saundena Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I live in Houston and I think Watson wants out. Just my gut feeling. DW's no dummy and I think he, just like anybody, sees the long term harm that BoB is doing to that franchise. So, if BoB is there, I don't think there is any amount of money that Houston can offer DW to convince him to stay, especially if he has his pick of potential suitors. Now, if BoB is let go because (a) BoB ruined the franchise or (b) ownership senses that DW won't stay with HOU if BoB is still around, then all bets are off and DW might stick around. Of course, if the Texans turn into the burning dumpster filled with baby diarrhea diapers that I expect them to, getting rid of BoB might not be enough to keep DW around. He' be entering his prime and again; could have his pick of teams and still make a lot of $$$. Maybe even Buffalo!

Hampton Josh fan Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Why would any rational fan give up on JA after watching him perform with the less than stellar skill players in his first 2 years. He is a warrior and plays the whole season. His teammates love the guys toughness and plays better at the end of games. Deshawn is good but is more likely to get hurt and has played with a better supporting cast. JA has 2 more years to prove he can take us all the way. Support this man. He is capable of great things with better o-line play and the receivers Beane has provided , he should be markedly better. Phil Simms was either hurt or bad for 5 seasons before he became borderline HOF. A lot of this is learning the league and continuity of coaching and personnel. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So mark you down as a pay what it takes for Watson then? Nobody said anything bad about Josh in the thread. I think Russell Wilson is better than Josh Allen, that doesn't mean Josh sucks. Hell, if Russ were on the market at the same time we had to extend Josh, I would say the same thing, something to think about. It is something that EVERY.SINGLE.GM. should think about should the option arise. It isn't like the ask is, "Would you pay Tannehill top 10 money and let Josh walk". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why consider Wilson In his mid thirties at the time to extend JA if he wins a few divisions and playoff games. The question was Watson, and I just think JA has a bigger upside. Give him another season with Diggs and better O-line play and that thread will seem silly. I'm a JA fan so factor that in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 1 hour ago, JohnC said: Why would you take heat for stating the obvious that Watson is now and will always be a better qb than Josh? And that preference is not a slight on Allen who I think is going to be a good qb. As with you I consider Mahomes as the best qb with the advantage of youth over Wilson. I have a high regard for Russell Wilson but would take Watson over him because he is a younger qb. The Bills had the opportunity to draft either Mahomes or Watson a couple of years ago. They didn't seize on that opportunity. It was a mistake. Can I borrow that crystal ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how your supreme confidence will hold up when Watson's receiving corps is deployed with no Hopkins. This would be similar to what JA went to war with in the playoffs. Watson is a very good QB, and is below 500 in playoffs with a serious injury on his resume. You want to tie your wagon to him, best of luck.

LABILLBACKER Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Assuming this season even happens we'll know once and for all in year 3 what we have in Josh. He's got a solid wr group. He'll have Singletary and probably a really good drafted RB2. If Knox improves and the O-line doesn't regress, he can't possibly screw this up. But if he does this will be the year we find out. I personally think he will make another incremental improvement into the mid 90's qb rating. And lead the Bills to a 10-6 AFCE title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't put him in that category. I quite clearly have those two in a category all on their own. That is my point. I think Watson sits in the next group with 4 or 5 others. You are still not getting it. I don't consider any sort of money is sufficient to make me root against Allen's success. I wouldn't take the bet if you were offering me Mahomes and Wilson combined to be out performed by Allen. It still involves financially investing in rooting against the Bills.
