that was the Brady system lately but even so they evolved a lot. I wouldn’t be shocked by a change of talent levels and skill sets justified it trade joe Thuney, give the qb a decent signing bonus and low year 1 salary. Could add the qb and sign draft picks with 1 move if they want.

Yea - round 5 is where he’d find help...

while odds are he performs better you just don’t know. Is Diggs double covered and josh forces it in for an INT instead of an incompletion? im 100% on board we are a better team with him. I’m not full steam on picking plays to flip and saying “see, that simple” essentially for why we would definitely win with him.

their odds definitely go up but it’s not a gimme

yea- I get pointing a finger at them but thought they played well enough to win while the offense did not have a good game. a strong start and weak finish I suppose is by definition a collapse but think they played a much better game than the offense or given credit for

Passed from covid complications. Real bummer. what were your favorite songs or lines from him?

not only is it not perfect, it’s not really meaningful in any way.

I guess that depends on if Hopkins was the lynchpin or Watson actually is. im not saying zero impact but I think Watson is one of the better young QBs and won’t drastically regress Just because he isn’t being propped up artificially by the team around him like so many other young guys we’ve seen. He is a centerpiece player it seems.

BOB has outperformed my expectation a few times but if the team finally runs off the rails and players quit it would be about the only way I see a drastic change in Watson outside injury.

wait, you are saying the OTHER people are the persecuted while playing the woah is josh card?

Jesus... it’s disrespectful and he shouldn’t have to see people question his future?!?

i think my point flew right on by you there, maybe

having a thread about a hypothetical Watson option isn’t truly wanting to replace him any more than a “would you rather have jim Kelly at 24 years old or Allen” thread. It’s a deep in the offseason, at home quarantined, time killer way to spit ball qb values and rankings. Every fan base does this stuff even when winning.

No ones legitimately game planning to get Watson. It was a silly “no sports at all” thought activity. and there’s no reason I have to be with Allen or not. It’s really easy to think he’s a good player but not be sure long term. I think he will win a lot with a roster built around a rookie qb contract. I’m not sure if he will win as much after it’s built around a vet qb contract. Pretty standard issue for all but a very few young QBs

Saw an article the other day on some group coming back from a like 2 week wilderness excursion without technology

25+ per game is largely a myth. That’s 400+ carries. Very few have ever done it and it’s ruined careers. in this offense I expect one back at 15 carries, the other at 10 a game and over a season they split about 75-100 catches. If our RB2 totals 200 touches then he’s worth a solid pick.

Season 2 sure to be lit. Cardi b is starting a gofundme for joe who is campaigning for a presidential pardon.

to be fair it’s a backup like WR3 or your 5th guy on the DL. he will get a lot of important snaps, whoever it is. because we have luxury money I wouldn’t mind being a little silly with offering a late pick for a solid overpriced vet somewhere even. Or a vet free agent AND a day 2 pick.

meh. If they thought it was securing their qb of the future- to create space I’d say they would be willing to look into restructuring a few guys and giving a qb a deal that’s signing bonus heavy. it’s a commitment to a few guys to be there a bit but not thaaaaat difficult. Just have to bet on the right people. that’s the larger issue here. A short term deal has little flexibility in structure. If they trust him on a 4-5 year option they can do a lot more to flow money how they want.

you can do a lot to afford guys without drastic changes in the roster

worst qb room in the league really caps how high you can get.

If you had to pick a wr for the jets to pay $8m too, he’s got to be the worst realistic option. I mean that in a good for us, bad for them way. at his best he’s an $8m kind of player, but could be much worse. It’s all downside in the contract.

yup. kid understands the game- frequently breaking down what he saw on film vs on the field (and their adjustments) in post game interviews still on the field... has the physical tools too. hes not a guarantee but he’s a guy I’d take my swing with. And a pair of mid/late firsts is not crippling.

one would hope on the tail end of free agency your team would be competitive

every time I thought it was going to level out they threw gas on the dumpster fire. It was really something.
