I think the way O'Brien played it is not a terrible way to stay employed in the short/medium term, but he probably didn't need to worry about that with McNair anyways. Going through two full offseasons without addressing the QB position is about as smart as running the swinging gate on a fake punt and then snapping the ball when you fail to get the alignment you need.
Forget Bortles/Manziel/Bridgewater vs Clowney. Maybe our guys loved the hype on Clowney. But what about Carr vs Su'a Filo? These idiots could have taken a chance on a competent QB and a price that does not lock you into the guy for years, and instead they took a guard. Even if the QB sucks and the guard can play that's stupid. When you don't have a QB you buy as many lottery tickets as you can.
Instead under O'Brien we have looked at the unquestioned most important position on the field for two years, and invested the following, a comp 4th. That is either incompetence through arrogance or incompetence through stupidity.
