D-Shiznit Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Long time Houston reporter John McClain on Watson and the Eagles: Quote "Four of the teams that were interested—like the Jets, 49ers, Bears, and Patriots—they've moved on with first round picks. Denver and Carolina were two teams that were willing to sacrifice almost anything. And I wrote a column this week, teams like Philadelphia, Washington, New Orleans would be interested because if they had him that would make them instant contenders. Of course, everybody here [in Houston], they love Jalen Hurts because he's from here, but people here say, 'OK.' They hope Jalen fails and the Eagles would have three numbers one picks if [Carson] Wentz stays healthy and maybe the Eagles would give them two of those. Right now, until the legal situation works itself out, there's no negotiations." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the best case scenario. Even if Jalen could turn himself into an above average QB, our rebuild would be warp sped by those 3 first rounders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be in a Niners position where we could have a stacked roster and an average QB and then have a decision to make around the QB position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way we have been drafting I think it’s better to hope that 2/3 of the first rounders aren’t just total bums vs saying we could have a stacked roster 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year he seemed to resist those temptations to go rogue and we seemed to have a rather nice draft (for the most part). Let’s hope any pressure he was feeling following all of those negative reports on him continues to keep his ego in check. We absolutely need to hit it out of the park next April with those high picks. Very rarely does a team find itself in a position with 3 first round picks.

Hopefully they get that 3rd first even if they end up trading it for a 2nd and a #1 the year. Two first two years in a row plus 2 seconds this coming draft wouldn’t be to hard to handle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His allegations are bad, but in my opinion stupid bad and not damning bad. Sexual misconduct is worlds better than sexual assault (which 1-2 may be depending on how they claim it in court). They’re still not good and he should be at the mercy of the courts, but once it’s settled he’ll move on. Its not something I think someone should lose their career over. I’m at peace with a great QB who gets heckled because he’s getting horny in inappropriate situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a clause in the CBA that once you show up you can’t hold out again. It’s abandoning the team and they can make you forfeit all your money and bonuses that year. So he has to be absolutely sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
