Not charged yet, but expected to be.

And if he is, those charges will include forcing three women to perform oral sex on him.

You comfortable with that?

 

I dont believe my comfort plays any part in this.

Watson, like anyone else deserves his day in court.  If/when that time comes the burden will be on the prosecution to prove his guilt.  If he's guilty they'll (hopefully) prove that and if hes not, then he's not.  I am not going to judge the guy based on my limited knowledge of the situation.  We should all be afforded as much.

At least among the intelligent posters it should.

Would there still be morons suggesting that we try to trade the Eagles to get him? I'd like to think no, but... 😕

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.

He likely will get his day in court, and it's probably going to be messy.

But that situation is exactly why you don't trade for him right now. Until this situation is resolved one way or the other, you just can't do that. And this is the view of pretty much every team in the league at this juncture.

You can say "conditional picks", but the Texans have already indicated they won't go for that. And I wouldn't place any bets on them changing their mind. Plus if they do, I'd probably be asking myself why.

Your comfort absolutely plays into this. Are you comfortable with a serial abuser running your Offense. If so, then you are probably in the minority.

 

And he does not have to be charged with anything. Here is still responsible for his own actions. And those actions were reprehensible to 20+ women.

My years of Huddle experience are a big reason why I roll my eyes a lot 😐

Legal facts mean nothing to people like @iamhubby1. People like him base everything in life on feelings.

I'm not sure I would go with that Defense. He is still responsible for his own actions. Actions that have a lot of people looking at him differently.

For the record, Watson has admitted that some sexual activity occurred between he and some of his therapists. He states however that it was consensual.

Given the number of accusers, it's probably fair to say that's not a good sign.

Until he's convicted these are just allegations.  Civil suits, no matter the number or outcome or use of NDAs, does not equal guilt.  Thats not my opinion, its the law. As citizens if the united states we should all be afforded as much.

Has Watson been convicted of anything?

You invest in the future with a contract.  Do you give $100m to a man who might be convicted of a crime of this nature when the entire nation knows that you knew about it and decided winning was more important than human decency?  We need to value women, not exploit them.   

Second point--the reason the NFL is so popular is their brands.  The logo and what it represents.  If you think Tepper should risk tarnishing the brand to try to be more competitive, you would be wrong.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.
