It's happening. (Probably)

You're just being negative in hopes of it coming across as pragmatic. This is a 25 year old franchise qb, rare situation and upside. Stop it

Yeah dude that’s exactly what I’m doing. Woke up this morning and decided I’m gonna jump on a message board and come across as pragmatic to a bunch of people I couldn’t pick out of a lineup and vice versa. 
 

I literally woke up with those exact aspirations, but will now stop because you told me to.

Omg if a safety linebacker hybrid is a deal breaker over getting QB2 you prioritize the wrong things lol

No doubt but Chinn is truly the first blue chip Safety we've had since Mike Minter. Historically this franchise isn't very good at finding those guys. I'd understand not wanting to let that go. 

Worst case scenario I hope we can retain Chinn, DJ Moore, and one of Burns and or CMC/Brown.

I doubt Brian Burns or Derrick Brown will be traded if that is what you are looking for. If I had to guess look for Shaq Thompson, CMC, Jeremy Chinn, Robby Anderson, or Donte Jackson to be in the mix. We don't have a ton of insight on the exact details, but it will be more pick heavy than anything.

Not Chinn.... please!

Chinn????? No way. Best player on the defense?? He's the new QB of the defense, I'd be livid if they traded him for Watson. 

Chinn’s positional value holds no weight. If we got out with not trading our young dlineman we would be in great shape. Chinn is a baller and a future pro bowler. But dlineman are wayyyyy more valuable.

How about, 'IMortgagedtheFutureoftheTeamfonaLotteryTicket'?

Watson is not a lottery ticket, unlike a draft pick. The team will have a steep hill to climb to be successful and that's where the leap of faith comes in, but he himself is a proven top-tier performer at the premiere position in the game and that's why the price is so high. I say that as someone who knows we need to move on from Teddy/QBs of that ilk but has no preference on whether it's a guy like Watson or somehow through the draft.

I will say though that if the Watson thing happens, it says to me that the team doesn't believe the rookie they believe in most (assuming it's any of them) will be available without a similar spend. Beating Washington really made things complicated and expensive.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
