    So you speculate like crazy in this situation and are connecting dots that seem convenient to your view on things, but completely go off on people for speculating about easterby when people have come out and speak out about him (many people connected to the team including Andre)

    you can’t speculate when it’s convenient for you if you get mad at people for doing it when multiple sources come out about a different figure...and your speculation is basically making things up that “seem like how it’s taking shape”


    Edit—-and for the record I’m not saying anything about the Watson situation myself other than it doesn’t look like he’s the good guy in my opinion, so I’m not defending him...I’m just pointing out your hypocrisy

    Your argument lacks merit. The main reason people were upset with Easterby was because of Watson's anger directed towards Easterby... and the motivation for that anger was never specifically shared by Watson... it was always just veiled innuendo with no details... even Andre Johnson's anger (who you cite) was not backed up with specifics.

    Speculation as to the source of Watson's original anger has been rampant for two months now precisely because Watson has clammed up and isn't talking. Why would he not share the reason he's mad, in such a high stakes situation like asking for a trade? My post provides a sensible answer, and ties things together nicely. The reason Watson wouldn't share the specifics is because the specifics make him look like a serial abuser/assaulter/harasser of women. And that, my friend, is the ONLY explanation to date that has been brought forth that ties everything together logically and consistently.

    GOOD DAY

    So because you think it ties it together nicely, it works...so you’re a “if I believe it, it’s true” guy...got it

    and there has been specific speculation about easterby dating back to last year before Watson asked for a trade (we all wanted him gone with bob)

    you’re connecting dots to fit your agenda that there is absolutely NO EVIDENCE OF...your speculation is a worse example of people believing things with no evidence

    No, people are upset with Easterby because he bamboozled his way to the top of the organization while SUCKING AT HIS JOB. I mean even before he was VP he was a character coach with a star player AND an owner asking for rub and tugs. Can’t even do that job right.

    So did Easterby reach out to Watson's mom because he knew he was a serial harasser of dozens of "massage therapists"?

    Actually the rumor is that Watson's mom reached out to the Texans about some behavior from him. The baby mama stuff about Hopkins I think had to do with Watson having sexual encounters with "many women". The reason people stating that Janice McNair approved the trade of Hopkins was to try to separate Watson from DHop (as an influence). Right or Wrong. Really, the only one who probably could give a good picture of this is Bill O'Brien.

    Easterby was probably creeping around Watson and that's why Deshaun wanted Easterby gone.

    He probably did reach out to Watson.

    Rumor has it he reached out to Watson's mom when he couldn't get Watson to change his extra curricular activities.

    Watson didn't like Easterby outing Watson's sexual deviance activities to Watson's mom.

    This is increasingly looking like the scenario. Easterby, acting in his capacity as character coach, blew the whistle on Watson’s sexual activity and attempted an intervention. This is squarely within his role and responsibilities as character coach. Watson, having never faced accountability in his life for his off-field behavior, became enraged and then launched the public relations campaign against Easterby, enlisting the help of former Texans players like Andre Johnson, Kenny Stills(!), etc.

    If this is true, then how can people be upset at Easterby for actually doing his job? And trying to help Watson and the team?

    This is how loser organizations are run. I can't believe the Patriots, of all teams, would have employed him with the low character guys they've historically brought in. Winners would have been able to speak to Watson, not go to his mom, and told him they have his back while trying to get him help. Pay hush money to the prostitutes while also directing Watson to the correct establishments that cater to his desires. This would have indebted Watson to the Texans.

    The key in sports today is to keep your stars happy, no matter how much of a diva they are. There has been a mass exodus from the Texans which show they are clueless on how to build a winner.

    i think the scenario that both of them are jackasses is more likely than your qanon theory

    Jack Easterby can have no qualifications or skillset to work for a football team and Deshaun Watson can be a sexual predator at the same time

    Too bad the character coach couldn’t keep the drug use away from the team.

    It's funny watching fans try to spin these lawsuits against Watson as a positive for Easterby. To portray Easterby as some selfless, tireless worker trying to save Watson from himself When in actuality, instead of Easterby being focused on the T-E-A-M character and culture, he was more involved with the dysfunction, bad personnel moves, power grabbing and backstabbing.

    Seems like Easterby was more interested in promoting himself and his flimsy resume than helping players. Also, if the rumor is true. What does it say that the character coach, pastor and developer of men's character had to call a grown ass man's mother because he couldn't do the one job he was hired to do?

    So, which is it? One rumor says Hopkins was traded because he was supposedly a bad influence on Watson. The other rumor is Easterby found out about Watson and told his mom. If Easterby knew all along about Watson's sexual behavior, why blame/trade Hopkins for peanuts?

    Hell. A case could be made by trading Hopkins, they made the situation worst. So, again, before giving Easterby credit, he failed at his one job. Then after knowing about Watson's "sexual deviance activities", they still signed off on that huge contract and risk. So, again. Easterby failed at convincing Watson, Hopkins, and the McNairs from making the terrible decisions. So, what was his job again?

    Hell what these Easterby defenders don't even realize that by pushing that notion that Easterby in his righteousness to cleanse Watson soul, had not choice but to help jumpstart a lawsuit vs watson, it basically them agreeing with the conspiracy notion on the other thread that the Texans was an active participant putting watson in legal trouble bat sht insane.
