This could get ugly. They just need to part ways.

It was always going to get ugly. The Texans don't want to move a 25 year old elite franchise QB. If he's going to get moved they're going to force him to be the bad guy so they can spin it to their fanbase that they moved him because they want guys who want to be there. Trade compensation won't be an issue. He's a 25 year old elite franchise QB. Those guys just don't become available. There will be no shortage of potential suitors.

Looks like worst case scenario. Watson is done but someone/s with the team can't back down. What a mess. No one is giving what they asked and it looks like Houston is dumb enough to make him sit. Bell did it, every indication is Watson could. 

Hell, Houston isn't even talking to people about what they're willing to offer.

Plus they're currently building the coaching staff, and will likely build their roster, with the idea that Watson is their quarterback.

If this changes at all, and it might not, it won't be anytime soon.

It'll change. Those who really want him are going to have to be patient. Are Panthers fans willing to roll the dice and and risk being stuck with Teddy for another year? This will likely linger way past the draft. 

I doubt that. If he gets moved it'll be before the draft, but there's still a month and a half before he can actually be traded so might as well use that time to try to work things out.

If Houston 100% is against trading him, heres what Watson could/should do. At some point you have to report. Then play terrible, each bad week, his values drops. So Houston at that point has to either bench him or trade him before his value gets lower. Bold move, dont know if Watson has it in him to pull that off.

Somebody mentioned this idea earlier in the thread.

I pointed out that doing such a thing comes with the very real possibility of pissing off your teammates who would actually like to win games and aren't necessarily up for the idea of tanking an entire season just so you can get a better job somewhere else.

And if you should happen to piss off the offensive line guys who are supposed to be protecting you from getting killed, well...that's a bit of a dangerous game.

It also would probably turn off a lot of head coaches. 

Can't have a franchise QB acting like that to get his way. 

Rhule wouldn't have it.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
