I kown another Watson thread but I found it interesting! What say you?

[bobcat91]

No to Watson. The players and picks that we would have to give up would hamstring us from being competitive for years. It isn't worth the cost. 

[Mr. Scot]

That's funny coming on the heels of the whole "bold prediction" thing.

Former Eagles president Joe Banner made a comment yesterday indicating that he doesn't believe the "three firsts and McCaffrey" offer is even "close to enough" for the deal to happen.

Watson is more than even elite. After Mahomes, he's the most valuable player in the league. If you get a player like Watson, you just need an above average supporting cast to be fuging PERENNIAL Super Bowl contenders. You can get that above average roster through second, third round and free agency. Which, get Watson and you become a premier free agency destination. It is insane how overrated our young "core" has become. None of them are untradable if a player like Watson is actually on the table.

ESPN got a ton of attention on that Newton prediction.
 

This is nothing more than trying to cash in again.

What was the Texans' record last year? An elite QB is crucial, but it takes a team - a concept that may be compromised by the loss of assets and cap.

If three ones and CMC aren't close to being enough as Banner says, then Watson is likely staying a Texan. Holdout will be the likely outcome.

Texans tanked because they are a Evangelical grift posing as a football team.

This is Yates' rationale (as quoted by Weaver)

“I’ve been on record forecasting Watson to Miami, but recently my tenor has changed with more support from the Dolphins for Tua Tagovailoa and the Panthers’ previous aggressive pursuit of Matthew Stafford. . . Houston has no interest in trading him away right now, but we know this has already been ugly. If you ultimately trade away a franchise quarterback, moving him to a team you play once every four years is preferred to an in-conference foe (assuming the offers are comparable).”

Regardless of where you stand on the Watson trade, that line of reasoning is pretty weak.

Obviously, but there's definitely a cutoff point where the value won't make sense. 3 first round picks, Burns and another piece is too much in my eyes, if that's what they want. Burns is worth 2 first round picks easily. 5 first round picks (1 of which is guaranteed to be top 10 in a loaded QB draft) plus more just doesn't make any sense for us, even to get Watson. I'd much rather take a shot on a rookie QB and have him on that cheap contract plus keep the rest of our pieces to build around that guy if the price for Watson is that high. 

[Shocker]

Just do it already

How is that reasoning weak?
