I have this strange feeling that Watson will be our starting QB for the next 12 years.  And yes, anything we give up will be worth it

Watson will be the TD, passing, and wins (reg season and playoffs) leader in Carolina by the time he hangs them up.

 

And he will be holding up a Lombardi trophy before it’s all said and done

Smartest move Texans can do is get rid of him while is value is high. Watson price plummets for Texans the longer this goes on ... and at the point I think Watson is Carolinas too lose ... 

only plummets after the draft.   Stock probably can inch higher until then.

Im not sure I can get behind this being good for Houston.  Is it really better if you were questioning if he would play for you again vs being told to your face he isn’t playing for you?  

Whether it's actually going to turn out good for Houston? No idea.

That they see him talking to them as a positive as opposed to him not even answering their calls? Probably.

The Texans are going to lessen his trade value if they refuse to entertain offers until he starts sitting out actual activities.  You can't try to force someone like this to play ... even if they call his bluff it'll be terrible for the new coach.  Better to build with a bounty of draft picks and good young players.

If they truly are committed to not trading him, then hanging on to him long enough for interested teams to go in other directions makes sense.

And if he's committed to not playing for them (which it certainly seems like is the case), all they'd be doing is shooting themselves in the foot. There will never be a shortage of interested teams. The price will just go down. Texans just hurt themselves by playing hardball, considerably more than Watson would hurt himself by sitting out for an extended period of time if he truly won't ever play for Houston again.

There will always be a market for Watson, even after the draft.  But the market will be hottest before it... barring something exceptional (like a team going all in this year having a catastrophic QB injury in training camp)

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
