I find it kind of humorous.
And I doubt that anyone in that jam packed stadium tomorrow will have Beano on their minds.
He better hope the Saints don't decide to wake up against his man crush, else he'll be looking at 1-2 and starting to look for scapegoats.
Exactly. I am thinking the Saints will look much better at home actually.
And Bean's point demonstrates why it was probably better for the Texans in the long run not to get VY.
During last year's Texans game, I talked to a guy wearing a burnt orange #10 shirt. It was his first NFL game. He said that he usually parties on Saturdays and uses Sundays to recover from his hangover. But he was there to watch Vince. Those sorts of people would have been the additions to the fanbase.
I think it is better to have a fanbase who is not just fans because they like one guy on the team. Kubiak has made such a point of saying that the Texans are a team, and not about one guy. And though that concept isn't the way the Texans like to market, that's the concept you want your team to buy.
I know that VY says that he wants to be just another guy on the team, but especially in the context of the Texans, that would have been a hard thing to do. If people love a player, more than they love the team or the coach or whatever, then that player can do no wrong. With the number of Vince fans in this part of the world, his power would be great if the VY Texans were winning, but could be absolutely toxic if they didn't succeed. ("Let's find us a coach that can let Vince be Vince, etc")
And I am saying this as someone who wanted to draft Vince and a UT alum and someone who thinks he can have a good career in the NFL if Bud's organization doesn't mess it up. The relative power he would have had in the Texans organization was always one of my concerns of picking him.
