Thanks for your support!
I don't think Casino is one of the five worst, but he ain't one of the five best either.
Believe what you want. I'm certainly not going to change your mind.
He did learn under Belichick, who doesn't have a great record in the draft.
My understanding is that Lynch and Shanahan were both all in on trading up to #3 to draft Mac Jones and at the last minute Shanahan had a change of heart and shocked the NFL world by picking Trey Lance instead. I think what you are referring to were some wild azz rumors started by McClain and Mike Lombardi about Texans not taking a QB, Caserio leaving after the draft, and Texans hiring Adam Peters and trading for Trey Lance.
He’s throwing out his opinion as well. Doesn’t mean he knows. He’s just guessing like the rest of us.
You wont believe this if Cal comes out and says Stroud was his pick. Which it wasn't.
Can you manipulate your boss? More importantly can you manipulate your bosses wife.
But still better than it's been in years (ever)
Caserio is a people pleaser; his personality is to please. This is why the McNairs like him. Caserio is incapable of manipulating anyone. This is why he ends up with the short end of the stick in most trades and overpays big-player contracts. He gets the players, the coaches, and the owner wants and makes players happy by getting them paid. That is what he did in New England, and this is what he does in Houston. Except in NE he did not negotiate contracts or make any trades, but he did what Bill and Bob told him to do to their satisfaction.
They will never admit this. Caserio/Ryans run cover for their meddling. Just like other did for Cal's dad.
Considering you've never met or talked with the man (assuming here correct me if I'm wrong) I'll take your psychoanalysis with a massive block of salt.
I trust the person who told me this.

There are reasons to rank Nick Caserio low among NFL general managers. It's just that the author didn't use any of those reasons. Basically, he looked at the records and said, "He's bad, he's good". There's so much content on the internet and that assures you get lazy sports writing. That the piece can't even put the correct team to Raider GM Dave Ziegler's name tells you everything you need to know.

2023 NFL GM rankings: The 5 best and 5 worst execs
Caserio spent the first two years of his Texans tenure unofficially tanking while wasting the time of two head coaches — David Culley and Lovie Smith — who deserved so much better. And beyond his coaches, he also wasted the time of his fans.
Let’s be blunt here. I don’t care if Caserio’s “tanking” process led the Texans to C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson. NFL turnarounds simply don’t require mailing in two consecutive seasons. It is a blatant insult to your supporters to expect them to maintain unwavering loyalty and to anyone who loves the professional game. A majority of NFL teams are depressing and mediocre enough as it is. The least you can do is humor people by actually trying to put a competent product on the field. Caserio should be ashamed of that process alone.
I sure hope DeMeco Ryans works out as Houston’s new head coach. Because if this is a real Year 1 for Caserio, it’s time to start competing and showing progress. The excuses, if there were any to begin with in the first place, have dried out.
Who cares what a bunch of writers think.
And almost did it again when they had 3 coaches 1971-1974
Agree with the trade up for Anderson or not, and obviously Ryans did, no one at 12 or the other pieces involved equaled #51or deal Would not have been consummated.
I heard the cant control the record and he should get flamed for that. When he came in with no picks and a huge cap problem, yeah, but nowadays needs to own it. I figured they wanted to muddle for two years to clear cap, get DW4 out of here, and start getting in picks, so I started judging harsher now as we can see how his picks from last year are playing out. I watched a good Netflix on Florida when they rose up, you could tell Urban wanted his Alpha on offense and defense that showed how they work, and led the team from the inside. I agree there are many pass rushers, but I feel Will Anderson brings that alpha dog that will force excellence across the Defense, and am watching CJ who needs to grow into that I am souring on Casserio, think we can do better, but want to see him with Demeco. Casserio likes to serve, so with a better coach and talent guy like Demeco, I do think Casserio can be servicable. I thought Green was a need pick last year, but did think the kid could play til he got hurt, but verdict is way out on him now
Caserio isn’t getting any special pass.
Texans GM Nick Caserio relentless in protecting CJ Stroud - and himself
There’s no such thing as a straight set in this deck of cards.
Since the Texans org has operated this way since their inception, I think it's rather obvious what the main issue is. Ownership meddling, I think it's funny that Green got hurt and very well may be a bust and the posters on here want Caserio fired because of this. This just in, maybe expectations are being set to high.
Whether or not trading the first round pick "fixes the problem" you absolutely trade up to get a potential probowl caliber player who was compared to Vonn Miller and Demarcus Ware. That's a risk I will take.
I said they should win 10 games if the OL stayed healthy, but would only win 6 because of Stroud's inexperience. The OL isn't healthy, so I think they are going to punt the 1st month of the season.
I didn't like the Stingley pick either. Lovie worked out both Sauce and Stingley and chose Stingley. My hope from the Stingley/Green draft is that while Caserio/Ryans are working together, Caserio will be able to tell Ryans, hey man we've got these 2 prospects rated about equal, lets go with the healthiest prospect.
Personally I think the Will Anderson selection was a seat filler as well as Stroud. JC not QB I wanted but he was ranked top two by almost every site for a reason with WA not far behind and neither ranked that high because folks thought they would sell tickets.
