How many Superbowls has Deshaun won, or been to? Those players minus Christian have been to, or went to one.

How many Super Bowls had Peyton Manning been to 4 years into his career? 

How many Super Bowls did Dan Marino win? 

How many did Warren Moon even appear in? 

Deshuan Watson is special.  Always has been.  From the first game he stepped on the field vs Florida St as a freshman to now. 

Now, can we debate if cost is worth it? Sure.  But he is exactly what teams are looking for.

Two 1’s and Bridgewater.

Anything more is just too much.

I think history shows the team giving up the farm for a player loses and the team getting all the picks usually wins  (Saints with Ricky, Vikings with Herschel)

I'd go two 1's and CMC as my no higher mark. 

and as a franchise I would quit paying RBs.   A lesson we never have learned.

May take three firsts, a current player and maybe a second to get Watson. To put this into perspective, would you trade away players that could become three pro-bowlers and a good role player for their one QB? 
 

So, that is a Luke, Ryan Khalil, Christian McCaffery and Shaq Thompson for Deshaun Watson. 
 

As much as I would like Watson here, I do not believe that I would make this deal.

Or its Kelvin Benjamin, Shaq Thompson and Vernon Butler for Deshaun Watson. 

Can cherry pick first rounders all you want. Bottom line is the draft is literally an unknown. Watson however, is not. 

 

Also Ryan Kalil* was a 2nd rounder, not that it matters much in the pretense of this argument. His brother was a top 5 pick though so if you want to include him we can.

If we're high on his list, I wonder what guy we have to ship to HOU could put the trade over for the Texans.

They have needs all over.  I would make Shaq available in this. 

2021 1st

2021 3rd

2022 1st

2024 1st (We keep 2023)

Shaq Thompson

Pot sweetener: Donte Jackson

--

We send Teddy off in another manner/form.

We get:

Deshaun Watson

2022 2nd (They're going to be awful, this could easily be the 33-39th pick, same as a late first)

Fitbit said in this introductory pressure that there's not that much difference between picks 20 to 40. Seattle traded back so much, he's used to not having a 1st round pick. He could make it work.

Watson is 25. You've got a decade of high level QB play, maybe more, plus all the marketing to the Clemson fans you thought Trevor would bring the franchise. 

Absolutely worth the deal Barnwell outlined.

I think that's an incentive to seek a 2nd rounder from HOU in 2022 or 2023 if we're going in on this.  They're going to be baaaad and that pick might as well be #33-39. If it takes (3) 1st rounders, then they should throw in a 2022 2nd.

A sprained watson acl puts us back in the top 10.  

I once watched Watson on a torn ACL complete 74% of his passes with 4 TDs to destroy his rival SEC opponent. 

Some kind of mythical creature, he is half man, half god, half possible Centaur, but I’m not sure, but either way, I wish he was my dad…

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
