You don’t need to.
Fact, they were in similar situations to the Texans when the 2021 league year started.
Fact, they are in similar situations to the Texans now.
The point, it’s too early to expect any different from what we got right now. That doesn’t mean Culley & Caserio are doing a good job. Doesn’t mean they are doing a bad job.
This is what we expected, why are we complaining. That’s my point. & no, I don’t mean you are complaining, I’m talking to the guy I first responded to
The thing is when I asked you to clarify about the GM and the HC, and you gave me a hypothetical good GM, my answer was that this team would look better.
That good GM would be able to hire a more qualified HC.
I expect that GM to carry another veteran QB like Dalton, Brissett, or Flacco and not drafting a 3rd project at QB.
Wouldn't you agree that the Texans would have looked better with any one of them instead of Mills?
And like I had mentioned, let's assume that the GM had signed some other OLs other than Britt / Cannon, whom I had said that it has a good chance to end up as a case of availability.
(The list of candidates was mentioned in the threads on Cannon and Britt.
That, too, could help the Texans look better than the current squad.
And like I said, they could have drafted a guy like Jalen Mayfield, who has now played nearly twice the number of snaps as Scharping.
After a couple of weeks needed to make the transition from tackle to LG, he's been doing better than any guy the Texans trotted out there. (He's the type of guy with a mean streak that will play until the whistle blow; not just a mauler as he has good feet and mobility for a guard.)
All those things were doable.
It you also add a couple of gems that I had mentioned, this team would look a whole lot better.
