Ross is an idiot, I think he’s up there with the Johnsons as being one of the worst owners in the NFL. 

 

Let him keep destroying his franchise...I'm cool with that.

The good thing about that is that ownership changes much less frequently than GMs in the NFL.  Ross is 81.  If he's healthy, he could last another decade or more.

 

It should be said that while Charles Robinson insists he's got reliable information that Ross is pushing for Watson, and Mike Florio agrees, the Miami Dolphins insist Ross doesn't involve himself in football decisions, and supports Tua Tagovailoa.

Dude is a brilliant businessman (even has his name on the University Of Michigan business school) but a terrible football man kinda the AFCs Jerry Jones

There’s a lot of BS from Miami here.  Over the past 24 hours I’ve read:

 

Ross demanded the team drafted Tua and Flores and Grier didn’t want him.  Now he’s demanding the team trades for Watson? Now Flores allegedly met with the locker room to stage his support of Tua?

 

The only thing for certain is that we know Miami doesn’t have 100% confidence in Tua

The Dolphins have a pretty good team with a handful of good to better players.  They almost made the playoffs last year.  The biggest thing holding them back is not having a franchise QB. They gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a shot while they were at it.

 

Sound familiar?  That describes most of the Bills teams over the drought years.  How many times did the Bills go chasing a QB, thinking that getting that one missing piece was going to solve all their problems.

 

Now it's Miami's turn in the ark, grasping at dust in the wind, thinking it's a sign that dry land is right ahead.

He's the AFC's Dan Snyder.  As much as I dislike Jerry Jones, his teams did win a couple of Super Bowls.  Snyder on the other hand has completely screwed up the Washington Football Team.

Dust in the wind.  Great song.  I hope Miami doesn’t get him even with a year suspension if that happens is a problem for us down the road.  Miami has a good team.  We don’t need a Watson in our division.  I may not like his personal decisions if they are true, but I certainly respect his abilities as a QB.

What I believe in all of this? I believe that it is the Miami owner looking to trade for Watson. I think in doing so he could potentially wreck their season because of the drama surrounding this, derail any resemblance of confidence Tua was possibly building, and that Flores is going to be out the door. Might be a good thing for Flores though because I think he's shown enough in the last couple of seasons to get another shot elsewhere, a place where the owner isn't a meddling buffoon. Personally, I hope Watson never plays another down in the NFL. That's just me. 1, 2, or maybe even 3? Sure it could be strictly a $$$ grab. 20+ women all with similar stories? Yeah, the odds of all of their testimonies being fake are damn near impossible. I hope Miami does trade for him with all of this draft capital they've accumulated, he never plays another down, and then they get to wallow in their stupidity for a decade looking up at us year after year.

Wow - wow and WOW!  Agree - the idiot is strong in that one.  Better for the Bills tho!

 

Go BILLS!!

 

Why is he an idiot for wanting Watson?  Haven't a bunch of poster assumed for weeks that Miami was a possible spot for him?

I really think the Fish are going to be a mess unless Tua suddenly becomes a star.  What Flores did last year in managing the QBs was borderline negligence, and now reports are that he had to have a team meeting to tell them Tua is “our QB” amid the Watson rumors.  Flores brought some toughness and discipline to the Fish but I don’t think they are any better than a 9-10 win club.

Well my first thought is when if ever will Watson be able to play?  My second thought is just because a bunch of TBD posters have clamored for Watson to go to Miami doesn't add much credence to the situation. 

 

The longer he sits the more his skills erode.  The longer he is in Miami's camp the less they have to work with for a long time.  That move in my mind will set them back dramatically.......3 firsts 2 seconds?  Ask Minny how that Herschel Walker trade worked for them?  Then ask Dallas.  Who made out?

 

I stand by my initial statement......the mans an idiot and as another poster so nicely stated.....I hope he stays the owner for many many years

Who cares when he can play?  And it certainly isn't limited to TBD posters.  The topic of where Watson will end up has been a national topic for months.  Denver was heavily discussed for weeks. Is their owner an idiot too?  

 

So you are saying that any team that even publicly shows interest Watson has idiotic ownership?  Is it because of the price they would have to pay?

 

How many elite players' skills "eroded" significantly after missing some games (injury, suspension, holdout, etc)?

 

The Walker trade??  LOL--you're kidding right?  If the Vikings were getting a young elite QB in this prime instead of an over-rated RB, then maybe even bringing this up might have some relevance.

Weo we can agree to disagree.....you obviously have some strong feelings towards this....personally I can't give a damn.  I have my thoughts towards Watson you have yours - there is the board which you use quite extensively to spout your thoughts and I do too.  You win man....go run your victory lap OK?

I was just asking why you thought an owner who wanted a widely coveted QB in his prime was an idiot.  That's all.

Well my reason is Watson is NOT worth 3 firsts and 2 seconds....sorry not going there with that ask.  He has value but imho NO where near that value.  Didn't mean to be snippy.....***** day at work today so my bad.

No problem!  I have many such days.

 

I recommend pouring yourself a Negroni---it heals all wounds!
