Yes.  That is in all likelihood very temporary, and then when its all finally settled, you have your superstar franchise QB for the next decade plus. 

yeah and it was "temporary" for Greg Hardy too. For anyone to say "in all likelihood" Watson will even play again is ridiculous. No one has any idea if this will go away. I'm definitely not betting multiple 1st round picks on it.

Hardy ended up playing again though...

When 20+ sound a lot alike...

There's either a group of 20+ who are all liars or Watson is the liar. 

Or there are a lot of gray areas and partial truths/lies all around. I find it hard to believe Watson didn't act inappropriately with at least some of them. Yet I also find it hard to believe all of these "instagram massage therapists" thought these were strictly innocent massages...

All drafted by the same damn attorney. Who can put in complaint whatever he wants. You don’t think he had an interest in crafting a compelling, cohesive narrative?

You really think he found 22 women - all presumably confirmed to have provided massage services to Watson - to tell the same story?

At very, VERY best Watson is a 1st class creep. He's most likely a serial sexual predator. Before all this came out, I was 100% on the train. Go get me Deshaun Watson. No expenses spared. Now?

Okay.  You cherry picked some bad stuff from the 13 games of a young QB on a bad team. 

How dare I give you information that you lacked!  The shame!

So you believe that since his body is his livelihood, he was flying in Instagram women from out of state who aren't licensed massage therapists solely to take care of the body that is worth literally hundred of millions to him over the next 10 years rather than using the licensed professionals available at or through Texans' headquarters? 

Come on, don't be so naive in your quest to white knight. 

Oh know he was not using team professionals because of what he was planning to do. This thought process is from the women being flown out for his massage. I’m sure the rich and famous fly them out and other professionals for all sorts of goods and services. If he was expecting something different there are different professions that handle that. 
 

So you think this man hires professionals massage therapists and does “consensual” sexual acts with them? Then texts then the next day apologizing and all 22 of them are just crying sexual assault for money. You think I am the naive one… If they normally do this type of business wouldn’t this be a career ending move by all of them?

I wanted to pull this one out in a separate post.  They are 1-5 and just lost to the worst team in the league.  YAY!

Again, they have a winning record with Tua.  Tua wasn’t the QB for all those losses this year.

did you watch the Jags/Phins game?   Is your argument Tua is why? Tua played well.

I mean if you wanted to single out that part, you could of at least attempted to disprove it.

Speaking to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he hasn't "done any work" on other quarterbacks leading up to the trade deadline. 

"I believe Sam (Darnold) will be a great quarterback for the Carolina Panthers," Rhule added.

Rhule was the local sports station here in Charlotte before the season started and stated that he was just trying this year to get the most out Sam and hopes to show the most progress in his second year. I don’t expect any change at that position unless something drastic happens, or at the end of next year.

I knew his face looked like a radar antenna.

not all the women making accusations are (or at least were not initially) represented by the same attorney; not all were even seeking legal recourse, but telling their story about sexual harassment.

tbh, I have not kept up with the Watson case since it became very clear how long this was going to take, and I was more and more disgusted by his conduct the more I read.  there are many, many, many summaries, extensively sourced, that should deeply disgust and concern anyone looking at this situation objectively.

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer

      Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
