Our sad Houston Texans are tanking another very poor football season! Still a very bad coaching and our owner need to go!

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

This video can teach the new football fan several things: 1.) Terrible organizations are responsible for draft busts just as much as the players themselves. 2.) Giving up a huge number of draft picks for one player to “get over the hump” almost always backfires. 3.) Coaching is a lot more important in football than in any other sport.

You know, the organization which had Bull Walsh, then saw Harbaugh take a 6-10 Singletary led squad to 13-3 + a super bowl the following year and back to a third NFC championship game, and then later saw Shanahan take over the Jim Tomsula & Potato Chip Kelly disaster and took them to the super bowl in his third season. Coaching is never appreciated until you don't have it - just like your offensive line.

What about the ultimate lose-lose-trade in NFL history: Trent Richardson for a 1st in 2014 that became Johnny Manziel. Maybe Johnny goes to a team with a better organizational structure who can fix him. Maybe Trent Richardson doesn't bust in Indy. And maybe the Colts select a competent lineman or defender to help Andrew Luck and he doesn't become injured to hell and back and doesn't retire in his prime.

[@CasualShowoff]

Johnny’s issue was he never cared about football, he was way more concerned with partying

[@EinTeufelskreis]

Here’s an interesting scenario: What if the Bucs DO NOT trade for Gruden in the 02 offseason? With Tony Dungy fired after the 01-02 season for failing to get the Bucs over the hump, the Bucs opt to hire … *flips pages*….. Former Giants Defensive Coordinator John Fox who lead the Giants to the Super Bowl in 2000! Tampa still owns their 2 first round picks and second round picks and starter Dexter Jackson is an impending free agent. So with the 22nd pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select… University of Miami safety Ed Reed to pair with perennial Pro Bowler John Lynch. Maybe the Bucs ride a ball hawking defense to their first Super Bowl anyway (also Dexter Jackson doesn’t win Super Bowl MVP). And in the 2003 NFL Draft, Tampa Bay elects to draft East Illinois Quarterback Tony Romo in the first round to sit and learn behind veteran Brad Johnson. Oh what could have been…

[@nickcostanza8730]

Not a trade scenario per se but maybe one of the most heart wrenching "what if's" involves Vince Lombardi and his short time in Washington. Lombardi takes over a floundering, albeit talent filled, squad in 1969 that has been wretched since the end of WWII and immediately turns them into winners, just as he did in Green Bay the decade prior. He dies of cancer the following year and even though they become perennial contenders soon afterward, its haunted sports fans of this town for generations. What if, though, Lombardi doesn't get cancer and continues coaching in Washington? How many more Super Bowl trophies does the franchise have?

The thing that is the most intresting aspect of the Hopkins trade is how it affects the Vikings who the Texans lost to in Week 4. Both teams went into the Week 0-3 and the losing coach was going to be fired no matter what. If Hopkins had stayed, the Texans 100% win that game, the Vikings fire Mike Zimmer and probably end up with either the number 1 or 2 draft pick. The most interesting thing about these scenarios is how teams invertedly affected by the trade, end up in the end.
