Not charged yet, but expected to be.

And if he is, those charges will include forcing three women to perform oral sex on him.

You comfortable with that?

 

I dont believe my comfort plays any part in this.

Watson, like anyone else deserves his day in court.  If/when that time comes the burden will be on the prosecution to prove his guilt.  If he's guilty they'll (hopefully) prove that and if hes not, then he's not.  I am not going to judge the guy based on my limited knowledge of the situation.  We should all be afforded as much.

At least among the intelligent posters it should.

Would there still be morons suggesting that we try to trade the Eagles to get him? I'd like to think no, but... 😕

No matter where he ends up, there will at least be a portion of people here that won't ever let us forget about how we should have traded for him. Especially if he is still dominant.

I would think your years of Huddle experience would have made this situation obvious.

He likely will get his day in court, and it's probably going to be messy.

But that situation is exactly why you don't trade for him right now. Until this situation is resolved one way or the other, you just can't do that. And this is the view of pretty much every team in the league at this juncture.

You can say "conditional picks", but the Texans have already indicated they won't go for that. And I wouldn't place any bets on them changing their mind. Plus if they do, I'd probably be asking myself why.

Your comfort absolutely plays into this. Are you comfortable with a serial abuser running your Offense. If so, then you are probably in the minority.

 

And he does not have to be charged with anything. Here is still responsible for his own actions. And those actions were reprehensible to 20+ women.

Legal facts mean nothing to people like @iamhubby1. People like him base everything in life on feelings.

I'm not sure I would go with that Defense. He is still responsible for his own actions. Actions that have a lot of people looking at him differently.

For the record, Watson has admitted that some sexual activity occurred between he and some of his therapists. He states however that it was consensual.

Given the number of accusers, it's probably fair to say that's not a good sign.

Until he's convicted these are just allegations.  Civil suits, no matter the number or outcome or use of NDAs, does not equal guilt.  Thats not my opinion, its the law. As citizens if the united states we should all be afforded as much.

Has Watson been convicted of anything?

You invest in the future with a contract.  Do you give $100m to a man who might be convicted of a crime of this nature when the entire nation knows that you knew about it and decided winning was more important than human decency?  We need to value women, not exploit them.   

Second point--the reason the NFL is so popular is their brands.  The logo and what it represents.  If you think Tepper should risk tarnishing the brand to try to be more competitive, you would be wrong.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
