The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
That’s irrelevant, words are bullshit unless it’s in a contract you can piss off with how you feel smh. That’s life and that’s the world. If it means that much to you and it’s something real but it’s not in a contract then your wasting your time and that’s just reality.
Sorry Watson
I think Jeudy10 is finally starting to warm up to Watson. Our work here is done fellas.

Is Russell Wilson irreplaceable? Is Tom Brady? Every year, colleges produce at least 50 quarterbacks who turn pro and hope to be drafted. If Wilson or Brady's skillsets were that obvious, why did teams wait until the later rounds to draft them?
I get what you're saying. Not many can do what they do and yet they are treated like commodities just like everyone else. The difference being they're in the public eye and make a lot of money. Their window for top production (other than Brady) is short and they want to be in a position to maximize their profitability. But they are still commodities just like an auto plant employee or a greeter at Wal-Mart. Ultimately, they are replaceable or we wouldn't be spending 16 pages of jabber debating whether they should be traded.

We've been trying to replace Elway for over two decades now. Other than 4 years of Manning, we still haven't found a long term guy. Yes any player might be "replaceable", but it could also take decades to do it. If any of you threw a fit at work you'd be replaced in 2 weeks and the world would keep spinning. It's just laughable to try to equate this with a normal job. It simply isn't. When you're in the elite of the elite as a pro athlete, you get to operate under different rules. You just do.
I’m glad you think a pro athlete is the only place where people with elite abilities matter. Smh there’s tons of jobs with skills that are simply not easily replaceable.
I've lived in Texas most of my life and have watched many of Watson's games. He reminds me of Warren Moon with better wheels. Moon had a Hall of Fame career but he never sniffed a conference championship game even with one of the best offensive lines ever assembled in front of him and an amazing wealth of talented receivers. Moon (and most of the Oilers) just had that knack for the critical ****-up. Watch the second playoff loss in Denver and you could tell Elway was winning that game while the Oilers were trying not to choke. Watson will make highlight-reel plays but then throw the critical pick or make the critical fumble or one of his teammates will and lose the game. It seems every game last year except Pittsburgh they fell behind by two touchdowns, would get close then screw themselves and lose (and they screwed up against Pittsburgh too).
I don't buy in about mortgaging all it would take to acquire Watson and then think you're going back to the Super Bowl. You might go back to the playoffs and lose the first or second round. We'd be smarter to drag Phillip Rivers out of retirement and hold onto the draft picks if that's enough for your satisfaction.

It wasn't Watson that s remedies up hoof.
they lost 9 games by 7 points or less
You know what Watson numbers were last year. Elite! And they lost that many games by 7 or less. So it wasn't Watson.

Watson has never even had a passable o-line and they traded the only great WR he ever had. In what way is that similar to Moon in what you described him having stacked o-lines and weapons? Your post makes no sense.
Football is a team game. Takes a lot more factors than just the QB to go deep in the playoffs. If you're telling me Watson has HoF talent you do whatever it takes to get him and figure out the rest later. Having a QB with that talent gives you a shot every single year, which is all you can ask for.
