Out of respect for the mods I’m going to say I respect your point of view, but believe the situation in Charlotte was far worse than that. If this comes up in the TB I’ll be happy to elaborate. 

I wanted rid of Newton for a good few years - nothing to do with his skin colour, everything to do with his play on the field. I was accused of being racist (an F150 I believe is the race-baiting term that is used?). 

It is what it is.

Moving on from Newton was a business decision. Of course he's offended, he was here 9 years (and earned a good chunk of change in the process!), but that's the nature of the game.

Who wouldn’t love you have him?? It would be amazing. 
 

Reality though is that we don’t have the Cap or the assets to get him.

Shipping a 1st in 2021, 2022, CMC, Teddy, and KK (salary dump) would/could make this work and give us the cash to resign Moton and possibly Samuel.

The malcontented Watson and the Texans were 4-12 this year. However, a lot of people in this group seem to think we can wreck our rebuild for many years to obtain him and he will perform some type magic that would instantly make us Super Bowl contenders. The supposed price to get him would not be worth the reward in my opinion.

And the Texans played 10 games against good playoff teams while in or recovering from the BoB $hit$torm.

Watson led the league in passing yards, threw for 33/7 and 70% comp with ONE 1000yd receiver. 

Against 7 playoff teams Teddy threw for 1000 fewer yards and a 15/11 ratio with TWO 1000yd receivers.

I still think the Jets could make a major play for Watson.

 

They have 5 first round picks in the next three years.  Also their #2 pick this year is probably worth about 3 of our first round picks(think what it would cost for us to move up to 2).

 

Ding , Ding, we have a winner!  The whole idea that Watson created this sh!t storm and has final say is Madden-esque at best.   Dude decided to upset the apple cart (COMPLETELY his prerogative) but to assume he has 100% say in his future is delusional at best.  He is under a CONTRACT.

He has a no trade clause. It's up to him if he decides to accept a trade to a club he doesn't favor. The alternative is, he could sit out until the issue is resolved to his liking.

   With the cap space, and extra picks you showed so they could survive losing those picks.  Sure would be logical. And they could keep their high 2nds too.

You are correct and the Texans know that as well.  It's not like they will forfiet all the games.  In that scenario they take a flier on a 1B type guy  and roll with it.  At the end of the day, holding out only hurts Watson.

but at some point he might decide that getting traded anywhere is better than not getting traded at all.

Its really a big game of chicken and who blinks first.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
