Speculation. Ever patient, McNair's history suggests he gives his head coaches at least four seasons. So O'Brien only has 2 years from whatever point he picks a QB then? Huh?

O'Brien has in fact said the opposite. Remember his rant in training camp?

He's probably had this same 4-5 year window since he hired. Problem now is his rookie QB better produce by year 2 (i.e. 2017!!) rather than be entering 2016 with a rookie of his choosing going into his third year.

O'Brien has a better chance resetting his hot seat clock with a new GM, thereby placing the blame on the talent selection. It'd be a good play since he took the crap inherited from Kubiak to go 9-7 with four different QBs.
