    all of our players since the 1964 championship team have been complete failures.

    Which of course, is not true.  Else we have a complete failure currently being enshrined in the HOF.

    My reply said I don't disagree.

    My point is if we are going to hold individual players as complete failures as Nickers suggests, in this case Watson, then we need to do that with everybody.  Not just single out one player we may not like.  I like all the players I previously mentioned, but if winning the Superbowl is the standard of measure, none measure up and were complete failures.

    Hopefully that makes it clear.

    To make it clearer, I don't think you can hold any one individual accountable for a Superbowl win.  Teams are who win a Superbowl.  Same with losing.  You win as a team, you lose as a team.  End of story.

    Hopefully that makes it clear.

    For what we gave up to get him... And the money were paying him... No excuses... I'm tired of if comes and but what ifs and all the other BS... We gave this asshole a kings ransom.. I expect a Kings ransom worth of results... You can't cheat your way to a championship... I'm not saying Watson has to do it all by himself.. Yes I know its a team fucking game... If he proves me wrong.. Great then we all win... Until that happens.. Or not... It's all talk to me... Yeah.. I make no bones about it.. I don't like Haslam.. And I don't like Watson.. But as my father always said... Assholes will eventually find each other...

    LOL....I have always said that assholes always release a lot of gas....

    As for what we are paying...just look around the league.  Watson is maybe the 6th highest paid QB.  As for the guarantee, all those contracts are guaranteed. Teams don't release those QB's.  All of them play out the full term.  Even if they get hurt the team stick with them for a few years.  I think you are getting fluffed up over a word and not looking at the reality of the matter.

    As for not liking him or Haslam, I can respect that.

    haha...well, when someone doesn't seem to understand, I feel the need to clarify.  If you don't need the clarification, just move on.  That is what I do.  It saves time.

    Truth.  Perhaps we were the first team to put the guarantee in writing because we have Trigguh-Finguh-Jimmuh.  (although he does that only to HC's & GM's)

    ....and don't ever call Bernie a Clod again.  🙂   Big Bird, ok.  Clod, no.

    Imagine if he was fleet afoot.  I mean, he had everything else you need.  He was tall, smart (never fooled by a defense), a strong enough arm, accurate enough...and a real 'team' guy.  He'd do anything for his team mates.  He'd be in the HOF.
