Go Get Watson

Our defense isn't really that good.

Throw in that we'd likely have to give up one or more of our better defensive players as part of the trade.

They are a billion times better than that 2020 Texans defense. Just remember a lot of these defensive pieces are in there 1st 2nd or 3rd year. Room to grow more. And the last part you don’t know yet. But I’d be ok with packaging burns as long as we resign reddick. If we don’t package burns then don’t resign reddick.

There are so few QB's  in the league, like we saw over the weekend. 6 of them are franchise QB's.

Green Bay

Tampa Bay

Buffalo

Kansas City

Cincinnati 

L A

S F and Tenn QB's are  good, but not next level.

THEY ARE SO FEW,, That when one of them becomes available via the draft or trade, you have to try to get him,  then build the missing parts ( O LINE , etc ) .

No, you don't go after a Tannyhill and not work on the O line first,  But a franchise QB , they are rare, and you have to have one.

If we don't get Watson then you know what's coming. 0-17.

I like Watson, but the 2019 Panthers held him to 160 passing yards and no TDs.  That was the Kyle Allen led Panthers.  He isn't Jesus and he isn't going to come resurrect or Lazarus offense alone.

Not real sure I buy that.

Phil Snow's schemes got figured out pretty early in the season, and truth be told the adjustments needed to beat It weren't really that difficult.

At this point, any team that can run the ball even half decent can own us pretty easily.

We are not a quarterback away from competing.

Might be. Cinci gave up like 9 sacks and still won.

You're also not ''competing'' without a quarterback, whether it's Watson, or someone else.

Common sense thing to do is keep the first rounders and draft our own QB and build around him. Those rookie deals for quarterbacks are very valuable.

Yeah, until we draft someone or have a viable option this won’t go away unfortunately 

It will never go away.

Bet you didn’t watch that Texans defense in 2020

I watched all of the Panthers in 2021.

We're not a good defense, not at all.

I already did. They had the worst defense in the league. Watson kept them in games only losing by 8 points or less except for 4 games. They only got blown out once. He is a total freak show putting up over 5k total yards and 35 tds and he’s not even hit his prime. We however don’t have the worst defense in the league with a very strong core of young talented pieces that plays well with a lead. 

They won the same amount of games without him this year.

Terrifying that the owner might be as well.

We've trended far more into the "almost certainly is" sphere than I expected.
