David Cully is just a stopgap hire to get to Josh McCown

My favorite conspiracy is that I'm seeing this report as being a stopgap to get them to Josh McCown as their head coach... They're saying that David Cully is going to be the interim head coach.

PredictionFootballHot
Cully was indeed a one-year stopgap. While McCown was interviewed again in 2022, the Texans ultimately hired Lovie Smith, then DeMeco Ryans. McCown never became the HC.

David Cully's coaching history is a major red flag

He was a wide receivers coach in the NFL from 1994 to 2010. That feels like a long time to be a wide receivers coach and not get a promotion. So he's an expert.

OpinionFootballMediumSarcastic
David Cully was widely considered a surprising hire and was fired after just one season (4-13 record), essentially confirming the skepticism that he wasn't a long-term solution.

Deshaun Watson is ruining the team he wants to be traded to

You're essentially saying, I want to be traded to a team that then will give up a bunch of draft capital and then hurt my ability to play for a winning team. In a way, yeah. He's almost kind of shitting in his own house and then buying the house.

OpinionFootballMedium
Watson was eventually traded to the Browns for three 1st-round picks. The Browns have struggled to build around him due to lack of assets and his own performance/suspension.

No team should trade four first-round picks for Deshaun Watson

I think that you would be screwing yourself so royally over for the future if you give up four first-round picks... I wouldn't do it for four.

OpinionFootballHot
Watson went for three 1st-rounders. The team that paid that (Browns) has faced significant criticism and roster building challenges, supporting Big Cat's 'don't overpay' stance.

I would never trade Patrick Mahomes for anything

I wouldn't trade Patrick Mahomes for anything. I mean, you're pretty much guaranteeing that you're going to the AFC Championship game for the next, like, 15 years.

OpinionFootballMild
Mahomes has continued to make deep playoff runs every year since this take, including multiple Super Bowl wins.

Dak Prescott sucks

Dak Prescott sucks. He sucks. And anytime – everyone's like, well, he lost to Zeke Elliott. Well, if losing your running back means that you aren't a good quarterback anymore, you weren't a good quarterback to begin with.

OpinionFootballHot
While Dak has had ups and downs, he has consistently been a top-tier NFL quarterback and led high-powered offenses with and without Zeke Elliott. Calling him 'sucks' is hyperbole.
