It doesn't matter.  49ers can offer 8 firsts.  

 

This is officially Watson's choice.  

 

He holds final say.   

 

He's going to Miami.  

 

Welcome to the NBANFL

 

They can't actually. 3 years ahead is the furthest in advance you can trade picks.

I know this I'm just trying to make a point.  

 

He's going where he wants to go unless Houston tells him he can sit and pout.

Houston should not take Tua as part of the trade.  They should only accept draft choices & draft a QB of their own choosing at 3.  

Agreed. I’d certainly want another piece unless the Texans are dumb enough to believe getting Tua back will appease their fanbase. 

 

To me, the only way you do this deal is to draft a new QB early.

If Miami gets Watson you all better get ready for most of the media to proclaim Miami as the favorite in the AFC East over the offseason.

 

YUP.

 

Thankfully our QB absolutely owns that team.

But if Miami get Watson that can change very very quickly

 

Deshaun Watson doesn't play defense, but yes, of course those games become tougher.  

 

All the more reason why this offseason is massive.  We've climbed the AFCE mountain and now need to stay there.

Atlanta is too cap restricted to make it work I think. And I am not sure he would go to Detroit but sure they could be interested. 

I agree.

 

Atlanta & Detroit are just as much of a mess as Houston is. There is no real upside for Watson to go to them, at least not immediately.

 

The NFC team that makes the most sense is San Francisco, they would be dominant with him.

Houston's dysfunctional ownership continues to screw up the league, and it disproportionately affects Buffalo.  To recap:

 

1)  Trades 2 #1st to Miami for Tunsil, giving the Dolphins a top-five pick; Tunsil wasn't extended in advance, giving players in a similar position additional negotiating leverage.

 

2) Trades Hopkins for peanuts; Hopkins single-handedly beats Buffalo in 2020

 

3) Hires David Culley instead of Leslie Frazier, giving extra draft capital to the best GM in football

 

4) Likely trades a top-five QB in his prime to the AFC East

He’s not top 5 maybe top 10 but point taken

Miami is only the favorite because their coach just happens to be near the media this week.   When I hear something like "Flores really wants Watson" I think well no s Sherlock, what coach in the NFL that doesnt have a top tier QB on their roster wouldnt?    We will see how this plays out, but if I am Houston I want draft picks and someone I can start at QB next season.   Miami has draft picks, and a QB who they didnt think enough of to let finish games he started.

 

In my mind the Jets or 49ers are the favorites.

There is only 1 favorite.

 

The team Watson wants to go to.  

 

That's it.  

 

And Houston is going to be forced to trade him in conference.....imagine if we had to do that with Allen?

 

This is ridiculous.  We aren't the NBA.  

 

 

Who is "we"? 🤣

The Jets have the draft ammo, a tradeable young QB who still has promise, and the cap space.  They make too much sense.

If Darnold goes to Houston, his career is basically over, Houston’s owners are, dare I say, worse than the jets, that boy is screwed, he must have done something really bad in his last life...

Well...they probably would be.  Their defense was 10 slots better than ours, they led the league in TO, and with better QB'ing they could arguably win 2-3 more games.  I get it we're the defending AFC East winners and went to the AFC championship, but the world would be waiting to see if we can be consistent with excellence.

 

Now that said, a lot depends upon who they wind up with as OC.  And OCs probably want to know...am I coaching Tua?  Or Watson?

Ken Dorsey, maybe?

Watson is absolutely top 5 right now.

 

Disclaimer: I started this reply to prove you wrong, but as I list them, I'm changing my tune to possibly agree with you.

 

1. Mahomes

2. Rodgers

3. Allen

4. Wilson?

5.

 

And not too many others I'd put up there. So yeah, I'll give Watson as a Top 5.

That's been speculated, but Buffalo has been out of contention and Dorsey available for 4 days now, nothing known about them asking him to interview, and they haven't been secretive about ID'ing their candidates of interest so far.

 

The Phins just hired a QB coach, Charlie Frye.  They have identified running backs coach Eric Studesville and tight ends coach George Godsey internal candidates.  The other candidate was said to be Chargers QB coach Pep Hamilton.

 

I think it's possible that OC candidates want to know "who is my QB?"

If we're talking right now, maybe Brady?  I think I'd actually put Watson ahead of Wilson, but that's just based on how poorly Wilson played the last half of this season.  In terms of which QB you'd take over the next 10 years if you were starting from scratch, it's got to be Mahomes, Allen, then Watson, right?  Too soon to tell with Herbert or Burrow...

I don't necessarily disagree, but if you look at Brady's numbers this year, and what he's done with a team that missed the playoffs last year, you can certainly make a case for him.

Right. The old guys make it a tougher list, but I'm not including them. Even Rodgers is getting up there. I did think about Burrow and Herbert, but left them as well.

Niners are interesting. They would be clear SB favourites on the NFC side for years to come.

 

How so?

 

Watson to the Niners is an awful fit.

 

Kyle Shanahan is looking for an elite game manager type to operate his run-first scheme. Make quick reads, quick decisions, get rid of the ball quickly.

 

That is the opposite of Watson's game.

 

Watson is a freelancer who likes to hold onto the football and play out of structure, and look for the deep ball.

 

Niners with Watson < Niners with Jimmy G. Jimmy G is a much much better fit for that scheme than Watson.

I instantly discount anything Stephen A Smith says. He has the worst hot takes I’ve ever seen.
