What did he tweet? The organization got screwed out of years to pacify BoB. What have you actually heard Watson say? Or are you going with the national media circus pushing for a Watson trade, especially up in NY.
It's more about what he hasn't said and what he's leaking that is the problem. He could end all of this BS with a single tweet, and doing so would help the franchise, but he won't. He's a little drama queen so he's been causing this whole mess. It's unfortunate that both the Rockets and Texans based the foundation of their franchises on such undeserving losers.
they don’t have a first for just THIS draft like in 2022 they will have all they picks again geez y’all swears it’s the next 5 drafts we don’t have it’s just 21 we don’t have a first and second like man
Wouldn’t be surprised if Easterby has already talked to Cal about trading him because he doesn’t “fit their culture.” No need to ask for something that might be coming anyways. Don’t forget that Cal straight up said he is not going to fire Easterby. He has yet to say the same about not trading Deshaun.
Amusing to see the same kings of bad takes in here enraged at Watson for shining a spotlight on how horribly the Texans franchise is run. Texans unlikely to ever find another quarterback as good as Deshaun and dudes in here really trying to villainize him for not being more subservient to a front office being puppeteered by a fake pastor? If Deshaun is successful in forcing the Texans to actually start making some football decisions for actual football reasons, you don't deserve to cheer and get excited when he continues to ball out for the Texans. If Deshaun is unsuccessful but manages to get himself traded to a franchise that knows how to run a football team, enjoy cheering on whatever revolving door of mediocre talents the Texans end up with at quarterback that will almost certainly be nowhere near as good as Deshaun.
I get what you're saying and don't disagree, but if you're a good owner in a lesser market, especially Houston (or Miami, San Fran, Pittsburgh, Chicago, or about ten other cities), you're fine.
Harden sure deserves the criticism. Watson actually won a college championship. What has the front office or cal do that makes u defend or ride them so hard that they don't get any criticism? Losers? Has the mcnair ever done anything remotely successful for this franchise? All I know is u defend upper management even if it's a shtty one, quite sad. Watson has a legitimate complaint.
Honestly do u think Watson is alone with his stance against the front office? Its dysfunctional as it is. Getting rid of Watson is just gonna drag us back to a mediocre franchise searching for it franchise qb, it doesn't solve anything.
If the Texans entertain a trade, it would be due to the overwhelming package of assets... not for .10 on the dollar. It would also set a fairly irreparable precedent for the league... the NFL doesn’t want its players to be able to force trades out of Jacksonville, Tennessee, Carolina, Detroit, etc. Watson and his agent are playing it fine for now. Not demanding anything, not forcing anything, seeing how the coaching selection plays out and who’s really pulling the strings once Casserio is fully entrenched. However they do have to be careful about how far this truly goes or how ugly it gets... the league has no problem ostracizing players or basically forcing teams to avoid certain guys. Yeah, its not fair to the players... never has been... the NFL is the most restrictive of all the leagues.
Of course not, but he’s about the only one who would bring back a return in a trade. This team sucks. It has no talent aside from Watson, so what does it matter if you’re not going to win anyway and he doesn’t want to be here?
Could just as easily ask... what’s the point if this owner/front office is that incompetent to be able to alienate a once-in-a-generation type QB.... are you really expecting them to be able to “build” something else?
Exactly... Getting picks and “cap space” means really little with this franchise. Watson’s ability is known, is transcendent, and is actually powerful enough to overcome the power of religion!
lol...no one is saying that the Texans front office hasn’t been a hot mess since Bob McNair died. I’m just curious why Watson is getting a pass for his behavior. Yes Cal McNair should have communicated with Watson the change of direction regarding the GM search...especially since he agreed to let Watson have a say. But if anything the mistake here was McNair agreeing to give Watson a seat at the table after he vouched for Bill O’Brien as his guy. But not answering phone calls, not communicating with management, posting gibberish on twitter, wanting to be traded all seems very histrionic teenage girl to me. Even in this era of player empowerment there are better ways to get your message across.
Only if he wants to be here though. That’s my point. If he really wants out, why hold the man hostage? It doesn’t help anyone.
No they can't. They would still have to pay him the guaranteed money amount due in his contract, despite any sort of performance. That's the entire point of a contract. If Deshaun wanted to sign a short-term deal, he could have. That allows him leverage. He decided to go with a long-term contract, therefore forfeiting his leverage. That's how it works. If he wants to sit out for 5 years and not gain any years towards free agency, then sure, that's cool. But this isn't simply a matter of "changing minds".
