I think that you have to absolutely try.  Franchise QBs don't grow on trees.  If there's a way to make it happen, you have to see.

Houston is a dumpster fire right now.  They traded their best WR last year, they have alienated their franchise QB, and they don't have a lot of team to build Watson.  They need to maximized their assets moving forward to rebuild the team.

It doesnt matter who it is, a qb coming out of college has huge question marks

when you're picking this high in the draft, the general operational mentality is that you're getting a player of Watson's caliber, the trade off for the latent uncertainty being that it costs nothing to acquire said player and responsibility falling on the shoulders of those who were given the job of developing the talent given to them if he fails

A 25 year old all-pro HOF track QB goes on the trade market once a decade at most, and more likely once a generation.

I don't ever recall it happening in my 25+ years of following NFL football. Jay Cutler getting traded from Denver to Chicago is the closest comparison I can recall off the top of my head and Cutler wasn't on Watson's level considering his turnover issues.

Draft picks #7, #10, #24 and #199 of the remaining QBs in the playoffs.  Watson was a 12th pick.  So it comes down to skills, coaching and organizational decisions that determines a QBs success.  Yes, there are some busts, but many times guys drafted to be franchise QBs are let down by their organization rather than just not being all that good themselves.

If you trade burns, suddenly jon snow guy has a really strong argument, this team has their QB but no means to build at the essential spots around him

You people aren’t willing to trade 

 

Vernon butler

shaq thompson 

kelvin Benjamin 

DJ Moore

CMC

Derrick Brown

brian burns

our 1st rounders from 2014-2020

Hate to burst bubbles, but CMC is the only one who is anywhere near watsons level.

 

DJ Moore is great, but people look at him a little too much through black and blue glasses

 

for Deshaun Watson?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
