Of course, the real results of how players perform and team results, we all can speculate and not know for sure.
We can all have different opinions and complaints, so that is interesting too.
Maybe fair and unbiased would be possible, maybe we need a negative reporter, but team likely would not like that, maybe we wouldn't either.
Thinking about it, the best one can do this time of year is build some suspense about the team.
I tend to see some reasonably well informed Houstonites, even in just the casual fans.
I doubt anyone's believes Osweiler is that fast , but now you get to speculate. Maybe generating discussion is the goal for now.

I'm not looking for negative. I'm pretty optimistic about the team and the upcoming season. But I think it is sad that most of the word coming out of OTAs comes from a team paid source. Then you have blog guys who just watch video and comment (similar to all of us, but with more or less put into it). I guess it's just hard for me to believe that there isn't a single beat writer with access to the team that truly covers the football and asks hard questions. Obviously if one guy started doing it he'd get denied access, but if we had multiple people doing it, then the team would no longer control their own media output. It's just a sign of bad reporting when the writer's pay check comes from the source he's covering.
I mean I wouldn't buy stock in a company because the company newsletter says they have a smart CEO, but that is basically what the Texans.com stuff is.
