I'd rather have McNair than an owner who wanted to be involved. McNair makes a decision that affects the team once or twice a decade (HC/GM hire/fire). That means a guy with no real football background and no professional training makes a decision twice a decade. Compare that to the Cowboys, Jets, Redskins, etc... where an unqualified guy meddles constantly. Where Woody Johnson sinks a whole season to get a piece of the Tebow media coverage. Where Jerry Jones runs the franchise like its John Madden and dumps obscene contracts on skill positions and never has adequate line play because he is an amateur play acting at GM. Or Washington where the owner will do anything to win except be patient so the team is always re-uppin on the fly and looking for short cuts rather than building.
We may not like the professional decision makers in Houston, but it is better than having some guy with a business sense acting out his whims as a fan because his bank account lets him.
