Not that I agree with this take, but one could make the argument that the Cardinals are closer to being a SB team (Not winner, but team) because they are in the wide open NFC and do not have to go through KC.

Outside of KC there is no other team I would rather be on than the Buffalo Bills. I’m not even saying that because I’m a Bills fan. Nobody else has a chance to take down KC than us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Probably a combination of both. He was basically saying to the Texans that they weren't good enough for him (or he was better than them) so it's not surprising that they are bitter about it. But I also dont think that we will see him get better, or even get close to the level where he used to play. This was his last chance to get a bigtime contract, and he came out on top, IMO. But I doubt there is a super bowl in AZ's future because of the signing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbbillsfan Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I don't know if this is bitter or truthful. You can believe me or not, but I have a close relationship with one of the premier NFL agents. What I have been told many times (prior to Watt being cut) is that he is strongly disliked in NFL circles, particularly by other players. I have heard he is a total phony, obsessed with creating an image/resume that does not accurately reflect his person. That he is incredibly self-centered and egotistical. Could he have helped our defense, probably, but I won't lose any sleep over not getting him. Edited March 1, 2021 by nbbillsfan 8 1 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been called out for freelancing a number of times. Particularly in 2015 or 2016 I think when the Texans D got off to a very poor start. I've seen criticisms since that he abandons the playbook to rush the passer and as a result the Texans get scorched against the run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 So I think there is some truth to the "he did stuff to hurt the defense" because Watt has always been a risk taker. He plays to make big play. But the "he hurt us more than he helped us" is bull. The positive way outweighs the negative. Just joining the dots the Texans DC last year was Anthony Weaver a former Bills position coach. Reed's source maybe?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cards have to leap-frog every NFC Playoff team from 2020, including 2 in their Division, and the SB Champs. The Bills have to leapfrog KC and the SB Champs who exposed KC...And that's IF TB gets back to the SB next year... So... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It’s all true. Believe it or not, I am good friends with the guy who cleans Watt’s pool.

It felt like The Decision. “I’m going to take my talents to Arizona”. I mentioned it elsewhere (and this is from memory, so...) he had 26.5 sacks in the last 5 years. And 16 of those came in one year. That’s about 5/year. You could argue “well, he was hurt”, to which I would reply “yes, he sure was hurt a lot.” I’m glad the FO had the restraint to pass at that price tag. He was all about the money and the attention. I’d have loved him at the right price. That was NOT the right price. 28 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I will admit that I have sometimes looked at his photographs and had just that thought.

Very true, Armstrong like Watt is/was a dick, and all about the money and fame, and pro PED use, during both of their entire careers. The difference is that the pro cycling world looks at Armstrong as a pariah, even though his competition was doping just as much as he was, the football world on the other hand loves them some PED users, always has always will.

So I'm a little more apt to believe a report like this today than I was yesterday... It’s actually a good negotiation tactic if you want to maximize your earnings. Drive up your price among the lesser teams by getting them to really make it worth it to you to play for them. “I’d really rather play for the Bills or Bucs so if the contracts are close, then I’m going with one of them. Oh, how much more did you say?” Then put our some half truth or total BS about not taking the most money/best contract offer. Nicely played.
