Yeah, although we have the 11th ranked defense, they are a top 5 unit.

25th ranked in Time to Throw in the NFL. 2.89 seconds on average.

They have a far better QB than ours. That isn't even a real discussion.

So the Saints are suddenly less talented than us?

Sean Payton is the Matt Rhule of the postseason.

Not on a Tuesday, no.

We did beat them tho.....jus' sayin'....

Even still, they are a top 10 unit without anything but average LB's. That's an accomplishment. LB is a far easier upgrade to make than DE/DT/CB. I like where are defense is at and where it is headed.

The NBA doesn't work the same way as the NFL. Sucking for that long will just get you fired. The examples of being terrible that long and then suddenly turning it around are limited. Successful franchises in the NFL maintain that level of success because they DON'T let things go to poo.

I mean....I guess that is a thing.

I just want not a pile of poo. Darnold is a pile of poo. We had a lot of non-pile of poo options and instead we traded WAAAAAY too much for a pile of poo. That is my rub. fug it, give me Tryod, give me Fitzmagic, give me any number of journeyman or young QB's over Darnold. He would have been close to the last QB I would want. fug it, I think Trubisky is a bust too but I would have rather had him.

I just can't buy in to Willis. Agreed. We will find some way to avoid drafting an offensive lineman.

Yeah and that is what I mean about gray areas. You can get yourself in trouble playing in those worlds. Ask that Dodgers player.

If so, it is likely someone from one of the prospective teams, the Texans or Watson's camp trying to get this stirred up. To my core, I literally don't understand why the Texans would suddenly want to get this deal done by the trade deadline.

I probably would have had him ahead of Jones but I also didn't like Jones as a prospect and would never have taken him in the 1st. He was a 2nd rounder to me. The early returns say that was wrong. But, Jones has far more polish than Howell. I tend to think Howell's talent level is higher. Both have average arms and really pretty deep balls.

Lol. Okay, so she is lying. Why do you read her posts? Are you aware of the "Ignore" feature? Because for those that don't believe she is lying, we are getting a little tired of your weird hysterics.

Well, he doesn't want to play for the Texans and he isn't budging. Plus you have this legal matter that is a PR nightmare. At some point you just cut your losses and that appears to be where the Texans are at.

I don't even know I would throw sleezy at him necessarily. He is in the fetish world so there can be some gray areas with that. If you have ever had sex with the woman that wants....rougher than normal sex, that is a good example. My reaction to the, "Hit me!" comment is pretty much to immediately shut down and remove myself as politely as I can. I don't trust ANY woman with that fetish, as judgemental as that may be. Similarly for Watson, if you have the fetish, there are actual places that specifically do that. There are escorts and hookers and rub and tugs....go there. Don't gamble with women in real life because you might find out they aren't into your fetish. But, yeah, I would rather have it all handled before so we don't have to deal with with fuging circus around it. That is why the Texans are comfortable paying Watson to stay away. They don't want to deal with it either.

I don't disagree at all but there is a chance(although remote and one I don't personally think is terribly likely) he is innocent. In that case, I would fight too. In reality, he is probably just listening to his lawyers advice, regardless of the facts.

We have no idea what is what. Maybe the legal issues pass, maybe he is out of the league forever. Maybe the price is insane and we get to see Sean Gilbert 2.0 or the Hershel Walker trade or the Ricky Williams trade. Or maybe the price is reasonable and we become contenders for a long time. We don't know anything because nothing has happened. People are largely breaking down something that hasn't happened and my not happen and drawing these crazy lines in the sand. I want him under certain conditions. That is my stance.

SHE is getting them up??? So....for sure none of the other sports media are too, huh? Just her? Riiiiight.

He had said he did nothing wrong and he is maintaining that stance. From a legal perspective, I can understand why that is happening. Now, if he comes clean after this is all done and says, "Hey, I got caught up in this fetish and I went further than I should have." That is where people are usually forgiving. Mike Vick was able to do that and he seemed sincere about his change. We will see how that all unfolds.

Lol...why? Explain what harm she is doing by passing along inside info, whether accurate, speculative or wrong?

Lol. I am not that down on the move. My personal opinion is that I don't know anything about the facts and I don't believe anything any of the accused and accusers have to say. I wasn't there and I don't know what their motivations nor the facts, nor will I likely ever know them. If I had to guess, the manner in which it is playing out suggests there is a lot of sleaze on both sides of this one, so the truth is somewhere in the middle. Probably a dude that is addicted to his sexual fetish with plenty of willing women to go along, so he ends up going to far with more than one that wasn't up for it. I suspect there are a lot of skeezy people involved(Watson included) and a couple of honest people who have been genuinely harmed. But you know what.....my opinion is just that. It has no bearing on anything.

I have news for you, we have very little draft capital in 2022 and if we trade for Watson, it will all be gone. There would be zero benefit to tanking in that scenario.
