He had worked out a bunch of places that didn't sign him. Something clearly has to be up with him. Either a drastic loss of abilities or an undisclosed injury or something.

Okay. Still should be a fairly sizeable amount, I would assume.

Since it is an all included in a charity auction, I am not sure if that is the case or not.

With those bust players, people are always going to keep seeing potential, no matter what. Hell, we have a large chunk of people buying into a very obvious bust QB that we traded for based on that potential. So, I do understand how it can be enticing. This is a different scenario, however. Watson's abilities are completely unquestioned, it just boils down to whether he is going to be possible to sign for a while. If things go poorly, I would suspect we see a Mike Vick type situation, where he is out of the league for a bit and then eventually comes back "rehabilitated."

Me $0 but I also don't really need that $120k tax write off like that guy probably ultimately does.

Yeah, I would think that we should have all learned by now that trial by public opinion or certainly by media doesn't mean a lot. From a PR standpoint, perhaps so, which is a genuine issue that has to be considered in a league that has public perception to worry about. Even the resolution of a civil and/or criminal case is no guarantee that we actually would know any of the real facts. Just that the theatrics are completed and we have an ultimate result.

Yeah, I mean that much is pretty obvious, I would think. I understand the "buy low" crowd thinks now might be the time to strike but there isn't a team in the NFL that is going to make a deal for him until the entire ordeal is sorted out or at least behind the scenes there are some assurances about the result and the NFL's plan for him.

Only A. would actually stop him. I would guarantee that even if we drafted some young stud QB in 2022, there would be at least a couple of posters still talking about how we should have gotten Watson instead. The Huddle will always do with it does best.....Huddle.

I really have no idea why people are debating the finer points of the allegations/charges/etc. That stuff is going to sort itself out and we will eventually see what the result is. Unless someone here knows any of these details personally or is somehow connected to these proceedings, it's kind of ridiculous to even speculate. I can understand breaking down someone's specific point of view by the "did he or didn't he" end result but I really can't understand the need to play the case out in a message board of people who literally have next to no idea what transpired.

No matter where he ends up, there will at least be a portion of people here that won't ever let us forget about how we should have traded for him. Especially if he is still dominant. I would think your years of Huddle experience would have made this situation obvious.

You really think that would stop it??

If you put on the tape of him versus NC State from last season, you will start wondering about that hype train. Not saying the kid isn't talented but he definitely didn't look good in that game. He had a lot of success rushing the ball against Coastal Carolina but his passing was a little suspect. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on to see if he improves a lot as a passer but there is no way I would rate him as a first round draft pick at the moment.

I think they just simply went BPA. It just happened to suck for us. I will be curious to see how Goff fares there.

We have to see if they are even a cohesive unit at all. That isn't going to be super obvious for probably a quarter of a season or so(unless they are just really good or really bad immediately). TC is tough to get a great read on the OL overall. On paper we should be as bad or worse than last year. But, we got a full season to figure out the reality.

The Lions making our starting LT a fuging RT makes me so fuging upset every time I see it mentioned. It would be so much easier to swallow if they needed a LT but they fuging didn't even need one. fug them.

There aren't going to be many OL's in the NFL that look worse on paper than the Panthers. We just have to hope that Darnold can channel his inner Teddy and get rid of the ball quickly. If not.....it's gonna be a looooooooooong season for him and us. Luckily this Brady offense is well suited to somewhat alleviating pass rush pressure.

I gotta be honest, I never really got the Burrow hype so my expectations for him were much lower than most. Still, his career is likely to be derailed by the Bengals doing Bengals things, at this point. They have a pretty solid history of that.

I thought the chicks were just nuggets. How did they make full sized sammiches out of them???

Make no mistake, Jameis Winston is not a running QB. Not even close.

I like Terrace Marshall as a player, I think he is going to be a valuable contributor to our team but there is no way I am going to buy into him being better than DJ Moore and Robby Anderson in his rookie season. The odds of that happening are pretty slim. This isn't LSU, this is the NFL. And Joe Brady was Passing Game Coordinator in 2019 for LSU. Marshall played that one year in his system. Same as Anderson and Moore.

Those are the most predictable thing ever. Watching the completely insane overreactions in the TC threads is always entertaining. "WE HAVE A TOP TEN DEFENSE!!!" "SAM DARNOLD IS THE GREATEST QB IN PANTHERS HISTORY!" "TERRACE MARSHALL IS OUR NEW #1 WR!" "WE SHOULD MOVE JACKSON TO FS BECAUSE HE IS A BUM!"

I can't wait for the first preseason game, and to then be reminded about a half into it that preseason really sucks and get antsy to see "real" football again.

We sure he is our old friend after getting shown the door???? I guess if we keep getting hosed on replays we will know.... May as well start the conspiracy now.

It's technically appropriate to poo react to that.
