Top 3 Houston Reporters: Watson to Miami This Week

[EDGECRUSHER]

This is per the top 3 reporters in Houston and they seem to all be credible.

If this happens, I really may need to walk away from this franchise for a few years. Watson was a Pro Bowler or played at that level last year and Houston won 4 games. He won't be able to fix the Coaching, O-Line, Defense and Health issues, that's even if he isn't suspended or incarcerated. This is 100% Grier trying to save his job by trading away valuable assets and placing the blame on Tua. If this trade looks to go through and it's for a massive haul and Ross okays it, we are absolutely done for years to come. No cap room, no picks, no one with a brain running the show.

As if I thought this season couldn't get any worse.

Depends what the trade is for.  First rounder = bad trade.  4th round pick that becomes a second round pick if the Dolphins make the playoffs = worth taking a shot.

No, this is probably going to be Tua and our 1st rounders for 2022 and 2023, which would be 3 in total. New rumors say it's a 3 team deal with Tua going to Washington. No way Houston has come this far and will say for pennies on the dollar.

If Ross is dumb enough to approve this kind of move (which is Flores and Grier blaming the players for poor coaching and list management, and abandoning their rebuild early to save their own asses), then our team is doomed until Ross is no longer owner.

It remains to be seen if this is actually going to happen or not (Local Dallas sports radio is talking about it this afternoon too).  But if it does, Miami had better not give up much.  As many holes as the team has, if the get Watson they are essentially going to be the Houston Texans of the two previous years.   Excellent QB and a crappy rest of the team and a terrible record.

Basically, yes. Unfortunately, for as dumb as the Texans are, does anyone really see them giving up Watson for a 3rd round pick? They waited this long, they will keep waiting until they get a package they like.

Going to be hard to stay loyal if this trade goes through and we willingly get fleeced.

Another disturbing consideration about the Dolphins "brain trust" is that IF they trade Tua, that means that they spent a #5 overall pick last year on a guy who they are willing to trade away after only 12 career starts.  So that would mean that either the Dolphins are stupid for giving up on Tua after only 12 starts OR the Dolphins are stupid for spending a #5 overall pick on someone who was so bad that they knew after only 12 starts that he wasn't the answer at QB for them.

And they would be doing this after Tua's best game as a pro. Sadly, everyone is saying that Ross is the one pushing for this because he is just delusional. He is 81 and wants to win now but he would be replacing the guy who isn't the problem. If this trade goes through and it's for a huge draft haul, this might set us back another 5 years at least.

I've softened a little on getting Watson. By a little I mean that I'd trade Tua and a 1 (one) 2023 1st round pick for Watson. That's assuming that we have two 1st round picks in 2023. That's all I'd pony up.

Bad publicity

I'm not against Watson in a vacuum, he is a very talented QB. The issue I have is we tanked a whole season for Tua and want to quit on him after 12 games, with the 12th being his best one. He never had an O-Line, Running Game or Coaching and they think trading away all of our first rounders until 2024(at least) and cap space for another QB is going to solve everything.

We are not a Watson away from contending, we need an entire coaching overhaul and this is going to delay that for awhile.

How many years in prison is Watson facing?

How many years in prison is Watson facing?

20 different women so if convicted, life without parole.

He won't see a second of jail time for many reasons, two of them being the women will take a payoff and they can't actually prove anything otherwise he would've been arrested by now. The only true concern is suspension and that could come if he settles out of court, not so much if he fights it and wins. The girls don't want to expose themselves to perjury either so it's an interesting case from a legal standpoint.

This is a desperate panic move from a GM and coach that see themselves getting fired if they miss the playoffs.

This is buying a scratch-off because you don't have rent money.
