Deshaun Watson needed just four words to send Twitter abuzz on Tuesday night.
Watson tweeted “some things never change….”, and that left the football world intrigued.
Many thought that Watson was talking about the Houston Texans and expressing some frustration. Houston was reported on Tuesday to have hired Nick Caserio away from the Patriots to serve as its new general manager.
So how might Watson’s tweet have applied to the situation? The Houston Chronicle’s Jerome Solomon wrote a column critical of the hire, saying that it was an example of the “same old Texans.”
According to Solomon, a search firm recommended five candidates they for the GM job. Caserio was not one of those names. Ignoring the recommendations and going with another guy from the Patriots, just like they did with Bill O’Brien, could be an example of things not changing.
Or maybe we’re all overanalyzing things and Watson is not even talking about football.
Watson has been expressing frustration over the Texans’ struggles. Houston went 4-12 this season after winning the AFC South the two previous years.
