Well that brings me to the PJ Walker vs Teddy talk of last season. Neither one is going to allow you to be consistent and successful. For two very different reasons. my preference is the less risk adverse QB. PJ. More entertaining. The total wins IMO will work itself out to about the same. Give or take a game or so. Very few elite QBs aren’t game managers. We have a tendency to claim weak QBs that don’t make a lot of plays are game managers. I disagree with that. Teddy isn’t a game manager. He did that poorly. He is simply risk adverse.

Yeah from the jump the primary theme from him seems to be hey, look at me. I’m Buzbee. And I’m doing all this. now the Houston PD is some miniature deep state that can’t be trusted. largely because he is Tony Buzbee. But stay tuned and Tony will tell you who can be. the women should break from him or at least have a segment that go elsewhere as a group. High odds he is going to be the reason Watson gets off. Team Watson is going to have decent odds of sinking the groups credibly simply after Buzbee does something predictably dumb. Which is a lose/lose for actual justice. A lose for the women if the vast majority are legit. Buzbee taints them. A lose for Watson if it really was bogus as people will just assume he got off because of the lawyer.

I think it is a perfectly reasonable stance to question this attorney and discuss the red flags he brings to the table..... and have that be something completely separate from the allegations. It doesn't make the allegations false. But Buzbee remains a giant red flag. If these allegations are real. Which they may be. You really kinda wish they had someone else representing them IMO. Buzbee is the type slimeball so fixated on himself that he likely could be harmful in a legit case.

I mean you can argue Rodgers, Peyton, etc are all the ideal game manager. Part of being a great game manager is to know when and where you have to take calculated shots. They routinely play for another down or series. They also know when to chuck it deep. They know the moments you can and can’t play it safe. Teddy IMO isn’t actually a game manger per my view. Teddy is risk adverse.

We tried to go up and get Peyton Manning. We should of made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. Something insane.

Bama QBs from the 60s don't even count. No QB from Bama in recent decades has been a legit NFL starter yet. and it's only Watson from Clemson. I think the problem is less Ohio St QBs...than it is QBs that ran Urban Meyer's offense. Which isn't Fields. He is a Day guy.

I think a lot of that is bologna that gets repeated. Lot of that is just the schemes. If he played in Clemson's offense people would say he makes quicker decisions. Bucky Brooks I think has a good video addressing some of these false narratives about Fields. There is some comical lie repeated on the internet about how some anonymous source with a team claimed he threw to his 2nd read a comical small amount of times. as Brooks explains, you then go watch his film and you realize that is just repeated internet nonsense on social media and not true.

Otah was a beast. IMO, the best run blocking T we have ever had here. I mean, they hit the talent. Can't predict injury. I have never been an Otah hater. The not in a good way reference opens up that whole can of worms about thinking drafting and then paying multiple first round RBs as some formula for success.

It was one of the boldest first rounds IMO the Panthers have had in a draft. It wasn't a Stewart diss. We had just drafted a first round RB. Then we spend another first round pick on a RB (which was pretty nutz) and then after that went right back into the first round and surprised everyone. out of all the 10 billion predictions, no one was close on that one.

I think Thomas Davis was a great example. Sticking with a WR and making him the face of the franchise that physically assaulted 3 of your players in non-football scenarios was pretty bold too. Odds are high most teams likely part with those at some point. Stewart/Otah draft was pretty bold and not in a good way.

and as a Trevor Stan....I can admit in the two games we watched of Clemson /Ohio St, Fields was the best player on the field. I still have Trevor 1. But Fields is still 1b. Ohio St having COVID is simply that. Fields is a monster.

I literally said I don’t know if he is a good DB and that opponents didn’t act like he was that good. Some frankly gameplans IMO appeared to target him. but yeah, he is a good athlete. We just witnessed that fact

Horn worries me. As bad as the Gamecocks were and all the places opponents could attack them....teams didn’t seem to try to avoid Horn. Horn is a super great athlete. don’t know if he is a great corner. Opponents didn’t seem that worried about him IMO the little I watched him.

he took it to the UTSA Roadrunners. What more do you want.

You either do none or you got to do 90, 1, 89.

Well, we don’t know that 100% for sure. Nothing is ever 100%. We know that NFL teams have a history of helping protect their important players... it could be plausible they gave up helping protect a troubled asset. That wouldn’t be the Texans creating the mess.... and at least based on the statement by Watson’s attorney. Some with the franchise knew about women/worrisome behavior/ money demands, etc to some extent. So you would assume that everyone knew. would be interesting to hear when the attorney first heard of Watson’s rumblings and his overall relationship with Texans people.

Again. I got no interest in comparing horrible thing to horrible thing and arguing which is worse he was on camera assaulting a woman. He just inked a new deal this past season. The question is can the NFL step up and punish guys that can still play and make absurd money for people. Sharper was retired. NFL did a good job hiding Kellen Winslow Jr and protecting him too....when he could play. NFL likely could of prevented some of his crimes if they outed his insanity earlier. Which we learned was apparently well known.

Kareem Hunt just got a contract extension last season. NFL sadly knows their fan base pretty well IMO. that’s a me too era contract. And there was video on him.

Kobe did escape it. A large portion of young fans never even really new about it. Fans in general forgot. Didn’t care. He became a NBA goat and beloved face of the sport. some people remembering doesn’t mean in practical terms he didn’t escape it.

#metoo era doesn’t seem to care if an offense was committed in present day or the past though does it? We will see. Maybe you have faith in the NFL and major sports actually doing what is right despite essentially never doing the most bare bones possible. I certainly wouldn’t object to it. Sports has a sad culture of almost aiding in a lot of really horrible things. Would be nice if that gets broken.

He already wears #1 because of Cam.

I wasn't really trying to draw a direct comparison.....just pointing out with multiple different examples how the NFL and sports in general is pretty gross about not caring and punishing athletes like it should.

I mean the 49ers coach essentially admitted it today without technically saying it.
