Apparently Buzbee has been in contact with the police.  At this point I think we can eliminate the possibility that this is just some conspiracy or smear campaign.  No lawyer is about to hand over knowingly false information.  And considering there seems to be 9 different women, with no relations to each other, all with similar and corroborating stories?

I mean.  Man.  I don't know how people can look at this any other way than what it clearly is.  And it makes you wonder how long did Watson know about the possibility of this happening, and if it had something to do with him wanting out of Houston as much as he did?

If he's guilty (and I do still consider that an "if") the only thing that I can figure is that as a young, rich, professional athlete he might have believed he was untouchable.

Heaven knows young people, and especially young athletes, often think they're invincible. Fame and money don't exactly diminish those feelings.

If all of this is true and this lawyer asked for $100,000 or whatever it was to settle. You would this he wouldn’t think twice to throw money at this issue? This is all very strange...

Watson may think that he didn't do anything wrong because if someone said no he didn't push them.  But comments about making or breaking someone's career, which were in third case involving oral sex, is definitely coercion if true.

That figure's getting thrown around here some but it's not necessarily accurate. Watson's quote said Buzbee asked for "six figures". I don't remember seeing anything more specific than that.

And as mentioned before, that's Watson's word. Don't know if there's any other evidence of it happening (text, or email or anything).

My guess is that he has a pattern of blurring the lines between massage and consensual...affairs.
In my opinion it borders on coercion with unethical behavior between a masseuse and a client.
For this reason it may not criminal, but a violation of ethics and speaks to his character. 
When the lawyer went in social media and queried for other instances these women felt that they experienced the same thing. 
Unless there are criminal charges that are brought forth by the police, then I still see the result being restitution and different perspective on his character that is questionable.

Almost certainly.  No matter how the rest of this plays out, unless literally every single detail is false, then Watson is gonna get suspended.  Look at what they did to Zeke who had far, far less going against him.  NFL always suspends if not doing so will make them look bad.

If they find the stuff that's being alleged believable (especially the parts about him forcing a kiss, forcing oral sex and trying to force someone to touch his penis) then I'd say a suspension is likely. Might even be a pretty significant one.

So is betting the farm... on a possible 3-8 game suspension worth the reward?

Exactly, it could be the whole season.

I don't care about a few game suspension in and of itself, but I do care about the reason he is being suspended and the likelihood of what else is involved.

Yeah, but he will probably play again and for any team that wants the talent that maybe all that they are looking for. 
For any team that acquires him, it is a strong possibility that he gets a handler that protects their investment and shields him from future incidents.

Oh hell, no.

Honestly, if the part about him forcing oral sex turns out to be believable, I don't see how anyone could sign him.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
