But he gets to choose where he goes. If he wants the Carolina  then we will get him. It isn’t like the Texans hold all the cards. 

That's not really true.

He can veto trades, yes, but the Texans aren't just going to give him away for less either.

You also have to ask yourself what Watson wants. Right now he's more likely to want a trade to Miami or SF than the NYJ, or Carolina. We're still a ways from competing and we wouldn't be able to add much help for a few years with a blockbuster trade.

True. Which means we'll probably have to give away to much. Guess I'd still rather get behind exciting losses, rather than expected losses.

I so get it, but I'm thinking about 3 and 4 years from now. I always try to think about it as: Where do I want to be from our rock bottom point?

I think you can build a roster and compete for Super Bowls in 2023-24. I think some of these big trades push that back to 25-26 with our current talent level. We'd just end up with teams that are good enough to make the playoffs, and not good enough to win it all.

I think if anybody's hoping that he's got his eyes focused on the Panthers and no one else, they're gonna be disappointed.

It's like the 5th place team during the College Football Playoff selection time when Notre Dame is at 4, and just lost by 75 points.

Sure, in theory, you should be in the College Football Playoffs, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Guys we have a big advantage here.. the two teams that can offer more than us are in the AFC!!! NO WAY they trade him within the AFC right?!?

I would wager only the AFCS are the only ones they will really not want to deal with.  While the general preference might be the NFC they aren't going to turn away a good offer from a AFC not in their division.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
