Draft is a month away, yall believe anything you see on the news. Imagine thinking Watson is less credible than the owners lawyer neighbor with a reputation for lying. Jesus

Could Watson be totally exonerated? Absolutely.

Is that likely to happen before Draft Day? Seriously doubt it.

Three lawsuits filed, three more pending... Does that really sound like something that's likely to get worked out in a matter of a few weeks?

Again, something crazy could happen but unless it does, this is probably gonna be going on for a long time.

I'm a bit skeptical that it'll last that long, especially given the questionable sources. People are rightfully more likely to react negatively, even compared to Vick as recent as 2007, but I think it'll take a bit more to completely discredit a man's career. For a more apples-to-apples example, see NASCAR driver Kurt Busch and the baseless assault allegations against him in 2015. He was taken out of the car for a couple weeks, even removed from his team's website, then it was solved within a month.

This ain’t about football to the McNair’s. This is about not losing a power struggle to one of the “inmates”.

That's what this really reeks of to me.

I mean if it does turn out to be blackmail type of poo I would hope the NAACP or some other power group gets Watsons back. I mean what if Watson just stayed they wouldn't have taken those women's cases?

There's obviously other stuff going on that has nothing to do with the women even if what happened is 100% true.

As I recall, that was one accuser. This is six (so far).

Guilty or not guilty, this is gonna be complicated.

It doesn’t matter if Watson is innocent or guilty though dude. The process is started and will not be resolved pre-draft or likely this season at all. Personally I think this does scream hit job by a fake ass lawyer and the Texans owner from what we know now. The forced BJ is not a good look though if they can prove Watson was in contact with these women. 
 

But that doesn’t matter. He’s going on the list no matter the actual situation. Thus he’s simply not going to be in play. The only way he could conceivably play this season is if his legal team can show irrefutable proof McNair is behind this and that sure as hell won’t be vetted and resolved before the draft.

Thats just the simple fact of the matter. 
 

It’s time to start looking elsewhere for this year.

It doesn't have to last very long. The draft is only six weeks away. Six weeks is nothing in our convoluted court system.

Don’t think anybody knows, can’t speculate.

The only people who know are the people directly involved, i.e. Watson and his accusers.

None of us know jack, and probably never will. We'll see the outcome of the case, but unless somebody flat out admits something, there will always be questions.

The number of accusers hasn't meant much in the past. Like with Neil there was this one chick saying stuff that turned out to be BS and pictures even came out that showed Neil did what he said he did and the other was a wine a cheese date that nothing happened and the other was alleged from decades ago.

The NFL is not going to move that quickly especially against one of their owners.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
