I’m not a fool, I know you have to have a team around a franchise guy, but comparing the Texans to a normal team isn’t fair either. They did nothing to build around him, as a matter of fact they traded away one of the best WR in the game for peanuts along with other terrible trades. The entire organization was bad from gm, to coaches, to the people they put around Watson. He put up MVP numbers despite how horrible the team was. You plug his numbers into our offense last season and we are easily a playoff team

Hmm maybe we are.  I mean we dont have any OTs at the moment and were losing Samuel. We wont be able to draft legitimate replacements because all of our picks are gone.  I like Deshaun but people on here qcting like Chinn, Burns, and Brown are untouchable...well what do you think 3 first round picks are?  Guys like that on rookie deals.

Moton is going nowhere, and Tackles are 100x easier to find compared to a top 5 franchise QB. I understand we have holes, but my point is that a teams success starts and ends with a franchise QB. Building a team first compared to getting a franchise QB and building a team around him is the chicken or the egg debate. At the end of the day I can name a lot more talented teams without a franchise guy who can’t make it deep into the playoffs than I can teams with franchise QBs. Watson was the exception to this last year but almost every other team with a franchise QB was in the playoffs last year....the teams without one were not.

What if the Texans decide not to trade him (which there is a good possibility) and we go into the draft with no Watson? What if we draft someone like Devonta Smith or Surtain? After the draft, or heck, during the season, do you think it’s possible the Texans trade him after finally realizing he won’t play for them? Maybe the Panthers are comfortable waiting it out and rolling into next season wit PJ or something.

Yeah, a billion years ago

The Broncos won with a barely mobile quarterback just five years ago.

With that said, we're talking about a formula that's netted teams one Super Bowl under the flukiest of circumstances. Nobody's built a consistent contender that way.

That's not an example I want to see us follow.

In that scenario, hopefully we can trade back and net another 1st rounder next year.  Make our picks hopefully filling a few holes. Continue to stay in touch in case Houston changes their mind. If not, sign a vet to compete with PJ.

If at any time before the season, during the season, or at seasons end they decide to trade Watson, you have two 1st in the 2022 draft. If the 2022 draft arrives without Watson, you have ammo to go up and get Rattler, Shough, or Howell

I don’t think he would want to come here after we trade away our draft assets and he has to play behind a o-line that can’t protect him. Also we’ll have a defense that gives up 30+ a game cause we traded away our future. How is this attractive to Watson?

It’s not like we can’t add people in free agency and we don’t have rds 2 through 7 left

I hope Tepper doesn't turn into another meddling owner.

Does the new GM and Rhule really want to tie up their entire future into 1 player? It doesn't seem like a risk they would want to take.

Your fears have already been realized.

They're not really making that call...

Yes Verge did. I think we will be a major player in the Watson sweepstakes if he becomes available. Tepper seems set on getting who he wants in order to change our franchise around and give the fans some hope. We all know we are going nowhere with Teddy and we desperately need a franchise QB

I thought tepper wanted teddy? For as many first rounders we give up, we better replace each with Lombardi's. Our luck the texans get to super bowl before we do

      Family drama (Cam and Smitty)

      By mav1234 · Posted

      He can say what he feels, but he's not saying "the previous year, the team wasn't very good" he directly called his teammates out and in a way that is flat-out not true. "You are your record"? Oh ok, he's only had 3 winning seasons, but in my mind he isn't a loser, and I bet he isn't in his either - cause football is a team sport and wins and losses are on the team, even when one really bad player (Jimminy Pickles) can basically screw over everything.  And this comes on the heels of his thing about the MVP, which is fine, but also selfish. His teammates consistently went to bat for him... Just feels like he's more about himself.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good point--I think this draft is great for us at this time--At the top of the draft, the DT (DEs/NTs in 3-4) are loaded.  The Edges are deep.  We need to double dip there--hoping to move back so we can add three players to that pool.  In free agency, if I were Morgan, I would focus on DBs and  ILB--fix the back end of the defense.  If he signed a S, CB, ILB, and TE, it would be cost effective.  In the draft, DE, Edge, and WR should be the priorities.  After that, OL Depth, QB depth, DB depth, RB depth.  My Free agent Targets:  TE: Juwan Johnson, Saints.  29, had over 500 yards with Saints. S: Julian Blackmon, Colts.  He will be one of the top free agents--gonna cost us, but not like an edge or WR. ILB: Tyrel Dodson, Dolphins.  80 tackles on just 854 snaps--under 27 years of age. CB: Mike Jackson, Carolina.  He is 28 and had 3 picks and was on the field at all times.  68 PFF score. NT:  best available for Evero's system.
