It's happening. (Probably)

It should also be mentioned that starting in 2022 Watsons cap hits will be 21% of the projected salary cap.... no draft picks and certainly no FA spending sprees.

We will more than likely shed Teddy’s $20 million hit next year which would be over 10%. So we are looking at a 10% increase with far superior QB play. We will have money for FAs.

There's no real comparable situation to this, honestly.  Hard to know the outcome. 

This is definitely a gamble. But I'm happy to have an owner and GM willing to gamble to win. Playing conservative hasn't gotten us a superbowl yet. 

The line between gambling and stupidity is a fine line my friend.

Our defense allowed 62 fewer points than the Texans...  The Texans scored 34 more points than us, despite having a QB that accounted for twice the TDs...  Our roster is more talented and/or better coached at many positions... but not the one that matters most.  Even if our defense regresses *next year*, we have multiple years to build more talent around Watson and win it all.

Build around Watson with what? The draft picks you're trading to acquire him? Lol

You just threw that out there, no one wants to part with all that

Thats been the main reports for sure on the draft picks, three 1sts++ have been on every report as the starting price. Two defenders was in others, the "GET WATSON NO MATTER WHAT" have posted about including Chinn, Burns, Brown. Doesnt matter so long we get Watson. With the current roster and OL, what is your limit?

The cap savings on shedding TB is wouldn't be the full 20m, But I am curious how you get a 10% increase, even disregarding that fact how going from a 20m hit to a 40M dollar hit is 10%.

There is a chance we could be tho. The range of possibilities actually has a chunk which consists of worse than the last 5 years. Again look at the Jags and Jets. If we fug up we could end up in a couple of years of cleanup before we talk turnaround. I would use the Texans as an example of how bad it can get but they are special bad right now. 

turnaround? we already suck and have for a while. the texans had 10 wins the year before last and 11 wins the year before that. I bet they are much worse after watson is gone though.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
