Deshaun wants to go to Atlanta. But they can’t afford to trade for him without trading Matt Ryan. And the Falcons pissed off Matt Ryan because they tried to trade him but as far as I know no one wants to take on $48m cap hit for a 37yo pencil necked QB.

Long story short it’s a mess. The storyline is going to start to change tomorrow. 

I can’t pie you but I am.

I don’t think we lead, but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we I got the “Watson to Carolina” notification.  I said it yesterday and I’ll repeat, it’s almost impossible to get inside info on NFL leaks.  If it’s not Ian or Adam I don’t put stock in it.

Look, I know everyone laughed at theinkisdry, but he did say decision was  Friday and he did say our offer will surprise you, like maybe it isn’t 5-7 assets like they wanted. Again, not saying he’s right but it’s possible at this point. 

What is the theinkisdry is just Big Tep giving us the scoop?

Houston needs to put some pressure on ATL to hurry the fug up. All these teams in limbo while FA is passing by and Houston seems content to let watson and ATL take as long as they like as if there isn't work to be done by all parties outside this trade

Yeah. And our two divisional rivals with no cap room are in no hurry.

“Days of our Watson” is getting more entertaining by the day.  I’ve accepted he’s going to ATL or NO, so I’m just here for the shitshow

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
