Smoke screen to end all smoke screens

Pat on the back for myself.  So tired of the dozens of threads bout the Panthers trading for Watson.  I mean how many more can any of us stand.  If it happens cool for y'all.  I'll enjoy playing the hindsight game and talking bout the picks we traded.  We will see who was "stupid" one day.  Or we could win a super bowl every year Watson is under contract.  😆 I have my doubts.  Shid he never did it in Houston.  Hell how many playoff games did he win? That's par.  

Yeah this one will age well. Bye

Not disputing that Rivera overstayed his welcome.  I'm talking bout how people were calling for his head one year before a coach of the year and 15-1 season.   

Guess what if you know anything about football that had nothing to do with Rivera and all about Cam. Thanks for showing me how smart you are!

Unpopular opinion and personal pipe dream.  Watson is a smoke screen.  We are driving up the price and also keeping our profile high.  Smart move would be to let the chips fall where they may and reap the benefits of the market settling.  

Unpopular opinions are fine but I'm afraid this one doesn't make any sense.

If you're hoping somebody above us in the draft order makes a trade for Watson, why would you drive up the price?

That would actually make it less likely that they make that trade.

Ok do any of y'all play poker?  Ok Tepper is at the table with all the other high rollers do ya think he ain't gonna put chips on the table.  He is gonna be involved.  Does that mean he is gonna go all in on the Watson jackpot?  The Jets and Dolphins are the chip leaders and can make bigger pushes but we got a play.  Is it the one we need to make?

This is maybe one of the worst analogies I have read on the Huddle.

If the Jets get Watson, then the Texans will draft Wilson at 2. It doesn’t really change anything for us. Whoever gets a QB, another team has to lose that QB which gives them a need. 

Unless, Darnold is included and the Texans opt to rebuild their garbage OL by drafting Sewell.

So be it, who gives a fug a 25 yr old franchise qb not in his prime we have some money and picks still to work on oline. Gimme a break if salary cap was such an issue Saints wouldn’t have Brees, Thomas, Kamara, etc. Y’all need to learn this isn’t the old nfl.

Brees is retired...  and the Saints are 70 million over the cap still lol

Yea i've been taking up for a couple of people on here lately but this scenario seriously just doesn't make any sense unfortunately. I have another drug bender in me to be up all night like last time but damn I just can't for this one.

Bioshock it is then

I was totally with you until I thought this through and realized this doesn't benefit us at all

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
