Not saying that you won't end up right, but not saying that you won't end up wrong either. There are too many unknown details and a highly suspicious situation to draw conclusions at the moment.

There is absolutely no way this situation is cleared up anytime before the draft.  It took the NFL forever to do its investigation on Antonio Brown.  You could argue they have more of an incentive to expedite that process with Watson, but it still wouldn't be finished by the draft.  And the Panthers are not going to turn down trading up for a QB just to hope the Watson situation maybe clears itself.

You flat-out can't trade for a player who could potentially have 9 women accusing him of harassment/assault/rape.  It just isn't going to happen and I think Schefter said that before the 3rd report came out.  Teams ain't about to give up hella draft capital for that, and at this point the Texans may as well wait because they aren't gonna get 50% of his value right now.

Yeah this is your opinion, nothing up to this point has been precedented at all so his guess is as good as yours as to what's gonna happen by the draft

Lol dude I will literally bet you $1000 right now that this is not cleared up by the time the draft hits.

Take it or leave it.  You really think civil court and the NFL's investigation (which has been confirmed to be happening) is going to be done within the next month and a half?  If so, I have a bridge to sell you.

It's over guys read the room. When it's all said and done I get the feeling it's going to come out that the Texans knew about this and sat on it. Whether or not they have anything to do with the timing of this finally becoming public remains to be seen but it's quite suspicious with everything that has already happened in a month or so.

I’ve been on the Deshaun express as long as anyone but I can read a room.  9 women and counting?  Yup, trade is off the table, damnit.  At least not for anywhere near the original price.  Guess I’ll just resign myself to watching poo QB play for another five years

This doesn't prevent them from pursuing another QB.  Hell they still have time to find another one before the season starts.  It's not the end of football as we know it.

If anything it makes it more likely we trade into the top 3.  I mean if we can trade for Watson, we can absolutely put together a package for the #2 or #3 overall pick.

Hell why not go for Trevor if cost is not a factor?  Why not trade for Brady or Mahommes if you want franchise QB that badly?  I don't get the obsession with Watson at all costs, especially since this come out?  I mean damn this is getting insane.

 He said they can't let inmates run the prison while they were protesting police violence, the players understandably took offense. I got the year wrong, changes nothing

 

It was almost 3.5 years ago and the guy has been dead for 2.5 years...

...but don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative.

Watson wanted out. None of the other options you listed are feasible.

I have a hard time believing they would move off the 1st pick for anything less than Tepper buying the Jags and trading the pick to us himself.

    • 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
