It's happening. (Probably)

Completely agree.

As good as Watson is, I think if I was in their position I'd do the same. Yeah you're rolling the dice on a talented rookie panning out and plenty don't but you're also retaining a boatload of draft equity that would otherwise be headed to Houston.

I don’t understand all the people that possibly think this ruins us, you give up a few first round picks for and elite quarterback, and 1-2 of the decent players from last years roster. You still have 6 rounds of the draft to build through and you have an Elite quarterback! One who can actually throw the ball down the field, and with accuracy. This is a no brainer.

If we do end up acquiring him, I really hope we at least don't give up this year's 2nd round pick, so many potential starting OL will be available by that pick.  I know our defense will take a hit with this trade but if we can get someone like Alex Leatherwood, Jalen Mayfield, Wyatt Davis, Radunz, Eichenberg in the 2nd...Our offense is going to be crazy.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
