The Texans sucked with Watson. We had some sucky years with Cam. An elite QB makes up for a lot, but it can't make up for everything.

You used them sucking as a reason that you changed your mind on him being overrated, yet don't deny that they still would've sucked with him last year... I think Dak is a solid QB, maybe even a "franchise QB" but nothing about him says he can actually carry a team like the true top tier QBs and if he's going to be more like a Kirk Cousins type "franchise QB" then we would need a damn good team around him to actually win a SB with him. A damn good team we wouldn't be able to build easily because he's going to come with a massive contract, and potentially requiring giving up assets to the Cowboys in a trade. If we could draft the equivalent of Dak at 8 overall right now I'd be 100% for it. I do think he'd be a tremendously valuable QB at a certain price, but not for what he'd get on the open market or what he'll get from the Cowboys when they just extend him this offseason. We're much better off getting of the top 3 guys in the draft who actually have the potential to be top tier QBs and who will be on rookie deals, even if we do have to trade up for the one we want.

Yeah, they sucked a lot worse without him. They were 2-3 with him and scored 30+ in 4 of those 5 games and we're competitive in all. They only scored 30+ three more times last season after he went down and they were playing bad teams in all three.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
