It's not looking good. Now they're talking about possibly 20 lawsuits in total, to be filed. Now it's possible that DW will have more lawsuits then touchdown passes this year.

Not gonna lie.... This is what happened to us. And it's not looking good.

It's ugly to say the least. We dodged a bullet here. Imagine if what we would have given up, then the scandal. Houston Texans Planned To Trade Deshaun Watson Before Lawsuits - Sports Illustrated Houston Texans News, Analysis and More

my apologies, I used a parable..... how about this. ...supercomputer is to ability(i.e. z. wilson, fields) as typewriter(mac jones) is to.. well not much/underwhelming ability. does my thought process make a little bit more sense?

I just have this feeling of, as the rest of league gravitates towards the supercomputer (in terms of ability) at the QB position, Mac Jones comes in as a typewriter.

and....

I agree with you on this. From my understanding, is that the Texans have all the contractual leverage. So now it comes down to, if Watson is willing to sit out and loose substantial money.

You seem angry. "Watson offered input on potential general manager candidates, but the Texans neither considered nor consulted with those endorsed by their franchise quarterback, league sources told ESPN." To me, that comes off as: The Texans ignored Watson on this matter, and input was never going to be taken seriously, nor with any real consideration. That's my thoughts on the issue of "input". You're correct, it's absolutely possible that his input was horrendous. However, it seems from the start, the Texans had no plans of taking his input seriously. I think we can agree on that there are reasons both you and I, sit in our home offices and debate Adam Schefter articles, as opposed to working for any NFL organization. Cheers!

I mean we can article swap all day, but "input" is what he wanted. The Texans ignored Watson on this matter. Which begs the question, if your input was never going to be taken seriously, nor with any real consideration, is that really input? Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson bothered by team's hiring process, sources say (espn.com)

Devil's advocate here: First-round-draft picks might be the most overvalued "thing" in the NFL. Rhule/Fitt think they have their franchise QB, then worth it.

A bit of slippery slope argument here, but remember Deshaun Watson wanted input on decisions. This of course does not mean he makes the actual pick. Could've easily been something simple as "we need a person that can shift culture for the better". If you're franchise player wants to have input, then I believe they should have input.

Because this organization is doing their due diligence.

Hi all. A buddy of mine did this drawing for me, so I thought I'd share it with everyone. It is Prisma colored pencils only, finished with a gloss spray. The original photo has all the color marks on the side (getting the colors just right). The drawing is framed, which would explain the slight glare. Hope you all enjoy it.

I guess we can certainly dream..... NFL rumors: Surprise team mentioned in Deshaun Watson trade conversation (msn.com)
