I'm not convinced the 49er interest in Bridgewater was legit. Seems a bit like news put out to create a market. "If the 49ers are interested maybe we should be also" Don't get me wrong, would love to be true and could be possible, but this time of year you can't believe everything you read.

Just another reason we should have been frugal last year.

Whether or not his receivers are open is irrelevant. An accurate pass is an accurate pass, doesn't matter if if the CB is 1 foot away or 2 yards away. That is why you don't box score scout. Does he face less pressure than most QBs playing for Alabama? Of course, but I'm sure there is some tape of him facing pressure. Any good scout has the resources to filter out certain plays. Here again this is why you scout by watching film and not the box score or you use advance metrics that can tell you how he actually does under pressure, or how many throws are accurate and just not complete. A player not having to do something isn't the same as a player not being able to do something. Herbert showed that last year with his ability to throw deep which was something he didn't show in college. Throwing to open receivers isn't' a negative by itself, it doesn't prove that he can't make tight window throws, it just limits the amount of tape of him doing so. Personally I haven't watched him enough to know, but hopefully our scouts have.

The Saints are trolling people and they are falling for it.

I agree if I’m the Texans I’m wanting a haul. I was just curious to what you would actually give up. 3 1st, no players?

I agree to a point. It’s hard to know how much is too much. What would be your top offer?

Scary part is that Waddle was the better of the two, when they both played, and neither of them might be the first WR drafted. Good year to need a WR if you are drafting early.

So pass on Mahomes?

That wasn’t what I asked. Do you think Person or Voth were wrong?

Did their mind change or was Person just wrong?

Nowhere close 16-18m a year is realistic one of the top tackles in the league and expects to be paid as such

If tackle numbers were a true indication of how well a player was playing Boston would still be on the team. Don’t get me wrong, he played great for a rookie, and got a lot of snaps at a lot of different positions, but tackles by themselves are often products of alignment and scheme.

To everyone saying that that the Saints don't have the cap space: A large part of Wilson's cap number with the Seahawks is dead money from his signing bonus. Any team that trades for him will only be responsible for his salary, which is only $19m. A team like the Saints, who will be close on cap space could convert that $19m to a bonus and drop his 2021 cap hit to about $4m, and the Saints can make that much room.

Is he making every pick on draft night? If yes, you might have a problem, even though that is his prerogative. Is he heavily involved on spending considerable resources on a potential franchise QB? That’s probably fairly normal

You don’t tank that hard to keep who you have.

So you are saying it technically impossible to trade CMC this year?

its not a difficult question, why waste someone's time. either way it doesn't change the fact its feasible. His point is the same at 21m or even 17m,trading CMC would have some cap ramifications involved, hence the reason it wasn't as easy as sopme people were making it.. He never said not possible. Let me ask you this, if Texans called and offered Watson for CMC could we do it? The answer is yes, and Voth would tell you the same.

I doubt he is wasting Samir's time to get a number for a tweet. He is probably looking at spotrac or overthecap.

all of this of course would be dependent on Miami not wanting Watson and instead having faith in Tua. This actually could benefit the Dolphins if they don't want Watson, it would prevent Watson from going to a division rival. They could draft someone like Smith or Waddle at 8, to go along with CMC, that wouldn't be too bad for a young QBs development. I'm not saying this scenario is going to happen, or even if it would be smart play by us. My only point is the idea of making a trade for an asset to help you make a future trade isn't a foreign concept in the world of sports. Whether its a three team trade, or 2 trades in succession, my only point was that it is feasible and it would address one of our disadvantages in the Watson sweepstakes. If anything the first trade could be made even without the guarantee of the second trade, if the team was high on whatever QB they could draft at 3.

I think you are trying to make an absolute statement out of a tweet that wasn't meant absolute. He isn't saying it isn't possible, just expensive but not as expensive as you are making it sound. The $21m isn't extra, CMC is already on the books for $12.5, if Voth is correct about the $21m that would mean an extra $8.5m. Ask yourself this, do we have enough cap space to absorb an extra $8.5? The answer is yes. If spotrac.com and overthecap.com are both correct and the trade hit is only 17.2m then its only an extra $4.7m. Whether its an extra 4.7m or 8.5m we can afford it if it means getting Watson.

I didn’t say anything about another team trading for Watson. We trade with the Dolphins for the 3rd pick, then package that pick with some others to trade with the Texans for Watson.

I think most of us agree that if the Texans decide to trade Watson they would like it to be with the Jets or Dolphins so they would have a chance at one of the top 3 QBs in the draft, but we actually seem like the team most likely to go “all in”. Unfortunately I don’t think Teddy solves their QB dilemma but what if we trade with Miami, let’s say the 8th pick plus CMC for the third pick. Then we package the 3rd pick plus next years first, plus a few 2nds, plus a few young players for Watson. I know that is a lot to give up for one player, but it’s starting to really feel like we are going to do anything we can to make this happen. if anything we could make the trade with Miami and even if we don’t trade again for Watson we would be in better position to take a QB on the draft.

There is some validity to what he saying, but the other side might be thee also. Maybe the Jets and Dolphins aren’t as desperate as us because they are comfortable with their non-Watson options. Maybe the Jets can make a better offer because of Wilson or maybe they aren’t willing to make a great offer because of Wilson. Works both ways.

and there are also a lot of really "smart" productive QBs at the college level that don't make it in the pros either. Absolute statements either way are dumb.

Another chart for you guys forming opinions off of random highlights, Both Wilson and Fields are extremely accurate to all levels of the field. A bit surprised to see Trevor behind them as much as he is. Also there are some definite concerns with Lance.
