    Rick Smith could shoot a man on Kirby and would still have his job.

    Would the victim's ethnicity matter?

    Nope. On Kirby we only care if the guy is charged with mar1juana possession.

    Watson could of been a bust and Ricky would probably get another extension. As long as Uncle BOB is here Smith will have a job. It's very unfortunate.

    The man he shot could be Bob McNair and Rick Smith would still be safe. :D

    Trick question. His job was never in danger.

    However, he may get a new, fat extension. (...even though we know he has a forever job.)

    If this continues and Watson stays Heathly and leads the team to playoffs and beyond,

    His job is safe and so is Bob's, if he decides to stay.

    Now those 11 other teams that passed and the Browns who traded the pick.

    That's life

    Yes, if he shoots a black man he'll probably have to vacate his position when he's made Secretary of Defense by y'alls BOY T. Lulz. I kid.

    Smith is a "member" of the McNair family; he is "unfireable." But, Watson is really good.

    Rick Smith could take a knee before, during, and after the National Anthem and still have a job.
