    Never in doubt.

    Might be when he brings in a new coaching staff and Watson starts regressing,

    But even then his seat is pretty cushy in McNairville.

    The only way i can see a new gm is if, the texans were sold, Watson gets injured because of Gm rick smith incompetent signing/drafting, or he just resigns. I figured even if we end up losing as much as the browns, Rick will still b the last person to get fired, that how much McNair loves him.

    New owner and I'm sure he's done. I'm hoping these comments force him out

    Obrien won't be fired because of the development of Watson and the offense. You don't mess with that. Bill has to go ahead and Trust the his QB at the end of games.

    Now we know luhnow is best gm in houston. I wonder who is the worst. Rick Smith or morey. Both don't how to draft and they make the most horrible trades and free agent signings.

    I wouldn't be so sure.

    This roster isn't going to win many more games.

    Good excuse to blame O'Brien and get rid of him. We've seen in the past this front office doesn't care about what the players think.

    It's all about $elling hope, not winning it all. And Watson is their golden goose for $elling hope... because, you know, he does it all by himself.

    Obrien helped build this roster. And no it's not very good. A few stars and a bunch of junk

    Few front offices do but we have also never had a player to really cater around either IMO. Not saying they will or should but Watson certainly changes the conventional thinking somewhat. And while this team isn't going to win many more games, it's hard to put that all on the HC with the injuries we've had.

    At the end, the Texans better be damn sure they have the guy they want to lead Watson and this team should they decide to move on.

    Wouldn't be so sure? O'Brien had the offense at number one in the league with his rookie QB. It would be idiotic to change your scheme on a first year QB that was working. Don't stump your QB's growth.

    He could lose out the rest of the games and his seat is still nice and cold.

    He has lost Mercy, Watt, Watson. He gets to punt this year.

    I disagree. If the Texans sink like a rock he's gone. That is much more likely now.

    I think the injury and previous games. . . . I think OBrien gets a full year with Watson

    The owner doesn’t like BOB.
    The GM doesn’t like BOB.

    We don’t even know how bad BOB really wants to be back.

    There is no guarantee he will be back.

    The Jaguars lead NFL in pass defense, allowing 156.4 pass YPG

    3 JAX defenders rank in Top 6 in passer rating allowed in coverage (Min. 20 targets):
    S Tashaun Gipson - 30.3
    CB Jalen Ramsey - 38.2
    CB A.J. Bouye - 40.4 ​

    Spiking the ball every play equals a 39.6 passer rating.
