    Joe Milton released by Dallas. Would probably be an improvement over any of the four QBs on our roster. Do we take a swing?

    I would've said yes, until this past April's draft when we drafted one of those QB's.

    So, here we go into another season with major concerns at the QB position. The main question being, will we be drafting one at the top of next year's draft. Here's my take: Yes (short answer)

    Why: Sanders couldn't beat out Watson for the starting job. Monken is well aware that Watson's odds of being on the team next year are quite low. And that he's hated by the fans. If Sanders were anywhere near close to Watson's perceived abilities, he'd be the starter. So I'm assuming that Sanders isn't even close. Which means that we want to improve upon him next April by trying to settle the QB position once and for all.

    By this time next year he will be a distant memory.

    Can't happen fast enough.

    I agree, but with a slightly different version of your take on QB1.

    Watson starting is confirmation to me that we are tanking. The fan base hates him already, so the FO can blame the lost season on him, while getting the early picks they want. Maybe Sanders gets a few games towards the end of the season, when all is already lost (as intended). Thereby taking away any counter to drafting a QB and revamping the room.

    I see Monken as having too much character to be party to that sort of thing. I'm going with Occom's Razor on this. Monken simply doesn't think Sanders is as good as Watson.

    And if we wanted to tank, we were 2 games away from Fernando Mendoza last year. Everyone's Mom loves him. Instead we won our final 2 games and fell to 6th pick.

    There is however, a certain couple of facts. Arch Manning will be in this draft. And Haslem wants to be associated with the Mannings in the worst way,

    Is this informant the Limo driver? It would be quite sad if true. With Haslam at the winter meetings saying out loud that the Watson thing was a swing and a miss....I find it odd that now he wants to go up to the plate yet again, with the same bat.

    It has to be Jimmy.. He went to his wedding for Christ sake!.. jimmy is a dumb asshole... And now Moken is a big asshole for going along with this shit... jimmy doesn't give a fuck and neither does Monken.... And we know Deshaun doesn't give a shit.... They all got their money... And like always.. The fans pay for it.. Why in hell did I think it would be different this year?

    Probably because of DePo's departure.

    I'm going to hope that starting Watson was Monken's decision and that he didn't put any weight into Haslam's opinions.

  • the o-line did not play together at all in pre season , are these first two games just trying to see if they gel ? maybe just let #4 get beat up and hopefully they play well for #2 ?

    edit : Barber is starting for the rest of the year

    ...actually, I'm usually a pessimist...that way I'm not as disappointed.

    If Monken actually chose Watson because he was the best of his QB Crop, then the question actually is: As badly as Watson has played, how bad must Sanders be to not get the call to start? He'd have to be pretty bad.

    Haslam has always struck me as the guy that wants Glitz! He wants the Glitzy guy. I would argue that Watson is not the glitzy guy in comparison to Sanders. Sanders is far more popular with the fans. Heck, his father is Prime Time! I would've thought that Haslam would've liked nothing better than for Watson to be mostly invisible on the bench this season and then put the Watson deal to bed next June.

    I suspect Haslam will resign Watson and not draft a highly rated QB

    I think the Martian 'air' is starting to get to ya. That wouldn't be at all glitzy. No, the draft is where one can get maximum glitz.

    It'll be Arch (Max Glitz) Manning.

  • β€œDee and Jimmy Haslam really want a winning football team for that city. It is no doubt about it. I know there’s questions about whether they are too hands-on and they need to back away, or whatever it is, but at the same time with some of these circumstances, I would never say that it’s just black and white,” Landry said.
