Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

Recommended Posts

I've listened to the Watson-Carolina idea from two or three people now (probably all originating from ESPN's Evan Cohen). OK, read the article and tell me what you think.

Not that I'm trying to influence your opinion, but I would scoff at a first and conditional first. I am not letting anything hinge upon Bryce Young's play. If they outright make it TWO FIRSTS  in 2025 and 2026, I'd think about it, but I'd have to look at the cap implications first. [Any cap-ologists want to give any insight?]

Holy poo. Imagine the agony of being a Browns fan of they did that.

The lesser of two evils. At least they'd have a nice young man to develop😉. They'd have to suffer two more years of Watson otherwise, while the team disintegrates into nothingness. Watson, by several metrics, is the worst starting QB in the NFL (not hyperbole).

He may not play here, but he will net us 3 first round picks and lamaleava or whatever the Tennessee dudes name is.

If we trade for Watson I'm selling my house and moving to Maryland so I can make the Ravens my official team.

 

I wouldn't touch that clown for 5 1st Rd picks.

The idea would be that since the Browns would still be paying his salary, he would be cut.

 

If that's the case, I would take that all day and yesterday.

This ain't Madden bro. This topic is a joke. Tepper actually went hard after this clown. Can you imagine if this dude was our QB right now.

 

Worst owner with the worst human being at QB. Oh yeah that duo would have went down in the history books as the worst tandem in sports history.

 

Someone has to get Tepper out of Charlotte.

I think the idea is the Panthers would be buying draft picks. They would not play or for that matter even have him on the team. But, yes if he played I am with you!

This is not realistic. It's something you do on Madden.

 

Cmon guys is this what we doing on a Thursday night?

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
