    JJ watt is great and all, I just can't see how you would justify paying him so much when defense was just fine without him last season. If JJ watt gets into the hall of fame it was because of his individual achievements which might make some fans happy, but to me that's jack sht if we never win a ring. All that money going into this "star" could have been used on other players to help our team. Our secondary is pretty weak, our oline is weak, but ohhh look at JJ watt and his massive contract.

    JJ watt is great, but like FTW mentioned 2-14 season, not going far in playoffs. paying one man, a defense player so much money in a team sports is setting up for failure, unless it's a qb/wr/rb.

    Same can be said if Harden doesn't lead Rockets to a championship too. Market dictates how much stars are paid. There are very few superstars that take less than the market value to help out a team.

    Only one position is really worth crazy money. I wouldn't include WR and RB on that list.

    How is @Bobbythegreat a bigot? Just because he isn’t sold on Watson yet and he’s a black athlete? This is how society is nowadays so sad. If you don’t agree with me you’re a racist!!!

    Btw ftw, you don’t like the sport of football so why don’t you get your FATT ass out of the Texans forum.

    Sincerely everybody,

    Football and basketball are different sports. Granted that Harden and JJ Watt are both considered Superstars, individual performance is more impactful in basketball while football is more of a team sport with many parts. JJ watt shouldn't be paid that much because no matter how great of an impact he has on defense, we can still lose if we have no offense.
    I wouldn't pay jj watt that much just because his role isn't as important in a football team. Like The Real Shady mentions only qb should be paid alot.

    There's what 53? players on a team, they all have to work together. With what JJ watt is doing on defense alone doesn't justify the paycheck, just saying it could be used for other vital pieces of the team.

    I’ve read them and I completely disagree. I have argued with @Bobbythegreat many times that Watson is the future and savage sucks.

    Nothing he’s ever said indicates he’s being racist. Be my guest to post his racist posts please.

    Bobby's stances are always negatively objective. I haven't seen the race card pulled yet.

    It's the classic racist calling someone else the racist.

    It's a massive number of posts that require you to read the whole thread to understand context but basically to sum it up, he thinks any transgressions the black community expresses is fake outrage. He thinks law enforcement is infallible.

    Are you willing to read the whole thread in context? No one is saying that bobby says 'black people are bad'. Nothing explicit like that. It's more of his pattern on anything regarding BLM or cop shootings and always defending the officer and always assuming that black suspect deserved it. He also continuously states that any racial biases that officers have are based in reason since black individuals have a higher rate of murder.

    The closest thing I can do to your request of finding one post is his post justifying officers having any racial biases or fearing pulling over black people more thus they are more 'jumpy'. I'll have to hunt that post if you really want to read it.

    Hmmm I’ll check it out. Ftw is basically saying that Bobby is racist because he favors a white Texans qb over a black one. Seems like a reach to me

    I tend to find people that throw the "bigot" word around to be insufferable twats.
