It makes me sick these reporters think we are out of the race. It sickens me the Panthers are barely brought up for this trade for Watson. It's ridiculous how the media disrespects us.

Hence the reason for needing a franchise QB. Media folks have a lot to keep track of and it's much easier to talk about teams with top QBs or teams that have won recently.

It’s obvious at this point Carolina isn’t his first choice.  Bold of you to assume he doesn’t walk in FA in three years if we were to trade for him

 

i hope the saints or falcons land him. Some people may be cool being the last resort option of a likely predator but I’m good. 

Carolina is probably the Texans first choice.  Because ripping off this front office via QB is easy.  So we default into Watson's last choice I suspect.  That if all else fails and Watson can't get what we wants.  We are the last resort option he would then settle on.

It’s incredibly odd how this whole time, no beat writers or media employees working for the big guys, have said we have a chance.

The dude is forcing his way off of a team in the middle of a contract extension he ALREADY signed, you honestly think he's gonna ride it out here for a decade? Absolutely no way. 

He's doing it because the Texans lied to him. If you had a little perspective, then you'd understand the backstory.

The "hurr durr Watson asking out and is a sex predator" crowd is so tiring

Agreed. Texans aren't going to let us off the hook until the ink is dry. Our offer is too valuable in the negotiation.

The Houston Texans ownership is outwardly racist with the other weirdly high positioned guy, Easterby or whatever, being a complete and total psycho.

Even removing the ethics from the equation, I just can't get behind trading the farm for a dude who 

 

1. Doesn't want to be here

2. Has already shown he has no problem forcing his way off a team

3. Will in all likelihood be a 3 year rental

 

 

Imagine us trading the farm and him leaving for ATL in 3 years. I could absolutely see it.

OK, say we sign Watson and lose our pass rush (Reddick gone, Burns in trade)---we have 1 decent (free agent) safety (Chinn in trade) and a weakened run defense (Jones in Buffalo).  That will degrade the corners, exposing Henderson and Taylor--and Horn at times.  I am guessing the defense would fall to the middle of the pack at best.   At LT we will have BC, at LG we will have ????? , at C we have Elflien, at RG and RT we have good players.  We would have little cap room to upgrade, and in this year's draft, we have a fourth rounder and two fifths.  Next year, our first pick is in the third round.  The following year?  Third round.

That means we'd have to build through free agency---not the recipe one needs when the QB is taking in 14% of the cap.

And he is a sex offender, convicted or not.  If cheering for him does not bother you a little, your priorities are a bit off. 

While the idea of Watson intrigues me if we could add an offensive lineman, the upgrade on offense is likely to be offset by the downgraded defense.  So yeah, I would like to see Watson come here, but I also see why it would take something more than 1 QB to make us a winner.

Right…jump on either Tretter or the C from Baltimore(bozeman?) and Armstead(depending on health)/vet tackle or one at 6.    

And whatever they need to do to fix the run D..Bobby wagner, DT, scheme, I don’t care. Cam, Sam 🤢, minshew…late draft pick QB competition…Rhule sink or swim. Strong oline/running game and strong defense..a competent coach can get 8/9 wins out of that.  If not…give Rhule das boot✊🏻

new coach/have picks and money to get a QB and oline to protect em.

Curious what you think would have made the difference. 

That's my point..

If it was about being in the best situation to win and coaching..

Cleveland,  Philly and Seattle are better options then all of the NFCsouth teams.

Although cap manipulation is becoming a commong practice, the contract the Falcons just signed really puts them in an odd cap situation for them to be able trade for Watson and sign Landry, Jones, and Fuller. They have no cap space right now. Absoultely 0. 

We can see how young gm Terry Fontenot handles this, but my confidence isnt high. Especially if Matty ice isnt traded in time.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
