Ugh.. we haven't done it yet.

We will improve the roster, and with CMC playing at least most of the we'll be at or near 8 wins. What would you like to bet? We get near or at 8 wins and you change your avatar to an image that says "I don't know what I'm talking about"

Argument that is not.

Mark this thread. 8 and wins and we'll revisit this post.

If we trade Detriot our first for Stafford I'm done. I'm out.

fug Matt Stafford. Might as well stick with Teddy.

All we had to do was Bench Teddy for the WFT game. Now we're screwed. We're headed to 8-8 Teddy limbo for the next two seasons at least. Unless we can pull off a miracle and land Watson it's a wrap.

Offer our 4th round pick and KK.

Well looks like we've got to rebuild the long hard way.

I think the Texans will want two 1sts and our best player on a rookie contract at the most important position. That means I think they will want Burns. If not then DJ. If not, then no deal.

Do we have any people on this forum who are extreme football experts. For instance you're obsessed with football and know way more than typical fans. This question is for you. What would the Texans be willing to accept realistically as a trade for Watson?

It's all about the QB. You're not going anywhere without a great one. We're spinning our wheels until we make a move to land Watson, or hit in the draft.

Expect the bottom of our roster to be churned like butter. They'll want to keep cycling and shirting through trash until they find someone overlooked. The only free agent deal I want done is you know who.

The QBs at 8th pick look extremely dangerous of being busts. Trey could be a whopping bust, and Zack as well. Taking a QB at 8 is a nail biting risk, and if we miss we're screwed long term. If we hit it's still going to take a while for the QB to learn the system and be effective. I say offer the Texans more than what other teams like Detroit and others are willing to offer. We need to offer the top deal. That's the only way we'll have a great team in the short term. Otherwise expect the next couple of seasons to be very painful.

So we're closing in on him.

I have a problem with Shaq's contract because I don't want any expensive LBs on the team at all. Ever. KK's body fell apart rapidly and it was bad timing contract wise. I don't mind paying big money for pass rushing DTs in principle though. KK = Ok but bad timing. Shaq = bad contract in principle.

10. I always start every season at a 10 for enthusiasm no matter how poop our roster might be. Even if our QB is just middle of the pack or worse I'm still as excited as possible to start the season. Now once we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs I am excited to lose to move up the draft board.

We need to offer the Texans a very good deal, but not a crazy wreck our team deal.

Drafting a QB would likely produce a losing season.

Adding Deshaun Watson would give us a playoff team next season imo. Having an already trained and experienced QB with a high level of talent going against the Brees-less Saints, grandpa Brady a year older, and the pitiful Falcons = PLAYOFFS.

Now some may think that I'm not thinking about the defense and you need some balance to win. I do want 1st round defensive players on the d-line. Load up the d-line AFTER we have a top quality passing attack. Right now we have an o-line that makes our journeyman QB fearful, and he tosses the ball too short or throws it away when he smells trouble. That's how journeymen play. Gettlemen tried to warn us about this type of player. They avoid injury, play by their own rules, and point fingers at other players when things go t!ts up. They always have excuses, and things are never their fault. We need to avoid the journeymen type of players like the plague because they already have F-U money, and they are selfish. Our o-line needs to be a like a stone wall, and the expensive draft capital to build it is well worth it. Spend on the o-line, then turn your attention to rushing the QB.

I don't want FA LBs because they tend to have something wrong with them. Like they are dopey and screw up too much, or they have a physical injury they are trying to hide. It's best to draft smart LBs with fresh legs later in the draft. They'll never be superstars, but who cares? Just be smart and execute the defense as it's called. I you get beat then that's ok because so do the rest of the LBs in the league.

We have to totally change our dumb blue collar linebacker mentality. That old school Steelers outdated blueprint that the lord of creeps brought here has to be purged. I don't want a lunch pale tough guy try hard team with a mediocre offense and 1st round defensive players all over the field. That is so stupid in this day and age. That was fine in the 90's for the Steelers. We need to move on.
