Expect a decision today. If that wasn't obvious already.

I know this is a guess, but what do you think our odd are currently. Also I praise you in all your glory

To me the real question is why is he worth more than Stafford or Wilson? Both those QB's now have a ring and have played at an elite level for years. 

So what makes Watson worth more in trade value? I honestly can't wrap my head around that.

Age might be the only answer

All Watson's personal foibles aside, if we trade what has been touted for this one guy, it is going to be a huge huge mistake that will haunt this franchise for a long friggin time.

It is a huge gamble and it could indeed backfire.

You typically have trash reject takes. 

Thank you!  Better than a DA wanting another Trashwater Darnold Minchew reject

I just don’t want to see the franchise lose Brown, Burns, Chinn for a guy who QBd a four win team recently. 

Get on the Watson or Pickett train because they're hellbent, those are apparently our choices.

 I wasn't down for this either but given the choice, I'd have to pull for Watson.

I still don't know how I feel about us acquiring Watson. We will be giving up a LOT, but on the flip if we get a top tier QB who can come in and immediately make a difference it could well be worth it.

Jesus Christ, we're sitting here waiting for a decision about Deshaun Watson, and you come in talking about Gardner freaking Minshew?!?!

Not really--he is talking about Gardner Minshew and Burns, Chinn, three first rounders...I see the point.  I am on the Watson bus, but I too wonder.  Remember, a former Saints backup took us to the Super Bowl.

What?

And Houston's record with him as a starter prior to 2020 was 3-3, 11-5, 10-5.

Exactly. He was basically putting up Kirk Cousins type numbers when the Texans we're actually competitive. His one elite stat season came when they went 4-12.

Interesting to see the stark contrast in tone of the two Watson threads at the moment.

The defense may not force five punts all season. 2015 Saints will look like the ‘85 Bears.

Why only focus on that? Stafford went from 3 wins in 2019 to 5 wins in 2020 and everyone jumping on his dick in 2021 wanting to trade for him.

The price is too high. He’s a good player but you’re just giving the Texans a couple Super Bowls. 

And, obviously, giving this franchise the death knell many expected from Tepper.

You think the Texans are going to the super bowl with our pieces?
