I think you're reaching...just a bit.

LOL! I think you're a yoga master at this point with the reaching you've done this off-season convincing yourself that he won't be traded.

There may not be any fire yet but it's so smoky you can't your hand in front of your face.

I'm not convinced that he won't be traded. I just doubt it.

I also doubt that if he is traded it's to us, though I grant that's possible too.

But come on, dude. Paying a backup quarterback in the high five millions is not exactly a sign from God.

I'm gonna guess you're not being serious here.

Let's say his base contract is $5M. That would've made him the 4th highest paid backup QB last season. That is big money for a backup. Teams with young entrenched MVP caliber QBs with a bunch of other roster holes don't spend big money on backup QBs. He's gone, man.

So why would he sign an incentive driven contract if he’s not expected to play?

And this. These agents are connected. His agent didn't push for him to sign an incentive laden contract if he didn't expect a decent chance to check some of them off. They know he has a good chance to start some games this year in Houston.

See above.

If the Texans sit on Watson through a holdout they're even dumber than I thought and I already thought they were the dumbest franchise in the league.

This is one big difference with me and some others.

I see people actually saying to themselves "Cal McNair can't possibly be that stupid."

To which my response is 😳

You do realize them using this much cap space on a QB will piss off Watson even more and make it more likely that he’ll cement himself further in his stance of never playing for the team again? If the Texans were convinced they could wait Watson out or still try to make amends with him they would not do this deal, they’d look to improve the roster around him. He’s as good as gone, just a matter of time and how ugly it gets.

      I did get some coin in on the Knicks to win the whole thing at +3300 immediately after they won game two and before their odds made a huge shift so I'm not mad at this news. I don't expect them to win but I'll probably be able to cash for a good amount if they make the finals.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Horn and T-Mac will get matched up a lot, but it won't be 100% of the time, nor should it be anything close to that. Yes, it would benefit T-Mac's ability to get better at beating the press, but it would also be a detriment both of them for them to be matched up too much more than 50% of their reps. Neither is likely to end up going up against similar players in games, not many teams have WRs the size of T-Mac and not many teams have CB's with the physicality of Horn.  Horn needs to work on covering smaller shiftier WRs as well, just as T-Mac needs plenty of reps against smaller CBs so he can work on using his frame to body them out of position.

      Tatum tore his Achilles it looks like. At least watching the injury that's what it seems to be. He's probably out all next year and Boston sucks and gets a lottery pick. :insert eye roll here:
