A dumpster fire is a most unpleasant sight, not to mention an unbearable stench. If you’ve ever seen, or should I say experienced one, you know exactly what I mean. If you haven’t experienced one, well you have and probably didn’t realize it. What you saw last Sunday in losing to the San Diego Chargers 21-10, was the blow-up and raging portion of the dumpster fire that makes it noticeable.

The Houston Texans are a dumpster fire. The quarterback is that expensive painting you bought at a garage sale, only to realize it’s a fake. The head coach is the “nice” rug your Aunt Hilda left you in her will, but she got it off Harwin. 


The General manager is that old school floor model TV at your grandma’s house, but now it’s basically a table holding the new flat screen; still around, still serving a purpose, but taking up space. The organization is the dumpster itself because it’ll still be here once all the other items have burned to ashes.

 

Now, while all these items had a value and/or purpose at one point, they no longer hold the same value or serve the same purpose. All of these things looked nice and could’ve gone on to be better than what they were, but have aged terribly in a short amount of time due to a serious lack of quality materials they were made from. The only exception is the floor model TV (GM Rick Smith), who seems to have been re-purposed in order to find a new way to keep it around.

 

What this team needs is a change in philosophy from top to bottom. A true commitment to winning, not a feeble attempt at coming off as a “contender.” Bob McNair needs to hire a real GM and let Rick Smith oversee things to ensure McNair’s desire to have a winner (if that is in fact the case), is carried out. A head coach that can actually do the job without learning on it needs to be brought in. And last but not least, let Tom Savage have a legit shot at starting. Brock Osweiller will be back because the cap hit would be too big and an admittance to utter failure. Draft a quarterback who can come in and compete from day one to create competition, and may the best man win.

 

Fans are finally starting to see the light and starting to turn on the franchise for not putting forth the proper effort that their words express. A well-respected source once said “there’s only 6-8 teams every year that are legit contenders and try to put a winner on the field, everyone else is here to make money.” Sorry Texan fans. This team is one of the 24-26 that is here to make money.
