It's happening. (Probably)

No idea. Friend said Watson situation is "nuclear at the moment". Team will likely move forward in the draft. 

 

after today's developments, I was feeling this was inevitable.  Glad we didn't make the trade before this broke, it would have been devastating to give up that much and have the implosion happening now.

thanks Texans, for playing hardball.

Totally agree with you. We dodged the bullet and time to move on.

The fact that all of the major sports sites have pushed Watson to the bottom of the web pages is telling after three months of non stop headlines... regardless of outcome this has nuked any trade.

I believe in the case of the Houston Chronicle, they've moved Watson discussion from their sports page to their front page.

That's usually not a good sign.

Well Verge did say to close the thread, someone trolled the other one to being closed so that's all you gotta do so just bring dood in here @Baba Yaga come on over. It's all that needs to be done anymore if no one can be fuged to just remove one problem poster from a situation.

When everyone else is posting just fine

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • 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
