This is false. The owners do have skin in the game. They're the ones that is pushing for the 18 game schedule. They're the ones that pushed the playoff format change. They have skin in the game.
Most of their issues is the lack of empathy, lack of common sense, and poor timing in today's events. In this case, McNair's timing in this situation overall, is just lousy. Basically ignored all that money put into the search committee's recommendations, and went on its own way. That's just lousy planning/timing. Essentially, replacing a failed New England Patriot way with another New England Patriot way, that has a high probability of failure.
Finally, if you have a super star QB on your team, your best bet as an owner, should listen to him and get his feedback and take that into consideration, because if you don't (which happened in this case), not only you just alienate your best player, you also potentially alienate a lot of players on your team and potentional free agents. Nobody is going to touch Houston with a 10 foot pole.
