Imagine that

I think people are having a hard time not talking about it. This is obviously a hot topic and would be extremely difficult to only discuss from 9 to 5. Media knows this and with a little prodding, people can't contain themselves. This is more a Tepper issue than Rhule.

Actually, the worse case scenario is we make this trade, keep losing and after 3 years Watson decides he doesn't want to play for this shitshow anymore and would rather go to a winner. We would have no franchise QB, a team with little to no young talent, and in the same position Houston is in now. While not unfavorable to get a boatload of picks, it still means rebuilding and more losing. And for those who think he wouldn't do that, he just forced his way out 1 year after signing a huge extension.

Hard to say. But the open space is still better than Miller.

Yeah. I should have specified FS. Deep safety is not his game.

That's because they recognize the value of Chinn and that Rhule is a complete idiot for trying to make him a safety.

Last time I can remember a team doing a straight up QB salary dump it was it was Cleveland and Houston. 2nd rounder for 16m in cap space in the Brock Osweiler trade.

Chinn should have been DROY. Rhule neutralized his best defensive weapon. He makes more of an impact when used correctly.

5th and swapping 6ths. Good receiver got dirt cheap.

So if we do land Watson, what's his restructure going to look like? 10 year 550m? Don't want to trade all those assets and not have him on a long term deal. Currently his contract is up in 4 so we would have our first chance to aquire elite level college talent in the last year of his contract.

If it were TB12, I could see it to an extent. Dude has 7 rings. Watson has a couple of 10 win seasons and coming off a 4-12 season. Slight difference.

Beat me to it.

This could be the system working 1000% that we just can't see, yet.

It's OK to put your foot down. But so far Tepper has been stomping on turds.

Another Watson thread. Yay!

It's the Rhule version of the wildcat. 3 QBs. Who's getting the ball.

Similar to what RW wanted in Seattle. Now he's a Bronco.

The way that headline reads, the Steelers don't want him because he wasn't found guilty.

We really needed to see what we had in BC this year in anticipation of a tackle rich draft. I hope BC can develop into a stud LT because if we trade for DW, he's going to have to be. I think Campen can do a number with this line, as long as we have players with enough talent to be developed.

It's going to be really sad if after all of this, and all we likely give up for Watson, he decides to play out his contract and go elsewhere. Of course we can franchise tag him, but would you really want to have to force your franchise QB to stay where he doesn't want to be? He didn't want to be in Houston playing for a bad team and bad coach. Is Carolina really going to be any better.

If he requests a trade to Vegas this no longer becomes an issue. Plenty of legal rub n tugs in Nevada.

Which shows that the Rams offer wasn't as good as Carolina's or Detroit would have already taken it. They had to add more to make it work. And Stafford wanted a shot at a ring, and that wasn't here.

Of course they don't but you also have to be realistic. Stafford wasn't taking this team to a SB. 2 1sts from Carolina was worth more than 2 from the Rams because the Rams are the far better team, but we didn't offer 2 1sts. We are also coached by Matt Rhule, a 2nd year coach from college with no major wins and a coaching staff made up of guys with almost zero NFL experience. Carolina is/was a much better risk to end up in the top 10 vs the Rams. If Carolina had made the same offer as the Rams, Detroit would have taken it because the likelihood of the picks being better was much higher.

The Rams weren't offering top 10 picks, and what could be a top 5 pick next year. They fully expected to get to the SB which would mean pick 32 and then another late 20s/30s pick. Value isn't close to the same.
