wow - totally baffling move by O'Brien. Just makes zero sense. 

Cannot claim to follow the adventures of the Houston Texans very closely, but I have a vague idea that Bill O'Brien is one of those rare individuals in whom the powers of both Coach and General Manager are both vested- a Belichikian status he may not exactly deserve.

Correct me if I'm wrong, or forgetting somebody, but didn't Bill "The Boy Lombardi" O'Brien trade the Texans' 2020 first-round pick, their 2021 first-round pick, and their 2021 second to the Dolphins for Jeremey Tonsils and Kenny Stills; trade Jadeveon Clowney to Seattle for Barkevious Mingo and Ted Tunafish; and now has shipped out DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona for David "He Used To Be Great, For That One Year!" Johnson and Something Else?

Power Corrupts, and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely

Dave Gettleman is really good at making fans angry, so you'd feel right at home. Just sayin. 

Gettleman is DEFINITELY the closest to GM to BOB. They have the same smugness and arrogance throwing around premium assets and draft capital with supreme confidence and don't really seem to care about value or at least the perception of value.

Every time he talks to the media I find myself grinding my teeth. Can't wait to watch Leonard Williams lead the league in almost sacks next year.

So we just gonna forget Matt Millen like he didn't set the bar for these newbies?

Class act. From start to finish.

Goodbye, Nuk. You had some bad situations early on, some bad QB play, some weeks where you were the only offense available - but you showed up every week, worked hard on your craft, became a student of the game and picked up the mantle from Andre Johnson with no stumble.

Now, you're heading to the desert with Larry Fitzgerald, and you have another young and dynamic QB in Kyler Murray - you're still destined for great things, regardless of destination. I hope I can catch a few Cardinals games to see you do what you do...

Take care of him Arizona. You have a special player on your hands.

Let us not concede defeat yet. We still have till Wed to see if this is legit, right? Right?. 

 

Please tell me this isn't real and I'll wake up from this wacky alternate reality in the morning 😕

I want it to be legit. For Nuk's sake. I want him in Arizona.

I want to see Deshaun Watson traded to New England or Los Angeles - give him a fresh start in a city where his superhuman talents will be front and center in large NFL markets, where he will be recognized as one of the greatest talents currently in the league.

I want to see JJ Watt in Green Bay, where he can play at home in front of his family. Watt is the most amazing ambassador this city has ever had, he's done more for Houston than many politicians. Watt was arguably the best defensive player in football for a period of time, he gave his body up for this team - literally. Watt deserves to play in front of his family and wife (who isn't too far out in Chicago). 

I want to see Andre Johnson get an opportunity as a Director of Player Personnel for the 49ers. His prime was in a Kyle Shanahan offense, and he was a freak of nature who was done wrong by this regime. He has a desire to be in a front office, and he apparently has a good feel for such a role - don't let this current regime ruin that.

I want guys like Larmey Tunsil, Zach Cunningham, DJ Reader, Berdnardrick McKinney, Whitney Mercilius somewhere else. Anywhere else. These guys deserve better.

I want Bill O'Brien to have the roster he wants. I want him to get David Johnson trying to get to the edge and getting cut down deep in the backfield. I want him bringing in Christian Hackenberg to play QB, so we can watch these two fail in new and entertaining ways. I want him relying on guys like Will Fuller and Keke Coutee at WR, fragile bodies who clearly don't put in the work in the off-season to keep their bodies ready and - in th case of Coutee - learn their playbooks. I want him working with four TEs, because who the absolute hell needs FOUR TEs!? 

I want all of this for BoB because I want BoB to fail at football. I want him to go 0-16 with the Texans, then keep his job and go 0-16 again. I want him to lost 17-16 on a walk-off pick six on a horrible screen pass call on 3rd and 3 with 0:03 seconds left, I want him to lose 84-0 to KC, I want QBs like Chad Kelly to throw for 450/4 TDs on his defense, I want Leonard Fournette to set single season rushing records against a BoB defense, I want Derrick Henry to break that single season rushing record the very next week, I want Ryan Tannehill to throw for a perfect QB rating every game vs the Texans, I want AJ Brown, DJ Chark and TY Hilton to go ABCD on this secondary...

I don't want BoB to lose. I want him to be humiliated. He's there already, but I want him to solidify himself as the dumbest human being in football, I want him to make Chip Kelly and Marvin Lewis look like your choice of Bill (Parcells, Walsh or Belicheck). I want him out of football - not out of the NFL, not back in the NCAA, I want freaking high schools to look at him and say "No thanks, we've got our eye on the freshman biology teacher..."

I love the Texans. I sincerely do. But, I HATE Bill O'Brien - with every single fiber of my being. His arrogance and stupidity and stubbornness has taken a team that never had much to begin with (that's what happens when you're 18 years old and started off with Tony Boselli and David Carr) and really attempted to bury it further under ground. He made people in a football city hate football, and he doesn't deserve the passion we put into our team. And I don't just want him fired, I want him fired into the sun.

And with that... the Texans 2020 season has been cancelled due to O'Brienvirus. This quarantine won't end until BoB is gone.

@ramssuperbowl99 - hope this rant is good enough. I think you're right, teamless is the way to go, but let's take some calls, see who can sign me as a FA. You're my agent on this one, per your request.
