily revolves around morality issues and not a culture of winning/competitiveness/meritrocracy/etc (which is the norm for most other pro sports teams). Why such a demand of morality culture? I can only assume that it is important to image, a key factor in marketing.
I don't understand why a national media has created so much smoke if there's not at least a little fire there. I don't buy the "liberal conspiracy theories". They lack logic and reason and motive.
Based on the above, I would never hire such a person as a business owner. Too many red flags.
This is just general conversation stuff, nothing worth arguing about even in disagreement. None of us know the truth.
It's a curious situation.
Is it possible that this is all been created, driven, and manipulated by the media?
Houston sports has always been the red headed step child. (No offense to step children or gingers.)
I think the NFL and national media would rather see Watson “take his talents to South Beach” than stay here. They saw an opportunity to create controversy and have taken the opportunity to keep throwing gas on the fire with no sources whatsoever.
I would not doubt that the media is fanning a lot of this stuff. The national media has never really cared much about Houston for whatever reason(s), and this story just keeps on giving since there seems to be nobody with any real sense of insight coming out to set the record straight.
Cal and Nick did nothing to slow the roll at their press conferences and interviews. They were very ambiguous and shifty in their replies about the Easterby situation.
Probably b/c he knows Easterby isn’t nearly the threat media types and others think he is.
He's probably not a direct threat to Caserio. Other potential GM candidates probably read the SI and PFT stuff and it causes some concern about possible power struggles, especially knowing what has already happened on Kirby Drive in the past.
Personally, I hope Caserio sits Easterby's butt down and forces him back into the role he had with NE. That would tell Nick if Easterby is power hungry or not. Jack is not qualified for the positions of power that the media has been reporting about him. I'm not sure who or what to believe at this point. So I'll just be a passenger and wait for the destination.
