That was somebody "playing hardball" with Watson. His reputation was fine until this sort of class action round up of "accusers" before his public statements of not returning wanting a trade not showing for camp.

He was an outstanding guy before he got out of line. He's back in line now. Isn't he?

Everyone has his day in court to face the charges . We should wait and see how Darnald plays before looking at another QB .  Watson needs to redeem his image and we need to look at all of our options before paying a high price that would hamper our chances later .

His public image was "outstanding".  This often bears no relation to the actual person.

We still lack a significant amount of overall experience. That is an issue, IMO. That applies to the coaches and players, really.

Even if you were to drop Watson into our roster for zero cost, I think we are a little bit away from being a SB caliber team.

If this draft class turns out to be a big hit, I think that will change.

Honestly, I do too. But if you put an MVP caliber QB on this roster we'd make some serious noise as long as our OL proved serviceable.

Yeah, aside from the QB, that OL is just such a glaring roster weakness. It's stark. 

And this is under the assumption that the rest of our offseason moves were mostly successful. It is entirely possible that we might not be a successful team even with Watson just yet.

Ideally, we know a LOT more about our overall direction after 2021. As bad as it seemed in 2020, we left that season being pretty positive overall. I want that to continue in 2021, regardless of the win totals. Although a big jump there would go a long way towards getting the fanbase much more excited.

What exactly has changed with Watson since his career became a dumpster fire (even if it may be a temporary one)?

Nothing except he reported to training camp. 

The situation hasn't gotten better. The price hasn't come down. We've moved on and rolled our dice. Let's keep moving forward and quit rubber-necking that accident scene.

I don't have an issue with us continuing to kick the tires as the situation develops. 

It isn't like we may not have a chance that a QB is a big need during the season. Darnold has an injury history, he is a bust and his backups are not dependable.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
