Tom Landry coached in an era before the current free agency....today teams can turn around in a couple of seasons....and most of them do outside of us, the Lions, Cardinals and Bengals it seems.
Bengals had 2-3 seasons of productive football under Lewis. But, his turn-around is tarnished due to situations and circumstances that have now led the team to a state of total regression (cancerous locker room, for one).
I've seen columns by writers who theorize the Lions ownership is the real problem with the organization. Could be.
Cardinals? On the field, they seem to be a pretty close reflection of the Texans.
I think our problem is two-fold: Ownership AND On-the-field chemistry.
At this stage, with what I am seeing from McNair, we're only going to get better if it's by a stroke of pure luck: Right people at the right time.
And we know how that works at the craps table in Vegas...you can shake the dice in your hand, have your girlfriend bless the dice, and do all the body language you want as the dice roll down the table...in the end, it don't matter.
That's how it is thus far. As much as people say Kubiak is learning on the job, I'd say the same of our owner. The Carr exten$ion was a lesson learned. I'm hoping the Kubiak experiment is a lesson learned, too.
Give this much to Bob: When he gives the rope to his players and coaches, he gives enough of it to...well, I won't say it. But it's true: Bob sticks with a decision and lets it play all the way out. I don't know if that's good or bad, in the end, but it's how he seems to prefer doing football business.
