It's only been 4-days since the news hit...

...you predicting all of DW's sponsors will stay put?

i have no earthly idea what his sponsors will & will not do?

however i do find it a very interesting fact that not a single one of them has terminated their relationship with Watson as the matter currently stands.

The real question that is not being discussed is whether we can afford to take the chance to wait until after the draft to bank on trading for Watson.

I don't believe we'll do that, but we do have Teddy in the event that Tepper wants to gamble. Wouldn't it be ironic if Bridgewater was a reason why we decided to gamble that Watson will eventually be OK to continue his career?

Take this political nonsense out of here.

I think it's very much apropos to the discussion.  Doesn't matter if it's a politician, businessman, movie director, actor, athlete or what. 

So it's fair to introduce Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby into the discussion too?

Both will die in prison despite none of their accusers ever filing a police report at the time of the incident in question...

Just for comparison's sake, Dannon cancelled Cam Newton's sponsorship deal less than 24 hours after the Jourdan Rodrigue "routes" incident. 

I guess that (while nothing that big of a deal) was on camera. The Watson thing is just accusations right now with no presented evidence. Once the NFL or courts make some sort of decision on this, then the sponsors may have an easier time terminating the contracts.

I don’t think that anyone has an idea. I just do not like people saying that he is guilty when only one side of the story has been heard. Perhaps he never plays again, or perhaps he does,   but at this point no one knows.

It is what it is. For comparison's sake, from what we know so far Watson's behavior pales in comparison. That, and the fact that rich guys may even be able to get away with literal murder, I can see where Watson may not be in as much trouble as some believe. And, to be fair, he hasn't even been proven guilty in a court of law. 

I believe this situation is going to get a lot uglier. IMO, all the defense really has to do is impugn the testimony of one of the witnesses, or possibly even the veracity of some of Buzbee's personal claims (e.g., he doesn't know the McNair family), then the case(s) starts falling apart.

this is like literally one chance in a lifetime. so sure thing it's going to be very interesting to see what the outcome is going to be?

there has never been in the history of football a. QB like DeShaun Watson in his prime on the trading block

      Sellers is absolutely one to keep an eye on. Could be the next Cam or could be the next Anthony Richardson. Curious to see how he has progressed come this fall.

      I think Texas could go 0-12 and he would still go #1 based on his name and traits like you say.  But nusselman and sellers may be actually better qbs.    Man if bryce stinks it up this season its looking like a damn good year to swap out qbs.  Sellers highlights are just fuging jaw dropping

      I mean, the kid comes from a wealthy family. It's not like he needs the money. He has a ton of potential now we get to see what he can do as a starter. Everyone penciling him in as the #1 overall pick is putting the cart way before the horse. It's 5% because of his talent and what he's showing on the field and 95% because his last name is Manning. And if he is what he's hyped to be the Texas coaching staff needs to be answering some tough questions about why the kid wasn't on the field sooner. Ewers was a good college QB but he's definitely not a "keep a future #1 overall pick waiting" type of college QB. Only getting one season out of a top NFL talent because you chose to keep him buried behind a borderline NFL talent is just coaching negligence. Not starting him as a true freshman? Yeah, I get that. But on year two if the kids is what he's hyped to be you gotta wish Ewers well elsewhere and turn the page.
