The Texans could save face with fans if they bring someone in to do just that (keep OB in check)..... Nick Caserio, maybe?
I'm not sure what to think of Cal McNair at this point other than his being an enabler..... Is he not aware of the mass discontent or realize the consequences?

It's not just him being emotional. We haven't made a reasonable trade since he took over GM duties. We get fleeced in every deal. We gave up the best WR in the league and got back an injured RB who is getting paid double what we could have paid Gurley or Gordon on the open market without giving up assets.
We wildly overpaid for Duke Johnson and Tunsil. We got pennies on the dollar for Clowney and Hopkins. This is an unmitigated train wreck. The whole league is getting RB for free while we surrender assets for the right to overpay them. We wildly overpaid for an above average OL who then played above average (except for his league leading penalties).
Charlie Casserly would have fleeced O'Brien. He simply has zero feel for the value of assets. He is so arrogant that when he sees things different he just assumes everyone else is wrong. These deals would get vetoed and get a guy kicked out of a fantasy league.
