Albert Breer appeared on FOX Sports Radio this morning.

Drafting QBs

In discussing teams drafting QBs high, with none of the top four guys eligible for the Senior Bowl, no combine, and no private workouts, teams will get to see Wilson, Fields, and Lance throw live one time -- the pro day. Drafting a quarterback in the top 10 essentially ties the GM and coach's jobs to that QB. Will GMs be comfortable betting their jobs on a guy they've seen throw live one time? 

He also feels teams are over analyzing Fields and that in the coming weeks Fields might once again jump Wilson on some team's draft board.

Bridgewater nugget

Breer expressed a high level of skepticism that the recent story about the 49ers interest in Bridgewater had any validity to it. 

Watson

After talking to several people who know Casserio well, Breer believes that if Watson is traded, it will happen suddenly and quietly. "We'll wake up one morning, and hear he's been working all night and now the trade is done." He also said that if anyone tells you they know how it will play out between Watson and and the Texans (trade/sit/play), they're lying to you.

I will try to update this thread later when the audio is available.

Don't get Breer's thinking on Watson happening "suddenly and quietly".  Sure, the deal will be agreed to suddenly, but it's been anything but sudden and quiet.  If the Texans don't have Plan A, B, C, D, etc. thought of by now, that organization truly is more worthless than what it's shown.

Like I have screamed from the beginning, we should stay at 8 and see who falls.  No doubt Lance will be there and maybe even Wilson or Fields as well.

The Huddle will crash forever if we actually woke up to news of a Watson trade.

I have a bottle of champagne cooling in the pantry--and I have a suicide note for my wife and kids in the safe---both anticipating the Watson news.

(kidding--I would like Watson, but the expected cost is turning me away from it)  I would rather be the team that drafts and develops its QB of the future. )

He says he knows how it will play out then says don’t trust anyone that says they know how it will play out. Typical media. 

From the typical fan who said that a lot of teams are going to regret drafting Wilson......🤣

Except that's not what he said...

Breer said that as far as the final outcome, i.e. whether he's traded, sits or decides to play, nobody knows what will happen.

He believes however that if the outcome is him being traded, it will happen quickly and suddenly.

A similar sentiment was posted in one of his prior MMQB columns.

Yeah I'd prefer a rookie (Fields ideally) but I'm not adamantly against going for Watson, just depends on the price. If we do make the trade, even if we pay way more than I'd like, I'd still be absolutely pumped and excited for the future having an elite QB here and I'd just have to hope Rhule and Fits can make it work to build around him with less assets. Either way the meltdown here on both sides would be a sight to see...

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
