Friend Tom Kirkendall picks up on a theme we’ve sounded here previously — the fact that Texans GM Charley Casserly has been nearly immune to criticism until very recently.
Kirkendall goes on to refer to Chronicle columnist John McClain’s previous fawning over Charley Casserly, and writes:
I would like to read an article by Mr. McClain that is based on thorough research that details the personnel choices of Mr. Casserly, compares those choices to alternatives that were available at the time of such choices, and analyzes why the choices that were made have come together to make the Texans the laughingstock of the NFL.
That’s a great idea that we’ll second, with one caveat: It doesn’t have to be McClain. Any sports columnist who wants to tackle the topic is fine by me.
And why not? It’s a good story just waiting to be written, and one that fairly cries out for treatment by a professional sports journalist with the research tools and time to do it properly.
Banjo Jones has gotten things off to a good start. But a truly comprehensive column would look into potential free agent signings over each year, potential salary cap impact, alternate draft picks, and the like.
How about it, local sports writers?
