Houston will let Watson rot

While it's true that the Texans have painted themselves into a corner, the team owner may be willing to deal with the fallout of holding Watson to his contract.

Time is the enemy of all NFL players.

DW needs to play to get paid. 

It’ll get ugly. They are prob betting on him not wanting to give up the money or let his teammates down. 

I have a feeling that locker room is so F’ed up right now that the players would be disappointed if Watson played.

He should start a go fund me to sit out the year and send it around the league...lolz

Haha, wouldn't surprise me at all.

Watch the billionaire team owner start a go fund me as well.

Then, watch as a bunch of minimum wage workers donate their hard earned dollars to support their favorite 1%er.

I don’t think they will. If they do Watson should throw picks every time they have the ball. 

Haha...He wouldn’t do this, but he could screw them so bad.

I wonder what they would do if he sat them down and said...

Look, if I stay I will ignore every play call. My hammy might tighten up every game. You’ll have to bench me if you want to win.

Trade me or pay me to lose games.

We see this situation exactly the same. I don't see Wilson, Fields, or Lance as "can't miss prospects". There seems to be a sense of desperation to get a franchise QB in the 2021 draft even though we are more than a QB away from competing for a division/conference title and all the QB's above have red flags despite their talent. 

I actually think if we spent this draft beefing up the roster on the o-line and defensive side of the ball we'd be laying a strong foundation for the next 4-5 seasons. With an improved o-line and a healthy McCaffrey I believe even Teddy would be more effective in 2021. He isn't the future in Carolina, but he isn't the worst choice to hold things down for 2021.

When 2022 comes you would have room leeway to package some picks because a lot of our roster holes would be filled.. The team could move up to grab a promising QB prospect in the draft or acquire an established QB via trade or free agency. The 2022 starter (whoever it may be) should have a more talented and experienced team around him than the 2021 starter will.

 

Exactamundo.  I sincerely hope this is how this year's draft pans out.

The problem with that theory is what does it do to his value to the next team?

He is only tradable if others want him.  It they see him purposely stinking it up, are they going to take the chance?  Sure, he's good, until he doesn't want to be, then he is not only not good, he is purposely bad.

He would be cutting his own throat in that sense.  Sometimes you can do something that compromises your own integrity so bad, nobody wants to touch you.

And that assumes his own teammates don't take their own revenge during practices.

Interesting find and the logic is also interesting,

How many teams are going to wait until June 1 to make their QB move?  OK, they save money they can't really spend--$10m you say, but they miss out on the bidding war?  Am I missing something?  They are telling the niner fans to be patient, wait till june 1, then Watson is a Baybilly?  I would argue that this will not happen.  Watson will be gone or the Houston starter for 2021 on June 1.

That’s why I said I don’t think he’d ever do it. It would hurt his rep and future earning power.

    • I just keep the main thing the main thing.   The equivalent here would be you raging about Joe Brady needing to be fired.   Me saying, Matt Rhule is the issue and firing Joe Brady doesn't address the biggest issue at hand and won't actually matter.  Which is a dance I did then too.  You then call me a Joe Brady apologist because I wouldn't get away from Matt Rhule being THE problem.  the main problem is Bryce Young and his supporters in the front office.  Until that changes, nothing matters.    Canales being a weak OC in over his head? Time and a place.  You can go check my threads from preseason where I blasted amateur hour  Canales for not calling plays.  He needed work because he isn't good.  But that's not the biggest issue we got.   Like I said, nothing really matters big picture until Bryce Young and his backers address THE problem.  Which is the QB.   I have gone into painful detail about the entire Dave scheme is dependent on a QB bailing out a meh scheme and approach.  I didn't want Dave.  Dave is Foxball in reality.  Which is what Pete did in Seattle in reality.  It's the same approach and it needs a QB to bail it out.   You want me to bash stuff I addressed long ago.  I'm no Dave fan.   But the biggest issue for the Carolina Panthers is Bryce.   I want the outcome that leads to Bryce Young not being retained.  That's what is best for the Carolina Panthers.  You want 2 more pointless wins notched onto a meaningless season if it means just another completely pointless season tied to Bryce?  Not me. 
    • Canales comes across as this uber positive, cheerleader guy, but he does seem like he can make a cold decision when needed (see: Bryce benching, calling out Coker, a few others).  Something about him makes me feel like he's a bit sneaky with how he can get.  He's the type where I think if he's just in a room with Tepper, he'll let it out about what he thinks to save his ass.   And even with the wins, I just don't see much camaraderie between Canales & Young.  They don't reference each other in the usual QB-HC tone/dynamic in pressers and games.  It seems like Bryce is still trying to prove himself and Dave is still just not impressed, trying to figure out what even works with the kid. My gut says he won't be shy to explain to Morgan and Tepper what he needs to succeed.  And that doesn't include Bryce.  Barring some epic turnaround, the book is close to being written.  He will have more leverage.  If he's gifted a 3rd season, I highly doubt he's going to look and say, yep, let's just try it again with Bryce.  That isn't happening.  
    • Underrated part of all of this. Feel like it was Kaye that reported that NOBODY wanted to touch this job, so we had to go with someone not really even getting interviews/hire someone too early.  A. Tepper is dumb to have not listened to Harbaugh if it's true he wanted to be here, since that was the only name I remember being *potentially* tied to us B. You can cycle through QBs every single year. You can't do that with coaches and expect to hire anybody worth a poo. Even if Canales sucks, optically we almost have to give him 3 years minimum to prove we're a serious team for once and not scare anyone else off.
