Barret, yeah, but Kubs will be back if we get to a playoff game, so he feels like he is still in control. Thus his ego!

Kubs is not the guy primarily responsible for drafting KJ. Smith is.

Smith is not the guy primarily held responsible if KJ causes Houston to lose this year. Kubiak is.

Not to mention GMs and Head Coaches with GM authority are the ones who push for their pet picks to be given opportunity after opportunity. This is because they are judged by those picks. So for the GM it is sometimes less about winning than it is about winning with his guys. That's how Brees got run out of SD. Head coaches without GM authority just get judged off of winning. Plus Kubiak has already flopped and taken the ego hit to any defensive credibility he had. That defense and the picks associated got his guys fired. Wade is getting credit for this defense. KJ turning it around at some point does nothing for Kubiak's ego or rep.

Kubiak has no real incentive to push for KJ to play unless it is a part of Smith's agenda from on high.
