    I Into ALL of it.

    But let's just start with you wanting to blame this on Hopkins trade, which was pointed out the extension was signed MONTHS after. Which was the point in the mentioning he doesn't get some kind of better deal by signing that extension.

    And sorry Mr. Know it all, have to have some kind of strong opinion on something (even when you don't even know the subject), and refuse to admit anything is wrong with anything, but I REFUSE TO DO YOUR WORK FOR YOU. If you want to learn, go online and find the many articles, reports, etc. on it. It might not make you appear so uninformed.

    As for the guys to listen to, I dunno it was within the last month you said multiple times that the "experts" were the only people's opinions you take (aside from yourself I am sure). But of course we already know that you believe you know more than them so don't know why I even bothered.

    As for health, no that was not REPORTED anywhere, but it absolutely was in the post you replied to, and one of the reasons why Harden/Watson situation can be viewed differently.

    And you honestly have to be the dumbest smart person I have seen. Especially when you contradict yourself in the same post. So you acknowledge that it's reported that Watson wants out even if they hired his choice, yet the Texans may think it could help resolve issues if they did? And if THEY believe that, why shouldn't you????

    The way you act, there is no denying why people have said they blocked you. But you won't get away with your idiotic stuff with me Ghoolump (figure it out smart guy, multiple people have said your messages remind of BOTH of them.

    Oh, and P.S., if it is the hour that you want to trust the "experts", people in the know, etc. Then Watson preferred destination is the Jets. And wouldn't you know it, their new head coach is NOT BLACK. Since it has been REPORTED that the final 2 for Texans was Bienemy and Frazier, lets assume one gets the job. For your "want for a Black coach" (we won't even mention GM again), he would have to Stay in HOU, Go to Pittsburgh, or Go to Miami. 

    So since you went out of your way to want to make it racially motivated (and others besides me on here and certainly almost every report is against that as well), it appears you have a 9.375% chance of even having a conversation of it being about race.

    Not asking you to do any work for me.  This is just one of hundreds of football subjects I perhaps discuss on here every day.  Its not worth my time....nor yours to worry so much about it. 

    As for the guys to listen to, I dunno it was within the last month you said multiple times that the "experts" were the only people's opinions you take (aside from yourself I am sure). But of course we already know that you believe you know more than them so don't know why I even bothered.

    Not sure where you are getting that.  

    As for health, no that was not REPORTED anywhere, but it absolutely was in the post you replied to, and one of the reasons why Harden/Watson situation can be viewed differently.

    OK, whatever. I must have missed it. 

    And you honestly have to be the dumbest smart person I have seen. Especially when you contradict yourself in the same post. So you acknowledge that it's reported that Watson wants out even if they hired his choice, yet the Texans may think it could help resolve issues if they did? And if THEY believe that, why shouldn't you????

    I don't know what I believe in this situation...other than that it appears he wants out.  Otherwise I am not privy to anything...and often I am just repeating what I am hearing on TV talk shows.  I am no "insider".  

    The way you act, there is no denying why people have said they blocked you. But you won't get away with your idiotic stuff with me Ghoolump (figure it out smart guy, multiple people have said your messages remind of BOTH of them.

    Not sure what your obsession is with me.  Other than perhaps you wish to be the purveyor of my ennui. 

    Oh, and P.S., if it is the hour that you want to trust the "experts", people in the know, etc. Then Watson preferred destination is the Jets.

For your "want for a Black coach" (we won't even mention GM again), he would have to Stay in HOU, Go to Pittsburgh, or Go to Miami. 

    I know he would like to go to the Jets.  I heard it on TV.  Saleh is a minority.   Like I said,  I have only been speculating and guessing on his motivation, and repeating what I have heard on TV. 

    So since you went out of your way to want to make it racially motivated (and others besides me on here and certainly almost every report is against that as well), it appears you have a 9.375% chance of even having a conversation of it being about race.

    Like I said, again...the YOU you refer to is not me, but people on TV I have heard discuss the issue.  (and actually, your math is bad...because I have a 100% chance of having a conversation of it being about race.....after all....that is what much of this conversation with you has been, and to be honest, as far as I can tell, you are the ONLY one on here I am having this conversation with.) 

  • About Stafford, he is one of my favorite QBs. I love his attitude and he is tough as nails. He hasn't missed many games and has played through many injuries. 

    I think he has never been the main problem for the low performance by the Lion's and whoever gets him will have a reliable QB. I don't know about the contract, but I wouldn't like seeing him go if I were a Lions fan. 

    I might be mistaken, though. 

  • Just saw Mel Kiper and the other ESPN talking heads talking about the Falcons drafting a QB at 4

    It makes sense to me.  I like the Falcons, so I follow them a bit.

    My thinking is why wait until you absolutely need a QB, or any position, when you are in a position to grab that position?  Sure, if Ryan was 27, you don't, but he isn't.  I don't think many are now complaining about the Packers selecting Rodgers when they did, or SF trading for Steve Young.

    Just because a team selects a player doesn't mean they are ready to move on from the incumbent.  To me it's called planning ahead.

    Yes,  but often the incumbent QB gets all butthurt when the team tries to do some future planning.  See:  Packers/Rodgers. 

  • So.   QB Scorecard.   Teams that could   have a change at QB.......later to be filled in with who they did get:

    1. Colts

    2. Saints

    3. Texans

    4. Lions.....Jared Goff....to Lions in trade with Rams

    5. Cowboys

    6. Bears

    7. Jaguars.....belief is that  Trevor Lawrence will be the guy...noting official until the draft. 

    8. Patriots

    9. Broncos

    10.  Washington

    11. Eagles

    12. Panthers

    13. Dolphins

    14. Falcons

    15. 49ers

    16. Steelers

    17.  Packers

    18. Rams?  Matt Stafford to Rams in trade for Goff.

    Over half the teams in the league. 

    Note...this does not include Tampa whom we all believe will have stability with a 44 year old QB at the helm. 

  • So, look at it another way:  which teams do NOT have an issue at QB?  By division:

    AFCE:  Only Buffalo with Josh Allen

    AFCS:  Only  Tennessee with Ryan Tannehill

    AFCN:  Browns/Mayfield;  Bengals/Burrow;  Ravens/Jackson

    AFCW:  Chiefs/Mahomes;   Chargers/Herbert;   RAiders/Carr??

    NFCE: only Giants/Jones

    NFCS: Only Tampa Bay/Brady

    NFCN:  Only Vikings/Cousins

    NFCW:  Seattle/Wilson;   Arizona/Murray

  • Zombo said:

    I can tell you with 100 percent certainty who will be quarterbacking the Packers and Cowboys.

    Z

    I don't know that I can say 100%....but certainly the Packers would be foolish to trade Rodgers.  Its just that he himself is the one making noises.

    Also, consider this on Prescott and the Cowboys.  He WILL be a free agent as of the beginning of the FA season....unless the Cowboys either reach an agreement with him....or they Franchise Tag him at the apparent cost of  37 million dollars for the 2021 season.  I think it is that price tag for him that has been the stumbling block so far in getting him signed.  Dallas may not want to do that.  They have seemed reluctant to do so so far.   And looking on both sides of that coin:  with so many QB openings, Dak may decide he would want to test that market; and Dallas may want to explore alternatives.  

    So, I do think you are on more solid ground with GB than with Dallas.

    I totally get the Colts would love to have him with Rivers retiring, but I can't see Houston being willing to trade him within the division.

    I'll agree with Zombo on this 100%. Barring a great disturbance in the Force, Rodgers and Prescott will be the starting QBs on their respective teams.

    Except Rogers wasn't selected 4, he dropped a lot and the value was too great to pass up, they got lucky. I guess it depends on how much you think Ryan has left, it you think he has 4 or more years left I pass on a QB and improve the team. The Falcons played better the 2nd half of the season so they may had a quick rebound in order. If they could have one fall to the them in round 2 that would be a different calculus.

    That makes a ton of sense. Depends on how much the Lions would want. 

    More dum-dum emanating from Houston. What it Watson decides to give them the finger and hold out?  https://www.nfl.com/news/texans-gm-nick-caserio-zero-interest-in-trading-deshaun-watson

    Agree for the most part, but I have never thought of Stafford as "that guy". The QB that can close the deal.

    Always thought he was in that Fool's Gold category.

    Have I ever mentioned that you always have to be looking for your next QB?

    Seems like I might have, but just not sure... 😉

    Agree on Rodgers... not so sure about Dak.

    Besides some bad feelings DAL has significant cap constraints.

  • Redskins.....errrr  WTFs  may still have their QB for next year  on their roster in Alex Smith....but they still have to make contingency plans to find his replacement, in light of the Haskell failure:
