Don't eat the yellow snow where the Huskies go.
If this organization doesn't get the GM/coach hire right, I'll be "moving to Montana soon - gonna be a dental floss tycoon".

DeleteFrank Zappa once said “Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
If the Texans continue to make the same mistakes over and over again - i.e. falling in love and hiring a HC before they get a GM - then I do not have much faith in this franchise to ever achieve greatness at any level.
Find the right GM. Let his vision - one that the owners agree with - lead the way in the hiring of the next HC.
Do NOT let the QB pick the coach. Do not let the public, or John McClain, or Jack Easterby, pick the coach.
For once, try it the way that the great organizations have done it. Get rid of the boardroom mentality, shed the consensus rule BS, and end the cycle of letting the HC pick his GM.
It's very simple: Owner > GM > HC > team
AJ McCarron would be QB until he could trade Watson (and a 1st) for Jimmy G..
Nah, Steel knows dead $ keeps Watson from a trade. That's why he keeps saying 4 more years.
The players aint never gonna "give up" , they play to win even if they are 0-15 playing against a 15-0 team , they are gonna try to win.
Now the front office ..... they can trade players and put guys on IR ... limiting how good the team can be.
I'm in favor of the latter only because of how bad this situation is.
They lack talent at a host of positions , have no premium draft picks and no cap space , maybe the worst cap situation in the league.
They gotta take those financial lumps now or later .... If you are gonna do it , do it now(<--Click me).
You know what makes that repeated and repeated, "4 more years" so irrelevant? Each and every time he makes that statement, he's saying the Texans have assembled a Super Bowl competing team and somehow failed miserably when they made Watson QB1. So, with Watson leading this NFL juggernaut.....he'll be the sole reason they won't be able to add a Lombardi Trophy to their case at Kirby during this short window. It's stale statement that takes nothing else into consideration.
Choices......a really bad 7-8 win team or a really bad 3-4 win team? At least the latter puts the team at a premium point in their draft to either obtain talent or possibly trade back and snatch additional picks. The Texans draft starts in RD3....so their new GM will have to be on his toes in finding any and all ways to optimize the teams picks and assets.
The draft can be optimized by trading players for draft picks. This isn't a 1 yr fix. But with the glut of good players that are going to hit the FA market this yr it would be wise to dump as much salary as possible so you can add 2 or 3 pieces in FA to help the defense and maybe even trade up into the 2nd to add another starter. The defense would look much better if say they added 2 FA LB's that can run and cover, plus say add a S in the draft. You should be able to find a starting S in the 2nd or 3rd rd that can play right away.
I'm gong to tell you how much better this team will be next season. Coaching is the big issue. However, they will be able to add and subtract players which will give way to the statement: " it is AMAZING how much GM "so and so" and HC "so and so" were able to transform the Texans in one offseason!"
Well, it’s going to be Watson’s fault they hire the wrong GM & HC.So, with Watson leading this NFL juggernaut.....he'll be the sole reason they won't be able to add a Lombardi Trophy to their case at Kirby during this short window. It's stale statement that takes nothing else into consideration.

If your going to take a shot at @steelbtexan dont hide between the lines.
Why do you always thinks dude need saving. Lol Thunder was joking.
Literally taking things to serious.
Saving? See his every interaction with posters.
Let him fight his own battles. Battles in which he pretty much started.
No.
Even if I disagree with him he says what he thinks. I respect that, and he's not always wrong.
It fuels conversation and that's good for the site.
Everyone says what they thinks around here.
Conversation will get started regardless.

Oh, it's relevant. His contract will be the albatross that will make the Texans org unable to put sufficient talent around DW4 to win a championship even if you thought he was good enough to bring a Lombardi to Kirby, which I dont think he is even if his contract wasn't so toxic. This is going to be a case of history repeating itself, particularly if DW4 gets to start having input on who the McNair's hire and whether guys can be traded or not. When all of this fails in another 4 yrs is when the true housecleaning can truly begin. I already kind of feel sorry for the next GM/HC. The only thing that can change this direction unfortunately is the McNair's selling the team and I dont see that happening in the next 4 yrs.
@Texansballer74 we have no beef. I like you. But I'm going to say whatever the f I believe. I expect @steelbtexan will do the same.
He's just doing his best to try to silence me because he doesn't agree with my opinion of DW4.
Fail/LMAO
So you think he's a consensus opinion? You Don't think he's an outlier?
I’m not about to go there.
Even if I disagree with him he says what he thinks. I respect that, and he's not always wrong.
Wish I could say what I think without people telling me how to say it.I dont like anyone telling me what I'm supposed to think.

I know it won't slow you down. I dont like anyone telling me what I'm supposed to think.
Who told you what to think? And ain’t that being a little flawed there. Because a certain member keeps trying to sway others to think Watson is such a bad quarterback. Thus the reason why he continues to say another 4 years.
Why should steelb listen to you then.I know it won't slow you down. I dont like anyone telling me what I'm supposed to think.
So.. This thread is about the posters and not Texans...again. SMH.
He can say whatever, however he feels like doing it.Your free say it.

That's the way it works, isn't it?
Why does he has to do it the way you like?
Ok, no more joke after that one.
Read the thread. No ones going to tell ME what I should think.
Thank you so muchYour free say it.

Why do you have to say it 50 bazillion times? Why do some just have to respond each time even after saying they won't? Some roosters just have to crow.I've never said he's a bad QB.
I said he's an avg QB.
Quit misrepresenting my posts.
You quoted me but it doesn't apply to me.
Thanks though.
This is as good a thread as any to argue, I guess. The novelty of arguing with the same people over the same topics will eventually be extinguished in due time. Or maybe not. I think the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s are still arguing about a fence, or some damned thing.So.. This thread is about the posters and not Texans...again. SMH.
It was a pig all right! Sheesh no one will kill several people over a fence. Pork chops and chicharones that's worth it.This is as good a thread as any to argue, I guess.

Why not bring in the new head coach now so he can evaluate the talent live and have time to Implement his system. This year is a wash already. Why not give it to the new HC and let him make the most of it he can.
An average QB does not have 9 bad games in the row.I've never said he's a bad QB.
I said he's an avg QB.
