No way. He’s accused of +20 counts of sexual assault. What is wrong with you?

Unless this is all some weird conspiracy and he his totally innocent (spoiler alert, it is not), I wouldn’t go near him.

What don't people get about this ... and shouldn't Watson be canceled for this?

Would you trade Jeff Otah, Star Loutlelei, Vernon Butler for Watson? I sure as hell would.

We could totally get at least a first for CMC on the open market. 

No. Every halfway decent franchise knows paying a RB a huge contract like CMC has is not smart.

And what about the not halfway decent franchises?

Nick Caserio runs Houston nowadays .. he's from New England. CMC really doesn't hold much value anyway, he's missed most of this season so far and missed nearly all of last season. Huge contract, often injured.

People care more about their football team than sexual assault victims, that is adamantly clear.

Bullsh!t, not with his injury history and wear and tear. A 2 or a 3,4, next year 3.

Using Football Outsiders Offensive Line Adjusted Line Yards(Running Performance) and Adjusted Sack Rate(Pass Blocking performance) from 1996 to 2021, here are the rankings of each unit:

1996: 12th, 17th
1997: 2nd, 13th
1998: 17th, 24th
1999: 20th, 19th
2000: 31st, 31st
2001: 22nd, 8th
2002: 29th, 27th
2003: 12th, 9th
2004: 24th, 8th
2005: 13th, 9th
2006: 23rd, 16th
2007: 19th, 15th
2008: 8th, 9th
2009: 18th, 18th
2010: 27th, 31st
2011: 5th, 21st
2012: 30th, 21st
2013: 14th, 25th
2014: 27th, 22nd
2015: 12th, 21st
2016: 25th, 19th
2017: 25th, 19th
2018: 11th, 9th
2019: 17th, 28th
2020: 13th, 17th
2021: 23rd, 23rd

So, in 26 years that breaks down as such:

Top 8 Running Unit: 11.5%
Top 8 Pass Protection Unit: 7.7%
Top 8 Run/Pass Unit: 0%

Bottom 8 Running Unit: 26.9%
Bottom 8 Pass Protection Unit: 19.2%
Bottom 8 Run/Pass Unit: 11.5%

'97, '03, '05, '08 and '18 were pretty good overall units based off those stats.   Again, '03, 05 and '08 were when Gross was a young stud.  Outside of that, it's like we lucked into a couple of good units...literally TWO.

Lack of overall investment. We just have not prioritized it in the past 20 years.

at the end of the day we could trade for prime peyton manning..it means nothing if there is no line blocking for him

[rd10388]

I think Watson is the best option. I don’t think any trade will be done before deadline. Just go ahead and write this season off, and I say we try like heck to get him during off-season.  

[GoobyPls]

I’m in the camp of drafting a QB in the first round.

 

I think Watson is to risky right now, way to much uncertainty.

[DamnItJake!]

I’ll pass!! I think we need to get the offensive line better and look for a new offensive coordinator!! We are a young team and I like a lot of the potential on defense!! The offense needs another year to get better lineman especially a new center!! If Rhule struggles next year and the defense is great still promote Snow!
