The Watson cloud just got three more accusers.

Dang.  I am starting to think that you are behind this---just to keep certain huddlers off your case.

Seriously, they had this bullet in the chamber for a while.  It sure seems as if they decided to fire it now, which means ??

I wonder if they (Texans) had knowledge of this and threatened to release it if...

I have been in meetings all morning.  I need to catch up on my reading.

Really surprised he signed a pure backup deal this early in the process. I would've waited to see if someone's draft plans didn't workout or even for an injury in camp or preseason to open up an opportunity to compete for a starting role. In Buffalo, he's obviously purely a backup.

There's a good shot at a Ring with the Bills right now. Might be pretty nice.

He wasn't getting one with the Bears any time soon. Some say back-up NFL QB is one of the best gigs on the planet. 

Oh, I'd definitely take it for sure but if I was a former high 1st round pick I wouldn't exactly be strutting around pounding my chest about a Super Bowl "I won" as a backup.

Oh I would. The best defensive line to offer when mocked would me, "Okay, show more your ring."

And really, he's one injury away from starting QB of a really well-built team with good coaching and a lot of momentum in a weak, weak, weak division. All in all, not a bad roll of the dice for a guy who never should have been taken as a first rounder in the first place, much less at #2. Had he been a fourth rounder who started at the Bears, we'd have thought he did okay-ish.

No doubt. Too soon to go this route. And if it’s as a backup, pick a team that doesn’t have a 4th year QB entering his prime. Take less and audition behind Big Ben or Fitz or anyone not a long term starter already.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
