Not saying it’s 100% on Rick, but the questionable roster decisions and terrible drafts post-1st round didn’t just start when BOB got here. For the record I would’ve gotten rid of both Rick and BOB
It is when in response to them showcasing a record setting offense, you reply that it would have happened without him. It is when you claim they only had winning seasons due to the defense (which is not his main responsibility), but when they lost games this year due to the defense it’s because he’s bad at constructing that side of the ball. Look, he’s definitely got a lot to prove/accomplish, and he’s still on the hot seat despite this extension. But to not have any sort of optimism after seeing what he did with Watson this year... either makes you completely jaded/obtuse, or just ignorant.
That explains why Watson was the first pick in the draft. No? Well then that explains why he was the first QB taken. Crap. Well then that DEFINITELY explains why he was the SECOND QB taken. What? **** it, I don't care, BOB still sucks.
So... Kubiak/Smith left BOB this great roster that was 2-14. BOB took it to 9-7 with a journeyman QB, who BOB got to play the best ball of his career. BOB cycled through some other journeymen QBs, which is apparently unforgivable because we could have been winning Super Bowls with guys like Keenum and Fitzpatrick while BOB was busy winning divisions with guys like Hoyer and Osweiler. BOB settled on Watson, who is so good that he can apparently direct the best offense in the NFL with the worst OL in the NFL while being held back by BOB, who selected Watson but maybe he didn't because BOB is only responsible for personnel when I feel like it. BOB should be punished for taking 3 years to settle on a QB in Watson, who anyone could see was obviously so great beforehand but BOB should have taken someone else sooner even though he wouldn't have been as good as Watson just because I hate BOB. AJ Bouye leaves, which is obviously BOB's fault. Then Duane Brown leaves probably for the same reason. Texans suffer the most injuries ever, but who cares! 4-12 is all that matters, so the coach needs to be fired.
Rick got us and the Mcnairs Watson. Respect always! I doubt Smith has even been thinking about eggball. O'brian said he has Watson studying tapes of Aaron Rodgers. I hope O'brian study tapes of the past four seasons of what not to do. I like Steelers 2014, Cowboys 2014 among my favorite grueling moments. For the sake of our team, I do wish him to be successful.
Doesn't matter Brian. 9-7, back in the playoffs Brian. Oh what's that? 9-7 won't win the division anymore? There are no more cupcakes?
The Steelers game is what Texans fans have to look forward to for the next 5 years at least. Infinitely winnable games being blown because the coaching is just that bad.
If we can put up 40 points against Jacksonville, the Texans will win nine out of 10 times every time. #Burgundybattlered
I won't be worried in blowouts, but when games are close, BOB will be there to ensure the Texans lose. This season Watson was only able to overcome BOB's awful coaching half of the time. Hopefully going forward he's able to overcome BOB's awful coaching more often. Today Roethlisburger was unable to overcome Tomlin.
The defenses will x each other out. So now were talking DeShawn Watson over Blake Bortles, and you know who I'm going with
And you'd have gone with Roethlisburger over Bortles too, but the coaching was bad enough to cause the Jags to win.
That's true, but BOB is even worse than Tomlin. I have all the faith in the world in Watson, but I remember the Seahawks and Patriots games where BOB caused the team to lose.
I just give props when they are due. BoB has done a pretty good job with what he has had. No way we should have won the division title with the teams that we've had. Let alone two times.
