Deshaun Watson Update

From the article...

Don't expect the Texans to seriously entertain moving Watson until much closer to the draft – all the better to keep trying to drive the price up – but if/when they do, the Panthers will be motivated to make it happen. Yes, the Jets and Dolphins, for starters, may have more additional draft capital, but I suspect the Panthers will be willing to get quite creative (including emerging pass rushing force Brian Burns in any package may be even more attractive than McCaffrey, though that dual-threat running back could certainly kick start an offensive resurgence for any young QB should the Texans prefer to draft a passer in the event Watson is in fact dealt).

Yeah, with JJ gone if I am Houston I want:

Brian Burns

8, 2022 1st and 2023 1st

For starters

Honestly CMC and his contract don't interest me and I ain't taking Teddy either.

John McClain believed the asking price would include two defensive starters.

I know some folks are thinking the Texans would settle for somebody like Shaq Thompson but that doesn't really sound logical to me.

I’m not trying to be ugly but how in the hell would you know this 

Verge's source is mostly a friend of his who is a pretty high up scout I believe for an AFC franchise and has generally been in the know. That doesn't mean that they're right about Watson as even those that are really connected in the league probably don't know, but Verge has a pretty spot on track record especially with draft related stuff the last several years. I take him much more seriously on draft stuff than I do any other local or national NFL media honestly.

Yeah, pretty much 😆

Joking aside, I'll be one of the first to acknowledge the Texans are stupid but even I don't think they're that stupid.

Could easily see them asking for Burns and Chinn, or at the very least Burns and Jackson. And while I'm not the biggest Donte Jackson fan, that still makes me wince.

Yep. The track record is proven, even when I'd greatly prefer it to be wrong. *cough* Greg Little *cough*

I like CMC but if he is the piece that is needed to get it done you do it. Franchise QBs are rare. 

What if it's Brian Burns and Jeremy Chinn? Or Burns and Donte Jackson?

The Texans are believed to want defensive starters in any potential trade.

If you are down to give up 3 firsts or whatever, you have to be down to give up 4 as well.  Once you are in the game, you are in the game.  Realistically, there should be no price too high to get a guy like Watson.  First round picks are HUGELY over-valued by most people.  The Rams have not, and will not have a first round pick for nearly an entire decade, and they are one of the more successful teams around lately.  They deal their firsts for proven superstar players.  Not a bad model to follow.  Draft picks are unknowns.  Established talents are not.

You’re not wrong. But there has to be some line. I’d probably be better with giving four 1sts than three and cmc

Houston will want players over picks, so I have no problem with a Shaq Thompson + Burns if we only throw in 2 firsts.  But one of the players has to be a big contract, and Chinn and Burns is not that.  Now, we could offer TB (the contract purge), Burns and Chinn and a first rounder for Watson--but not 2 or 3 firsts.

That would give Houston an emergency, backup QB, a pass rusher, and a S/LB.  I would rather not lose Chinn, but if that is the deal, I count him as a first rounder.

    • 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
