You have posters on ignore? I can see vantage points from all debates for the most part even if I don't agree. Texian is pretty wild on some stuff, pretty good on others. As long as posters can admit when they're wrong, I'm cool with it.
Quoted for truth
yep, just like coaches. There is some offset if they take another job in the nfl for the most part.
Most definitely, quite a few are dealing with some type of issues. But not at the same magnitude as the Texans. Tex I’ve been watching this game for a long time now, and brother I never seen an organization go through what the Texans went through.
I’m with you on that but some people have a tendency of rubbing folks the wrong way.
I dont think watson had anything personal against the NC hire or NC himself..he said as much i think…i truly just believe once he signed his deal, he felt like he had more influence than he actually did….…and alot of folks inside and outside of the org also started getting into his ear about Easterby..& where they thought the org was going. Im sure he pow wowed with Texans greats who effectively had wasted their prime years here and now regretted it…AJ…Nuk….now JJ…they likely told him “if i were you…”
So at that dinner with Cal he tried to flex, Cal probably told him that they were exploring candidates…some of which he knew about (Omar Khan) but that they were still looking. It was like a day or 2 later the rumor leaked that NC was gonna get the gig…and he knew nothing about it…and what was probably worse in his eyes is that it was another patriots guy……. connected to Easterby. thats when he started tweeting about loyalty and organizations and ****.
Of course he didnt have much time to draw sympathy from anyone b/c those civil suits were about to start dropping
They can be fired for cause and if they quit they forfeit remaining pay.
Oh, I know that.
I was being very overzealous with my prediction before the season started. Why because I’m a homer and I was hoping for them to prove Watson wrong as well as the naysayers. I truly believe Lovie was going to be different. But him and Pep’s coaching is actually worser than what we saw in the past. Coaching is the main problem imo.
I dunno.
But those situations didn’t set those teams back like it’s doing the Texans. And those teams are not still digging a hole like we are. That’s why I said at the same magnitude. Bro we just fired Easterby and both Cooks and the linebacker we just cut, flat out quit. The team is playing like they don’t even belong in the NFL. Looks like we’re about to only win 2 games again. They have lost majority of the fanbase.
Who do you think make the decision on draft days and free agency?
Who do you think was responsible for bringing in Cannon, Britt, and Burkhead?
Again he came into a traumatic unorthodox situation. Judge him after next season
You’re acting like they had a large selection. I don’t like that he kept Burkhead over Mack. But Mack isn’t getting any burn anywhere else.
No final grade yet.
Brother have you ever seen a team this poorly coached? Well of course we won’t see high PFF grades.
What about roster building like steelbtexan likes to bring up?
Damn SteelB, you sure are in a lot of heads. Drafty places?
That's what I meant in front four.
I disagree here.
Buffalo runs the same defense, just with better players. I watched them load the box, guys right there, still didn't make the tackle or slow the guy down. Kirkskey was scared, wallow and harris were just out of position along with Pitre and Owens. The dline got washed alot even vs a Titans line that's not really playing well.
Front 7 play is probably what I know the least about so I'm curious. Is it really even possible for your linebackers to look good when your dline gets blown off the ball like ours seems to?
If you have me on ignore, how is it you read and respond to so many of my posts? Transcendental meditation? The Power of Kool-Aid? Trolling? Thanks for reading.
Lovie is legitimately terrible but in his defense our pass defense is decent and that's with no help from our front 7. If I remember right from looking a couple days ago we're 17th in EPA/dropback and like 10th in yards per attempt. And that's with the secondary not getting much help from the pass rush. I think we're like 22nd in sack rate. And he's not working with much in the front 7 considering our high picks on defense are both in the secondary.
Cal listened to Easterby. It was O'Brien who convinced Cal to hire Easterby. It was Easterby who convinced Cal to hire Caserio. Khan never met with Easterby's approval. Have you already forgotten how Easterby went to Cal's house early on a Sunday morning and convinced Cal to fire up the jet to go get Caserio because if they didn't go now they would lose Caserio to another team?
This doesn't explain how the McNair's had been chasing Caserio for years.
Facts!
Mills never had the potential to be a top 10 qb regardless of what they put around him. He wasn't even a good college player or did I miss something. Its been almost unheard of to be a avg or below avg college qb to be top 10 in the nfl. Mills would be the exception to the rule
You don't think they did a background check on him before they drafted him? C'mon, you can't be that dense. They had pi's at the jr high talking to teacher before they drafted my cousin in 1990 in the 1st rd. All 1st rd picks get vetted to the fullest, this isn't speculation, this is something I know. I'm also almost certain that if they had any inkling that he was doing what he was doing before his extension, something would've gotten out. Once a player show you he's trouble free and an upstanding person, why would they all of a sudden flip the switch and do what Watson is accused of? Nobody had a clue this was going on during Covid.
You can disagree, but show me 1 college qb who was avg when he played that turned out to be top 10 in the nfl. Whatever you want to say, I don't care about star rating of high school kids because we see DJ of Clemson looks like trash. Show me a qb in college who was avg or below avg in college like Mills and became top 10. Regardless of those guys you mentioned had 1 big season, they had 1 vs none. He could've went to play somewhere else like Spencer Rattler, Joe Flacco, hell Ewers and Burrough left to play. We see Bo Nix in Oregon when last year he was at Auburn. Hurts got pushed out by Tua and we to Oklahoma. It's been happening and these qbs are coming in from elite 11 camps with 1000s of throws on their arm. They're more ready to play that qbs 20yrs ago when everyone was just handing the ball off. Again, I like Mills, I just never understood why posters thought he was some kind of steal. He a backup/boderline starter in this league like Simien,Chase Daniels,Brissett, and a whole list of career backups. Great money in it also and at some point he might get another shot to start and maybe with his experience he can take advantage of it like Geno Smith has or Kurt Warner did, who knows?
Let me get us back on track and answer your question, again, about the Caserio saga. Caserio first came to Bob McNair's attention when Bill O'Brien strongly lobbied Bob McNair to hire Nick Caserio. Bob McNair passes and Bill O'Brien convinces Cal to hire Jack Easterby and the Caserio baton is passed to Cal.
If that ghost is Caserio I hope you're correct.
No, Bill O'Brien first recommended Nick Caserio to Bob McNair in the same way Gary Kubiak recommended Rick Smith to Bob McNair. It's a pattern of behavior, Kirby boardroom thing. You're trying to hard make the Caserio hiring something it is not. You're trying to remove the stain and stigma of Caserio being a Cal, O'Brien, EasterbyCaserio connection. The bottom line is Jack Easterby convinced Cal and Janice to hire Caserio and they could now do so without any repercussions. So they did.
Montana was a good qb at a big time program. They didn't throw the ball much. Brett Favre beat beat Florida St at Southern Miss. Aaron Rodgers was in the debate as the #1 overrall pick, he also finished top 10 in the Heisman. Dude had almost a 4:1 td-int ratio. I see yall had to go back 20+ years to find exceptions to the rule that are not even exceptions. Brady is the exception to every rule, but carry on.
You're right because I don't see special traits. He's a good timed foot athlete, but doesn't leave the pocket. He's not a natural football player. Kinda like Clowney is a athlete playing football vs being an athletic football player.
