ibleedgreen1990 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I’m not touching Watson right now. Makes sense for a ton of reasons to wait it out and see what hurts does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerolithe_Lion Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 They now want 6 players/picks for him. I think Watson is a generational talent, but that’s a huge chunk of a team. Jalen doesn’t have to be close to Watson for 6 players around him to elevate the team equally. That’s basically how we won the SB, overall team talent. And that’s how Houston is in the predicament it is, they have DW but no talent around him. I don’t want to be that team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts is going to get this year. I don't see the Eagles trading for Watson at this time. They may consider it next year but I think Hurts gets the chance this year.

Maybe it turns out that Hurts isn't the answer, but I'd rather the scouts found the next Watson / Mahomes / Rodgers than throwing massive draft capital at a current one. Hell, the Texans just beat the Jags hollow with Tyrod Taylor under center, so how much difference does Watson's 4800 yards and 33 TD's actually make?

As long as Hurts doesn’t turn the ball over, I’d be happy to build a trench-heavy O and D team around him and see where it takes us. I don’t care as much about 40 TDs, just stop fumbling the damn football. Chad Pennington over Vinny Testaverde every day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably gets suspended for it but if there are any criminal charges brought up that when things really get complicated. Supposedly there’s two or three criminal investigations right now.

That what I'm saying they can't prove 1 of those girls to be a false allegation, then just throw them all out of court. They are going to have to go through each individual girls case. This will be a long long time. Unless after they leave a few more to be false and they all drop out at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be a difficult criminal case. His word verses her word is difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt and I see no way Watson takes a plea deal. He could settle out of court with the civil cases though. All in all this process could take all season, but it seems Watson would be eligible to play this season. It’s all a game of chicken now. For the Texans they’re trying to wait other teams out, but if they over play their had they could lose everything and be stuck with a contract for a guy they can’t trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman#12 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I believe Hurts is going to be a pretty good QB......and I would sure like to see the eagles use those 1st and 2nd round picks next year for a stud LB, a versatile safety and more beef on the offensive and defensive lines.
