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

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
