Watson requested the trade before the allegations became public. In a world where Deshaun still faced these allegations but never requested a trade, probably 90% of Texans fans would be supporting him. So the majority of the people calling him a pervert are hypocrites and just butt hurt over him no longer wanting to have anything to do with this sorry franchise.
That was his choice though, less than 6 months after he signed a contract extension with a no-trade clause, after 1 losing season. I know he had his reasons but idgaf, I'm a Texans fan.
Do you also hate JJ Watt? Because he also asked to be released. Even the team president Jamey Rootes wanted to be let go because of the shenanigans Easterby was being allowed to pull in the organization. A lot of players wanted to leave, and still want to leave (e.g. Brandin Cooks). That says more about the organization than the players.
I said before the season that I would - just like another poster posited in 2017 - absolutely trade a Deshaun ACL injury for a World Series win. Wouldn't be a terrible day to collect on that.
Of course not, completely different circumstances and if you don't understand that then I don't need to explain it for you. Cooks wants to leave now bc Easterby is GONE. You do realize that, right?? Geezus, get a little more plugged in before trying to have discourse on the topic. Sorry for the word choice, "plugged-in" may not be appropriate for today.
Yes Cal shook hands with Deshaun. Even gave him a pat on the back. That should irk some people in here lol.
It changes nothing of what I think about Cal. The only way he could change that would be to sell the team. By the way, I have no idea who we're starting at quarterback today. Haven't cared enough to look into it.
Any player that knocks Watson out of the game should be immediately rewarded with a contract extension.
Cooks wanted to be traded because he finally realized that the offense with Davis Mills was dogshit. Even if Easterby was still here he'd be disgruntled. JJ Watt asked to be released because he didn't want to be part of a rebuild. It's the same circumstances in my book.
