McNair said stop screwing around & get a QB.
He probably preferred we draft a QB. If you remember it was that off-season O'b said, "McNair's the boss, I do what he says." When asked about the possibility of drafting a QB. He didn't seem to be on board with that idea at all. Rick told those reporter's while McNair said to get a QB, the draft wasn't the only possibility.
In that same interview Rick said we're going to look at all the options, not just the draft. That McNair doesn't box them in.
They (Rick & O'Brien chose Osweiller) McNair wanted them to draft a QB in a weaker draft than 2017's. They found Osweiler, it didn't work.
At most McNair may have demanded they get a deal done by day 1 of free agency... preventing O'Brien from spending time with Osweiler. But to think McNair said, "I like that Osweiler kid. Make it happen Rick, suck it up Bill!"
I can't see that.
For O'b to be saying he never wanted Brock & wanted to go with Savage, then even after already giving up our 2018 2nd round pick to get rid of Osweiller we trade our 2018 1st to move up & get another QB... it doesn't make sense.
