Turns out BB and his Patriots are not that great without the greatest QB of all time lining up behind center.

In Belicheck’s defense, that team was horrendous, Brady would not have changed that. Some have even said Brady leaving was more about Tom seeing the team was bad and wanted out. Jameis threw for 5k yards with that Tampa O (one of only four QBs to ever do it I believe) and the Bucs added Gronk, AB and Fournette.

at some point you have to say that it's much easier to replace CMC or Burns than it is to trade for a proven franchise caliber QB like Watson

I agree 100% with this statement, BUT, giving away our 2022 and 2023 first rounds picks as well makes it a lot harder to replace anyone. This still sounds too expensive for me.

CMC, yes.... Burns/Chinn - please no!

If we are giving up three first rounders in addition, we will have a real struggle surrounding Watson with talent on both sides. 

Yeah, I think if we can make the move and keep Burns, Chinn, Brown, and DJ Moore we are coming out on the good. 

CMC, Shaq, Donte, and YGM are some guys I could see them having interest in, and I am okay losing one or possibly two of them for Watson

Breaking News!

Tepper wants a franchise QB.

What NFL owner doesn't?

The question is not about what NFL owner wants a franchise QB.  The question is: How much is an NFL owner willing to spend on a franchise QB--how much is the owner willing to sacrifice? Is the owner willing to give up what essentially constitutes four or five first round picks (when you take into account that legit stars, CMC and Burns, were first rounders and are still young)? The answer has yet to be determined.

No disrespect to Gross-Matos, but if you're coming from the perspective of trading away a player like Deshaun Watson (while needing to replace a franchise legend like JJ Watt) and I offer you a rookie rather than a guy like Brian Burns in return, are you taking my offer seriously?

If it were just about any team other than the Texans, I'd say they were doing it right by showing a lack of interest in trading their QB.  It seems to have only intensified the rumor mill and raised the ante for Watkins in the media.

Yeah, drive up the price by claiming you don't have any intentions of trading him. In a normal scenario, absolutely the way I would handle it.

The problem is, the cat is already out of the bag that Watson has no desire to play there ever again. So, dragging ass is only going to result in fewer available suitors as the offseason(or perhaps season) progresses.

They should have capitalized off the Stafford trade feeding frenzy and struck while the market was red hot. I think they end up remaining stubborn so long that they miss out on the max haul they could get.

I am not the Texans, so I can't really answer that question. However as a Panthers fan I am just posting my opinions on my preferences. Do I believe they could have interest in YGM, most definitely. Looking back on last years draft, some view him as a top 15 pick in a re-draft. Obviously Burns would be more valuable, and obviously they would rather have Burns,  but that doesn't mean they would totally discredit the idea of YGM if it was negotiated between the teams.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
