Huston is in a corner and no one wants to let the blame fall on them. Dude is going to have to holdout.

I think holding him to the draft to drive up cost is what's going on.

I'm very afraid we're falling into a trap to get robbed blind

That would be savy, something Hoston has not shown they are capable of.

New GM and HC are going to avoid it and Easterby will spin it to his advantage. It's all the makings of a train wreck. It might result in some fun friction but I still think Watson will have to sit to prove to that owner he can and will. Maybe the GM talks some sense into the owner but I'm not sure anything reasonable is possible with that much dysfunction.

Sure will be ironic if we end up trading up to #3. Then we'll know exactly what that win against the WFT cost us.

Every thread this is brought up I'm going to remind everyone that we lost to the F'n Broncos at home,  with Drew Lock throwing 4 TDs. That was an excellent loss. Why is no credit given there?  How about losing to the corpse of the Atlanta Falcons, also at home?

Oh, don't get it twisted. I put 95% of the blame for that situation on Rivera and his idiotic personnel decisions. If he plays Heinicke that full game we lose and we're sitting at #3. But, noooooo... he has to give Jamarcus Haskins a shot.

I would be wary about giving up too much to move up. Take Sewell or another top LT if all 4 are gone. Take a G/C in the second and extend Moton. Sign a Mitch or someone similar as a placeholder and then you can go all in next year with a solid offensive line for the rookie. Rattler, Howell, JT Daniels are 3 that should be in the draft next year that have some potential off the top of my head.

In reference to the QBs, I don't know if the HC and GM look at it like that. I don't necessarily think that they're just going to essentially say, "Let's take whoever is left," especially if the kid they really want is available at 2 or 3. Furthermore, they may not even believe in the guy that's left. If they can't get their guy, then they should probably trade down or go BPA.

I don't really believe Houston is trying to drive up the cost.

I genuinely believe they're going to fight tooth and nail not to trade Watson.

Whether or not that's the best course of action is debatable, but I do think that's what they'll do.

Reasonable, and what Breer said here makes me wonder if he believes we'll do that.

I know we're "in on every deal" but I don't really want us to be "in on" Darnold, and definitely not on Wentz.

I'm not scared by Darnold, if there are no other options...however, it's going to need to be no more than a 2, and I would probably be a little shy on that.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
