There’s no way they accept that but I’d offer it. Any QB we get in this class would be *lucky* to play at his level. He’s performed well even with trash around him, an awful coach/gm and an owner who has no idea what he’s doing. 
 

Give him DJ, Robbie, Curtis and CMC and we are in the playoffs every year and finally have back to back winning seasons the day he shows up to the stadium.

that’s the same draft capital it would likely take to trade up and get wilson, and have him on a rookie deal for 5 years

But Wilson might be a bust. He might turn out okay. The odds he turns into anything as good as Watson are very slim. You can trade up for an idea or you can trade for the real thing.

Doesn't really matter either way.

Do you think if Watson waived a no trade clause, the team would suddenly become more agreeable to trading him?

It matters immensely in regards to the language of the contract, the player has all of the leverage.

In this particular situation it probably won't matter, I do agree with you that there is little chance the Texans do try to trade him, but the possibility is still there.

Just because you misspoke you don't have to discount it.

I think the Texans get a good laugh out of that suggestion, given that they've already said it would take three firsts, three seconds and a player in order to even "start the conversation".

If they said that, I'd laugh at them. Watson's desire (or ire) may bring that price down a bit.

Personally seems like a reasonable trade for both sides, but only if Watson is so disgruntled that he is going to make a huge stink in Houston. Otherwise I don't see Houston going for it. From Carolina's side,  you weigh the upgrade from Teddy and the qb you might have available at 8 compared to the lost value of the extra 1st and 2nd round pick. From Houston's standpoint, you swap Watson for a cheap rookie qb with Teddy on as a cheapish 1 year bridge, restock the draft capital you desperately need and go full on rebuild mode. But again you'd only do it as Houston if Watson basically demands a trade.

Coach speak.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
