They should be called the Houston Futility
Chronicle columnist John Lopez documents the futility known as the Houston Texans NFL franchise to date:
The three biggest joke expansion teams in the history of the NFL have been the New Orleans Saints, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Texans.
And of those three, the numbers say the Texans are bringing up the rear in futility, having won just 27.5 percent of their games in their first five years of existence, compared to 28.5 by the Saints over the same span and 28.9 by the Bucs.
The Saints and Bucs did not benefit from two major institutional advantages that should have helped the Texans: free agency and the salary cap. Yet the Texans squandered those advantages (and early drafts) in racing to the bottom.
