Deshaun Watson has seen a lot of support from teammates, former Texans and analysts throughout the NFL community in the wake of the Texans organization doing just about everything wrong to upset him and the fan base.
The quarterback has been unhappy with the way the team went about hiring general manager Nick Caserio without his input, after he was informed by the owner that he would indeed do so.
Super Bowl winning coach Dick Vermeil is not of those people who are on Watson’s side and disagrees with Andre Johnson’s sentiment and thinks that the 25-year-old Watson should stand down.
“Nowhere in his contract does it say that he’s involved in making the decisions of who coaches or who leads the organization,” Vermeil told TMZ Sports. “He’s a great NFL football player and always has been a great kid, but I think he just shuts his mouth and becomes a better football player and lead the football team and let the leaders of the organization lead him.”
When asked about how the Texans should handle the ever-building tension with their franchise core, Vermeil said that he thinks Houston should “change his diapers.”
The 84-year-old Vermeil continued, “He’s a great NFL football player and always has been a great kid, but I think he just shuts his mouth and becomes a better football player and lead the football team and let the leaders of the organization lead him.”
