Wish I could agree, Joe, but I think O-line has to see some new faces. This new regime does deserve the benefit of the doubt until their product proves, on the field, that the Texans aren't moving forward. For example, In a rare moment of agreement with John McClain, I noticed that this week he outlined just how many great QBs Kubiak and Sherman have been around during the past couple of decades. If they think Carr can be made into a winner, then I think we should give them a shot.
BUT....even though I think a top-overall-pick young QB can (and will) improve with new mentoring, there ain't no blood coming out of this O-line turnip. Some of these linemen simply stink and need to be replaced. The "time to gel" argument is dead to me now, after 2 years of mostly stable personnel and stable scheme got Houston nothing more than pitiful performance and a pinata at QB. Considering the dollars poured into the O-line, the return on the investment is terrible.
This isn't to say that I wanted Bentley here or any cap-buster like that. If the fit isn't there cap-wise or personality-wise, they shouldn't force it. I just pray that something will get done in the draft or in camp to show that the O-line's faces, not just their coaches, will change.
Coreyvice> Top-flight FAs are signing in Arizona and (almost every day, it seems) Cleveland. Not exactly top teams with winning traditions. But you're still right when you say that it's a big selling point for a FA to come to a winner rather than a loser.
