I think it would be cool if someone could superimpose Bud Adams shooting his fingers with Jilly on a jet ski.Is that worse than your bud DW on his jet ski with his class act companion shooting the finger?

Yes you are!!I'm the crazy one, I'm predicting seven wins.
In a rape/sexual assault case if the complainant recants, the powers that be generally drop their investigation.DW knows he wont play another snap here in houston. Settle and play somewhere else…… wait….. cant settle criminal cases. Whomever gave this man legal advise before the crim cases needs a smackdown.
I hated those days... halfway through the season "we" start hoping for the best draft position.I am predicting 6/7 wins based on the worse possible thing for the Texans would better than expected but still not good keeping the team away from an elite draft position.
Better than a 4 win season and no first or second round picks. But yeah, drafting in the mid to late teens is a kick in the teeth.I hated those days... halfway through the season "we" start hoping for the best draft position.
I am still predicting Watson suits up week 1 as the starter. I don't see a scenario in which we can trade him until the legal issues are fixed, and we might as well get our money's worth from him. It's in his best interest to continue to shine on the field because if he can settle or get rid of the lawsuits and avoid criminal charges, he will still need to show he can play, and missing an entire year will not help him stay at the top of his game.
Word from camp today, he's playing safety.I am still predicting Watson suits up week 1 as the starter.

I also read somewhere that Tunsil was playing LB. So I don't think it's just a Watson thing, but I'm really confused as to what is going on.Word from camp today, he's playing safety.
There's only so much more of this that he'll take, then it's going to be a hamstring, or a lower back issue.
The Texans are going to have to decide if they'll allow him to take up a roster spot, or maybe put him on IR.

Honestly I rather the 9 wins hoping against hope to get lucky playoff year than wishing for draft position and not even getting that.I hated those days... halfway through the season "we" start hoping for the best draft position.
I think it's a chicken & egg thing, but not really. You rarely see the good teams with the "best" draft position.Honestly I rather the 9 wins hoping against hope to get lucky playoff year than wishing for draft position and not even getting that.

We've had more #1 overall picks than the KC Chiefs since 2002.
Bad teams pick early, unless they were fleeced by a good team.

Seems many players are playing weird spots right now. He’s been seen helping Mills. I think you’ll see him get more and more reps at qb with the starters as he gets more familiar with the playbook.Word from camp today, he's playing safety.

As much as guys around here hate watson he still gives the team the best chance to win. If he isn’t gonna be suspended or traded it would be foolish to let the asset sit on the bench. If winning is the goal you have to play your best player IMO.
He is the best way to a rebuild. If he doesn't take a snap, this team can win 4-5 games which would put them in that spot you dont want to be in. With him, they can get to 10 imo.

You’re forgetting his not wanting to play for this organization. He’s only here now because the commish didn’t do what he, and all of us expected, and that’s put him on the CEL. And now he’s here only to avoid fines, but if he isn’t traded by the end of camp, he’ll then sit out.

I don’t know. Do you want him in your playbook if he is going to another team?Word from camp today, he's playing safety.

I agree. And I think he can not want to be here but still want to play and play well. It’s in his best interest to continue to play at an elite level. It’s his legacy and career. Not playing for an entire year would hurt his career and would hurt his trade value.You’re forgetting his not wanting to play for this organization.

Of course Watson is the best chance for this team to win, he’s a top tier talent. But that didn’t matter last year because the team around him was so bad. Not sure how much better that part is, if any.
The Texans can say they’re going to play him because he’s their best chance to win all they want. If Watson doesn’t want to play for this organization, it ain’t happening.
Until I hear where Watson has changed his tune on that, he will not be in uniform week 1. I don’t know how much he’s doing at the QB position the last couple of days, but the fact that he’s been seen on defense quite a bit I think is a sign he’s not committed to playing for the Texans. And the Texans know this, so why take reps away from Taylor and Mills?
That’s emotion talking not logic. This at the end of the day is a business. You don’t sit your best player.He’s by far the most talented QB on this team.
But he’s quit on this team and has lost the right to be a leader.
My QB has to be a real leader.
Start the rook.
Look at how Jalen Ramsey played it. Same agent. Watson is most likely going to do the sameI agree. And I think he can not want to be here but still want to play and play well. It’s in his best interest to continue to play at an elite level. It’s his legacy and career. Not playing for an entire year would hurt his career and would hurt his trade value.
All this assuming the lawsuits get cleared up.
Before his legal issues maybe. But not now. I think he plays. We will see in the coming weeks how it shakes out.Look at how Jalen Ramsey played it. Same agent. Watson is most likely going to do the same

Isn’t Watson exhibiting emotions versus logic? I understand you wanting Watson to play here, unfortunately he doesn’t want to play here. And before you say he didn’t say this or that, his actions suggest otherwise. Right now he’s just going through the motions to avoid not getting paid.
Yes, he was. But it sounds like he put his big boy pants on and went to work. Again, he can still not want to be here, but the reality is we cannot trade him and he seems to know it.Isn’t Watson exhibiting emotions versus logic?

And like Texans fans, Packers fans locally are mocking Aaron, calling him Karen and saying they should trade him. Once he plays week 1 and wins, they will shut up and be in his corner again.So , how did the Packers get Rodgers to come back in the fold?
But so do the ones that don’t want to be here but have to kiss ass in an attempt to mitigate problems with the NFL and a couple of legal issues. He’s getting paid more than hotel door porter for that butt kissing.
But he’s wearing a hoodie
I hadn't even heard of him until yesterday, when TK had posted something from him.Why are we quoting Big Sarge? My understanding is he’s the worst in the business. And that’s saying something because it’s bad here.
Wasn’t me.I hadn't even heard of him until yesterday, when TK had posted something from him.

You ever work a job you hate but show up and do the job still every day? That's what is going to happen.
I still think you trade him next off-season (assuming his legal issues get cleared up) unless magically there is a reconciliation between the front office and him. And like anything, winning can cure a lot of issues.
I've also been speculating that Watson's problems may extend into 2023. It's only costing the Texans about $10M this year, but it's going to cost, I believe, $40.4M in 2022, on top of taking up one of the 53 roster spots.We can not compare jobs or situations on our job with his. He just signed a max contract with this organization well over 170 million through 4 years. We will never see that type of pay on our jobs.
He had no other choice but to put in his big boy pants and show up to work. Or he would’ve been paying fines.
That’s exactly what I said a few days ago. They’ve talked and both parties knows he won’t be traded this year. They also knows their a good chance his legal issues won’t be resolved until maybe 2023. If things somehow works in his favor, then next season we might be able to trade him.
Right now this is a very uncomfortable situation. The Texans brought in TT to be the starter this season. So now if Watson is able to play, now TT will have to be the backup. Unfortunate for him right, because like we all know Watson at the helm gives a better chance at winning games.
You make him play the next two years and let him know there is zero percent he will be traded.I've also been speculating that Watson's problems may extend into 2023.

There's no getting around this unless the Texans just outright release him; or if Goodell suspends him; that is, unless he's traded.
So the million dollar question is, will a team trade if Watson's legal issues still are not resolved by April 2022?
The best deal for the Texans is to bite the bullet and unload his contract in the next couple of weeks, allowing the trading team to at least get some valuable playing time this year.
Is there any other realistic scenario out there?
Isn't that the most important thing at the end of the day? Remember when it was reported DW4 wasn't answering calls? Well, he's there now, can't miss him. Guess who we haven't seen at camp?And like Texans fans, Packers fans locally are mocking Aaron, calling him Karen and saying they should trade him. Once he plays week 1 and wins, they will shut up and be in his corner again.
Make him play? If he has no intention or desire to play for this organization, how do you "make" him play?You make him play the next two years and let him know there is zero percent he will be traded.
That’s another thing that made trading him in 2021 attractive to other teamsIt's only costing the Texans about $10M this year,
Great interviews. Never saw Tyrod speak before. Awesome person, real Black Knight. Gotta love DC and this group of players. DC is smart like a fox. I expect a lot from him.
What have you heard?Doesnt sound like Mr. Mills is having a good day at the office
