The Saga of Deshaun Watson

[dcm1602]

Texans have made two trades with the AFC east so far this week

Both teams that Caserio has strong ties to

I don't care too much about these guesses, but this shows that the Dolphins could easily outbid us for Watson.  Does anyone see Big Doug trying to match this?  Texans would get a QB and the 3rd overall pick where they could still get one of the top QBs.

...why would the Texans ask for Tua and then take a QB at #3?

One of the top QBs < your choice of the top remaining QB

Fair enough.  Maybe they view him as a bridge QB with a big upside who worst case could allow them to slow the NFL transition of a Fields-type QB who isn't ready to throw out there day 1. They could also trade out of 3 for more assets.  They need picks badly.

Don't question my GM authoritaaa..

Isn't there a philosophy that a team should draft a QB every year until they get a franchise QB?

If the Jets were the team losing Watson, I would want this team doing everything in its power to hedge its bets to find a replacement franchise QB.

I have zero faith in tua, but if the compensation for him was reasonable (ie he was valued as a 2nd round pick in a Watson trade) I would absolutely want him and to draft a QB as well.

The best man starts, and the other guy is a high upside cost controlled backup.

Sure I'd rather have an experienced vet as the 2nd QB. But the Texans would be having a huge rebuild losing their young franchise QB, best offensive weapon, and the face of their franchise all in the last 2 years.

If i was the Texans I'd be happy to take Tua or Darnold in a potential Watson trade as a sweetener

The other options for the Texans are to get their QB through free agency, a separate trade, or as part of the Watson trade deal with whichever team.  They don't necessarily have to shoot for the moon with a new QB.  Doesn't have to be the 2nd best QB in the draft. 

They could decide to take Tua as part of a trade with the Phins.  If he sucks, they will be near the top of the 2022 draft along with some extra picks from the Phins.  Or he might be their guy if he plays well.  The Texans know that rebuild isn't a 1 year thing.  2021 isn't gonna be pretty no matter what.

If I were them I'd just take the deal with the most value of picks and find a bridge QB for 2021.

The Texans could suck and still not end up with a top-3 pick. Look at the Jets. Jets tried to tank for Darnold and got the 6th pick. And we don't know what next year's QB class looks like. It's a disaster if the Texans trade Deshaun Watson and don't get his replacement for this year IMO. The best package of picks will involve the #2 pick or the #3 pick anyway.

I just spoke to Andre Roberts over the phone about joining the Texans and my first question was who is your quarterback? He said “hopefully Deshaun Watson but we’ll see.”
He said he was really looking forward to joining the Texans.



i guess we can add Andre Roberts to the retard pile.

Houston signs Tyrod for 1 year $12.5M

That's not backup money

Watson's career in Houston might be ending

It's not starter money. It's basically elite backup/shitty starter money, which is what Tyrod is.

Either way, it's a good sign that they brought in someone else who can competently play QB for when they trade Watson to us.

bears signed andy dalton to a 1year deal, $10 million.

maybe one less team? but that also is one less team to bid on sam.

Texans signed Turdrod to a 1 year, $12M deal
