2020 has us arguing and bickering and choosing sides like never before IMO. Much of the discussion (euphemism) is not only on this season but next. O'Brien's extension goes through 2022 but can see him if here in 2021 in negotiations. There exists three "factions" on MB 1) OB haters 2) Watson Lovers 3) Not sure on either but willing to see how 2020 goes.
This thread is to discuss 2021 if record is as many think 7 wins or less. Scenario is restricted to following whether you agree or not:
#1 O'Brien has '21 & '22 left on extension but has taken significant step back from 2019. None of us know what McNairs opinion will be but I think 90 % they will not be happy. 7-9 looks bad on Watson and all coaching. Six or seven wins, I think O'Brien remains through 2021 as I just don't agree that 2020 is his "prove it" season. Less than 6 Ws he might be removed.
#2 Watson plays 2020 as his 4th season and 2021 fifth season option has been exercised. I just don't see him having another year of 2019 stats which were good and team going seven Ws or less. If he has comparable stats and WRs are relatively healthier than 2019's it would be my position Dashaun has plateaued. Of course there will be arguing but if O'Brien is HC 2021 Watson has to go. It would be better for him and for team.
7-9 gets us about 12ish in draft but..round three. Do we be thankful Texans waited to extend him & saved millions and allow him to play out season five (2021) or trade him for what we can get? Yes I know OB's history but what value would Watson have leaving OB out of it as he could be gone? Watson in 2021 or McCarron if he re-signs? Could AJ prove to be a "game manager" and lead team to 8-8 or better in 2021 allowing us to wait for 2022 and our round one and two back in our hands?Either way do we cherry pick certain guys for roster and trade as many assets as possible to hit draft hard 2021?
My concern is we have a repeat of W/L record, O'Brien and Watson in 2020 and we just chug along.
