Tepper needs to stay out of this.

We can't overpay for Watson.

Not saying im in alignment with this deal, but is it safe to say its an overpay? We really wouldnt know until 3-5 years from now. If Watson comes here and continues on his track record, and we send then burns and brown in return, but burns struggles with injuries and turns out last year Brown's talent was actually his ceiling.... did we over pay?

Then the inverse is Watson comes and gets hurt and they go to be pro bowlers. It's just tough to say what is overpaying in this situation, especially since this is the first time this has ever happened in the league.

Tepper will give them whatever they want eventually, maybe after talking them down a pick and a player, but we will do it, a lot of fans will whine about it, but they'll pretend they were FOR it the whole time as we're winning the division year after year

He doesn't need too.. Texans do not want him anyway by the looks of it. Give them our 1st this year, our first next year, throw in some other tier drafts.. and maybe Samuel.

25 year old standout franchise QB - assume you have them for 10+ more years.

24 year old standout defensive player still on rookie contract - assume you have them 2-3 more years and then let them walk to the highest bidder and draft their more athletic replacement.

If we give up too many picks we won't have anyone to play with him.

If we are giving him 40 mil a year we won't have enough money to have anyone to play with him. 

I'm seeing getting Watson as crossing a Volcano on a tightrope. 

Is he a dominant machine yell fng yes. Would I love to have him hell fng yes.

But the more I think about it the more worried I am that Tepper will screw this up. 

He's pretty stupid. Definitely stupid enough to screw us.

How can you say that the richest owner in the NFL is stupid?

As for the money piece, there is no way that the Panthers dont restructure Watson's deal once they land him.... I expect them to match the Mahomes contract or standardize that.

Here is the thing. We are in a position to trade up to get a qb where as the Texans only option is to trade Deshaun for picks.

I believe the Jets want to build around a rookie and the Dolphins are the same. Falcons and Eagles can’t do it, Detroit won’t do it due to rebuild, eagles can’t do it, Bengals have theirs...there are things not going in Houston’s favor to garner a QB.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
