Victory Formation Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It would never happen.. it’d take so many picks over the next 5 drafts that any team trading for him would be barren for the next decade..

UKBillFan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Depends which team came in for him. Watson and Josh are close to a like-for-like so the team who instigated it may chuck in a draft pick as well. Mahomes would be a swap with us giving the Chiefs a few picks in return. Josh’d be unaffordable to anyone else, either because age (Brady, Rodgers, Wilson) or quality is in his favour. Edit: Picks, not pucks!

eball Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I know the thread is about what Josh might fetch in light of the Stafford trade, but to me it’s a moot point since it’s franchise suicide to trade a bonafide top 5 QB in the prime of his career. In that regard, I still don’t believe Watson will be traded. The Texans have to find a way to make that work. 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Josh is worth more to us than anybody else because he fits in Buffalo. I actually think WAtson’s trade value is probably slightly higher because he’s dominated from Day 1. Probably still some Josh doubters out there because he’s only played at this level for 1 year. That said, I wouldn’t take 5 first round picks for Josh. I’d consider a trade for Mahomes and that’s it. There’s no QB who’s a better fit for Buffalo than Josh. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Given his skin coloring in the Chiefs game, we’d be lucky to garner a first round pick and two thirds. 20 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Let's face it folks threads like this one and the multi page threads on Watson & Stafford only confirm that Bills fans have a bad case of off season speculative syndrome. For the last 25 years we have approached every off season like a gambleholic approaches a poker game. We have months to scheme preseason moves that will finally land the Bills a franchise QB and a playoff birth. But damn, this years Bills have spoiled that fun and now we have to exist in a world where we have a franchise QB and the Super Bowl is a legitimate goal. Where's the fun in that? I'm envious of Detroit fans who now can imagine all the pro-bowlers those 1st round picks will garner. Or how Goff will return to his super bowl year. And imagine how much fun the Rams fans are having as they speculate on how their almost elite new QB, who never won much in Detroit, will lead their elite defense (the one Allen and the Bills torched but I digress) to the Super Bowl. And I can only guess at the ecstasy surging through Miami & Jets fans in anticipation of landing the Watson. Who cares if they have to give up their first born child to get him. Think of all the awesome scenarios for any team that lands a top 5 QB like Watson. The outcome is guaranteed just like when the Bills landed Bledsoe! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personality is key as well; after what has happened at Houston you have to wonder when Deshaun might pitch a fit toward the administration, especially if things aren't going well. They have been no concerns about Josh on that score to date. But I agree, on balance, taking into account age and quality I'd say the current pecking order is Mahomes, Watson and Allen. However I'd say Watson has reached his ceiling (albeit he'd look better surrounded by a stronger offense) whilst Josh should still have room to grow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not straight up though. You're losing cap space. We still have 2 years of Allen at bargain cap hits. About $10 million difference in cap space in 2021 and nearly $20 million in 2022.

SCBills Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) 56 minutes ago, McBean said: I’d trade Josh for Watson straight up. I love Allen too btw, but I think DW is a a little better. Watson came into the league a well coached, experienced QB out of Clemson. He’s played at a Top 10 level for his 4 years in the NFL. Josh Allen came into the league as raw as a QB can be. By Year 3, he’s now had a year better than any Watson has had. A top 3 QB in the NFL this year, with the offense on his shoulders, and two playoff wins. If you’re worried about that continuing, Watson is a safer bet and trading Allen for Watson makes sense. If you believe Allen will continue to play at a high level, trading for Watson is a horrible decision when Allen’s ceiling is higher than any QB in the NFL. *Also, Watson grew up in Georgia, played college ball in South Carolina and his NFL career has been in a Dome/AFC South.... Buffalo/AFCE is a different animal for a guy who doesn’t have an elite arm. Edited January 31, 2021 by SCBills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with No Name Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 you better get a marquee player, not just picks. 3 first round picks sounds great, and then you realize there is a strong chance they will all be mid 20s and higher. Small chance you are replacing a franchise qb with that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock'em Sock'em Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Part of the deal with taking Goff was taking on that contract, otherwise it would have been fewer picks. We'll see what Watson goes for, but he should will be traded for Tua and two firsts. That makes too much sense. Allen's value would be similar, but he is really not tradable. For example, would you trade Allen for Watson and a 2022 1st? Seems about fair based on production and contract status, but that would just be a betrayal to all of the fans, the teammates, and to Allen.

Interesting. Allen for Watson and Tunsil is very interesting. But I think your point about the locker room trumps everything. Between his teammates and the fan, Allen is 100% untradeable.

Charles Romes Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Realistically, I think you would have to start at 4 1s to be taken seriously but that would not be enough.

A top 3 QB like Josh can carry his team to playoff contender status every year even if the rest of the roster is totally mismanaged. So, paradox here. The Rams gave up a haul to get Stafford as though he's a top QB - 2 1sts, 3rd, a QB who won the NFC championship 3 yrs ago and contended in the division round (with a broken thumb) this year. Yet in Stafford's 12 years, the Lions have sniffed the playoffs 3x and been bowled out in the WC round each time. Green Bay has a legit HOF candidate in Rodgers, and even there, they have 1 SB ring and 4 NFC championship losses. Those are pretty much all in years where they had a top-15 defense, and they won the SB the year the defense was #2. Me, I love me some Josh, but I don't think even a tippy-top QB can make a team a legit contender on his own. It truly is a team game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
