This team has some odd fans. Get a top 5 QB? No. Let’s build through the draft and hope we hit on a QB! Yay! Let’s also win a meaningless game! Hurray! 
 

DeShauns worth the next 3 first rounders if I’m honest. 

The Rams have not had a first round pick since 2016 and they seem to be doing OK for themselves.

And when those few pieces get injured and the loses start piling up because you have no depth or heaven forbid your high priced big name qb that you traded away all your capital for building to acquire then what?

if we're planning on using 1st round picks on depth pieces then we should just go ahead and make this trade

 

look, i get what you're saying, but the argument here centers around us being pretty well structured and in position to build a great team, not that we aren't so and can't afford to take the chance

It’s Deshaun Watson and you guys would turn him away. He is massive potential actualized, not some maybe draft pick. You act like we won’t be able to draft a soul in the entire draft for 5 years. You act like we can’t sign anyone in FA. You don’t let an elite young QB pass you by. He’s a franchise changing player.

Turn him away? Hell no!  We can't afford him.

Lol come on man. CMC is 24 years old. His best days are not behind him, and he is going nowhere.

The amount he has played through college and his pro career is really high. He probably has as many touches as another RB who is 30. Not saying CMC isn’t still a great player but he will never achieve the numbers he put up in 2019 again. He wouldn’t stay healthy for another season with that kind of usage, few players would. History has shown us that time and a lot of touches aren’t kind of RBs. If there’s a chance to trade him for Watson, I do it without hesitation.

Who said use 1st round picks on depth?  I get that you guys are star struck over Watson but the reality is he alone cannot do it all.  You need a complete team and brother this team is not complete, not even close.

Texans are not in a position where getting  CMC back is even an option for them. Plus I doubt caserio takes a superstar contract back, he will be leading a total rebuild. Ground zero rebuild.

Say if the Texans/Watson "relationship" gets so toxic they are forced to outright cut him and he decides to come here (for some odd reason) and only wants $20 million a year.  I'm all for it.

However, being the Huddle, this Watson debate will undoubtedly get twisted.  It's only a matter of time.

And that strategy has rarely ever worked.  We will see what the Bucs look like next season once they get bounced from the playoffs.  

Packers live off of free agency/trades... Chiefs too... Bills as well. It's not a Bucs strategy. Even though they are the topic right now.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
