Rapoport believes Watson will be traded before the deadline

Rhule tap dancing all around Watson questions…

This franchise has gone full Madden GM mode. The problem is the reset button comes at a huge cost in real life.

Nah. This team still has holes on defense that need to be addressed as well as on offense. It'll take more than a WB and 2-3 new Oline guys to compete.

Disagree. Name any team that has zero holes. You aren't even going to have pro bowl caliber people at every position. Offense: All star RB when healthy, legit starter (rookie) backup, good enough TE, excellent WR corps. Defense: Top 5 DL, legit LB corps, elite CB crew if Horn comes back healthy/CJ pans out, serviceable safety. You add a Top 5 QB to that roster and figure out the OL with another 2-3 guys to just get it in that 12-16 range you have a super bowl roster. Not saying the coaches figure it out, but just from personnel that roster gets it done.

We have Jets fans clowning us and we just suffered through one of the ugliest losses in franchise history thanks in large part to our starting qb. Get the deal done.

This would be a long term move for a 25 year old elite qb. This season doesn’t matter long term. It’s what happens if he’s still on the exempt list the following season. You gotta think the org has talked to the league and also legal counsel if they’re willing to give up that much draft capital and players for one guy only for him to be banned from the league. If they didn’t and are just winging it then this will be a disaster of epic proportions. I just don’t see us doing that unless we’ve had clarity. 

Winging it?! This organization had signed Teddy to that stupid contract, made a stupid trade for Sam and even exercised his 5th year option.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are calling in telephone psychics and reading smoke signals before making decisions

I would be okay with it IF we get all of our picks back plus extras for players traded if he gets suspended.

Yeah, Sam will definitely start next week.  It'll take at least a week or 2 to get Watson up to speed enough to actually start.

Just because he gets traded to a team doesn't mean he'll stay there past his current contract. Adding to that, giving up what the Texans want for him would be a major mistake while the team is rebuilding. Pulling off a huge trade for a QB is the kind of thing you do when you're ready to make that Superbowl run, not when you're trying to rebuild.

Watson is still a young QB, so any trade with him in mind doesn't have to be about a team that's immediately ready to compete. It appears that most of the detractors here just don't want to acknowledge that acquiring Watson is about the long game. Sure, there is risk. But, Tepper doesn't fear risk, he built his success upon it.

What's the difference between a "criminal complaint" and being "charged with a crime"?

I'm not trying to be snarky. There are 10 criminal complaints.
