Ok folks, usually I'm an optimist, especially when it comes to the NFL, where a team can make extreme improvements from one year to another. Change one, Gary Kub's..........Great Choice and the Texans finally get a coach with fire. Change two, releasing of dead weight players such as Coleman and Walker (In my opinion, both were just milking the contracts). Change Three.....Possibly Reggie Bush in a Texans Uniform.
But let's face it, without the final change, it looks and appears we may be facing the same situation next season. If we were to win more than 3 games next season, Kubiak should be voted NFL Coach and Man of the year. With relatively no changes made thus far in the offseason, except Kubiak doing the offseason interviews, rather than Capers, it looks like the same ol' Texans. I don't even have to wait for the draft and view our selections to understand we're in deep trouble. No #2 WR. No upgrade on the O-Line. No upgrade in he secondary. No upgrade on on the LB Corps. I'm not a genius, but it doesn't take one to see this cannot be accomplished through the draft, if that was the case, there would never be a FA signed.
2007 looks to be shaping up with the Texans slotted at #1 again, and who is available at WR, LB, or DE? Wait, or they trying to lose for Brady Quinn? Wouldn't be a bad choice! Keeping Carr allows them to show the public "we're committed to winning", but also allows them to lose without telling the public they are secretly rebuilding and imploding the team. Just come out and be honest, it was doomed from the start with Capers and Palmer and the entire thing needs corrected. Mark my words, by this time next season, the Texans will be without Carr and Andre Johnson, who will end up asking to be traded and end up with Culpepper in Miami. Word has it, he was frusttrated the past two seasons, with the team not opening up the offense and using him as a decoy for a 5-8, 220lb bowling ball running back, with a history of injury problems in the league (Actually, I love Dominic Davis, but he should not be the focus of the offense).
My last question, who is running things in the organization. I find it hard to believe a coach would come in and not start getting some pieces in play to win right away. Loosing Gaffney to the Eagels, "FOR a 1-Year"contract speaks volumes. How many guys leave a team for 1 year deals, when they can stay and be assured some guaranteed money (regardless of the amount, it's more than 1 year dollars). Gaffney basically says in my outside opinion, there is something wrong with the front office, Charley Casserly, and guys may not want to play here. I think another poster said it best, Givens & Hope used the Texans as leverage against other teams, knowing that McNair has deep pockets and could open the bank if need be, thus raising the cost with other teams. You make the choice, play for a team dedicated to winning or a team dedicated to loosing. Something is wrong there and I would love to know, because my season ticket money is being stolen from me! twocents:
