"well, our franchise qb and our beloved defensive end who are both in the top 3 of our franchise's history in terms of what they've contributed and how beloved they are really don't like having this guy around, and they think you're ignoring their concerns because this guy has too much sway over your opinion. overall everyone's confidence in your ability to run this team and make hires to set the franchise up to be successful is rapidly evaporating for a guy with no football experience whom most of the players feel neutrally or negatively towards and whom coaches and gms who are not named nick caserio are going to be incredibly wary of working with. also constantly waffling on this coaching hire is drawing out this process and magnifying scrutiny on this incredibly bad situation." [mcnair scrolling through 2013 memes on his phone] "i got it!"

if it was older it might be real but it’s two days after he got hired as texans gm, it’s responding to stuff like that easterby video rather than focusing on stuff that’s critical of caserio and the texans specifically, and above and beyond anything else, it hasn’t been deleted yet despite being called out as a burner

PupsOfWar posted:i don't know about that i would never defend billionaires, but i don't think they're drooling idiots if a player gets mad because they feel that they're being frozen out of decisions, that's something that an owner can understand and process, because they understand delegation and compartmentalization. they might not care, or they might not think the player has the right to make those calls, but fundamentally there is an understanding of hierarchical relationships because that's all that wealth is. billionaires aren't 4 year olds; they might not care that someone's upset but they can understand the basic principles behind "oh my talented employee is upset because they don't have power/influence over decisions that affect them" and they definitely refuse to do things out of personal disdain for them. that's how deandre hopkins got traded in the first place i think it's way more evil for billionaires to be spiteful and cruel and reactionary and arbitrary while they understand the needs and wants of others rather than because they don't

dolphins signed a totally washed jay cutler over kaep colts have repeatedly signed worse qbs than kaep loving god drat blake bortles is on the rams depth chart for some reason ryan fitzpatrick keeps getting new deals poo poo he can't even get a sniff backing up josh allen, who's flanked by two qbs (matt barkley and jake fromm) who bring 0 to the table in terms of being able to finish out a game in injury relief or in terms of remotely resembling josh allen's physical skills or playstyle it's dumb and "well he's not good enough" is just buying into management's line anyways deshaun can afford to call the texans' bluff and sit out a few games but i wouldn't be surprised if he gets some calls from de smith asking him to be a team player

the timeline is -watson gets traded for pennies on the dollar -watson immediately gets “injured” and sits out for a whole year -watson starts in 2022 and we hear about his “courage” for coming back from an injury and salacious headlines

quote:About two weeks after the first suits against Watson were filed, a lawyer who said he was representing Texans owner Cal McNair did approach both attorneys, seeking to broker a mediation. A statement from the Texans organization, emailed by a team spokesperson, says, “Mr. McNair was aware that his personal attorney contacted both parties to suggest mediation. Mr. McNair has had no personal involvement in any of those discussions. The Houston Texans organization has not had any direct contact with either party.” cal mcnair -no personal involvement in a mediation -personal lawyer just happened to offer to broker a mediation texans -no "direct contact" with either party you're telling me the texans haven't been in direct contact with their star qb (whom they're presumably trying to avoid trading) in three months? and that cal mcnair's lawyer just happened to show up with mcnair's knowledge and mcnair had no direct involvement in engaging in mediation?
