Hey would absolutely get heckled and fuged with in Atlanta too.  Its not like they're some monolithic society down there.  Im sure there are many, many people who live in Atlanta who are disgusted with Watson, just like anywhere else. 

Kinda funny. In Charlotte, no one would care nearly as much at Atlanta. That's the funny thing about this.

The truth is right now Deshaun probably is concerned with what community would accept him the most. The answer to that is Atlanta, no doubt. Hard to put a price tag on not getting heckled or chastized when out and about. 

Falcons will go 4-13 over and over.  But at least Watson will somehow throw for 30 TDs and 4000 yards.

I doubt anyone messes with him in public.  During games yeah sure people will try to get under his skin but his "scandal" will blow away in a couple of months.  Do people fug with Ray Rice, Tyreek or mixon in public and what they did is arguably light years worse then DW?

obvious where he's going, just trying to find Ryan a home is all.

Easier said than done. Indy just got rid of a guy with worse stats, and is younger than Matt Ryan. Not sure why they would trade for a dude that's 37 and has 20 TD's from last year.

Probably the most sober take of this week.

I can imagine a world where they take meetings with teams and judge the local reactions/sentiment.

Yes I was thinking the same, except we are in a better position to actually do that than both teams. This all seems so odd.

I’m just sitting here thinking that’s probably the most depressing part of this.
The Panthers have the ability to sign him, put talented pieces around him and has a staff plus an owner that are head over heels for him. Yet, it seems that he’s looking at the Panthers and saying “Nah I’m good”, or “You’re not my first choice“. What is really seems to suggest to me is there’s something about the Panthers, or there’s someone on the Panthers that he doesn’t want to be associated with. I’d be willing to bet that players or coaches around the league have told him to steer clear of the Panthers because they are dysfunctional organization. 
Which of course is in contrast to the pitch that they made to him.

The signs have been hiding in plain sight, and we were to blind to see them.  In this meme, Watson attempts to violate a teammate in front of 80,000 people.  Did we really do our research? 

Freeze frame:

Pay attention people.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
