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.

    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
    • The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
