Thread: Watson or Rodgers

Talking heads have always said that once the lawyers get quiet, something is about to go down. They haven't been in the media in weeks. Feeling is settlements are on the horizon.

Gimme Rodgers. We have cap space now and can afford him. Paying Watson for a decade hurts the chances of sustaining a team around him.

But it's also a problem I wouldn't be upset about having.

I mean last season, even with Drew Lock not playing as well as hoped, was awful with injuries. If we get Rodgers, wouldn’t it suck to have the same bad luck with injuries again this year and barely squeak into the playoffs to get bounced by a healthy squad? Then Rodgers says, “screw this, thanks for the twilight season” and rolls out after giving up 3 1sts and a top player?

At least with Watson, you know that you will have him (at least in availability) for a decade or more. I know I wouldn’t want to have to make the decision on this. My heart says Rodgers is the better pick, my gut says Watson.

This isn't unfair. But, injury filled seasons can happen any time. Rodgers also has a track record of being a consistently dominant QB. He's done with with flawed rosters (read GB refusing to ever give a damn about the offense) bad coaching (loser HC is now in Dallas), bad lines (when he replaced Favre the line wasn't great and it also had injuries) and Denver has some depth. There's depth at WR. There's depth at guard. There's some depth, some, at TE. The secondary has depth. The team isn't desperate at DLine/LB, either. And if one group gets injured more than others the rest of the team can pick up the slack. You know that Rodgers will.

It's conjecture, but GB seems to have killed his love for the game. He clearly wants to keep playing, though. So what happens when that love for the game is sparked, the OC knows his role and lets Rodgers do Rodger things, etc.?

Watson is great. But he'll never has the type of season that Rodgers just had.

If Denver got Rodgers the question wouldn't be if they could win a SB in two years. The question would be that when they do, is it an all-time team? Because Rodgers on Denver is way better than anything KC or Tampa can offer. Denver has more weapons on offense and a better defense. Tampa has a declining QB who won a SB based on KC's injuries...

It would be within the realm of possibility that Denver goes undefeated and wins a SB. That's on the table.

This is it. But I’ll take Rodgers until we know the result of Watson’s legal issues.

unless he rapes someone, and gets thrown in jail. . .




also, any player can suffer a bad injury at any time-- or leave over a contract dispute, etc. . . the odds of having watson much longer are certainly much higher, but absolutely nothing in life is guaranteed. . .

Watson is a POS regardless of whether or not he gets an opportunity to play in the NFL again, so I'd choose Rodgers.

No way he plays 5 more years though. 3 max, closer to 2 IMO.

Watson is younger and has many more years. He is not as good imo, but does have the running element. He will cost more.

Rodgers is older but will still play for at least 5 years most likely. He will cost less but be around less. He is the better QB imo.




If both are available for trade, lets say, June 1st. Which QB would you prefer us to go after and why?

I’m honestly done talking about other teams quarterbacks, this talk has been going on and on for months and literally nothing has happened other than bringing in bridgewater to be locks back up. Lock is our quarterback and it is what it is!

In Fantasy land it would be nice to have Rodgers but I’m way past Watson and his bullshit. Now he wants to settle after saying he wouldn’t because he’s oh so innocent and now that evidence has came out and so many women came out he’s considering settling? Watson is a good player but he preys on women in there work field which is flawed.

Agreed Watson has the type of character flaw o just can’t get past..... like seriously the amount of women he went after was the alarming part for me. You shoot your shot once or twice at a couple women at there jobs on some weird shit then okay.... not good but whatever but when your hounding damn near every women you encounter to suck and massage your meat on there jobs something is wrong with you man!

There are circles where his request are okay but he gave no ****s and went after everyone!

There

I couldn’t care less if my QB has tried to get a happy ending from every masseuse in Texas.

I don’t care if he’s a creep.

I don’t care if he tried to get his GM fired.

I don’t care if he needs therapy.

I don’t care if he shoots himself in the ass.

I don’t care if he’s on the sideline making faces that I don’t like.

I don’t care if he has “it“.

I don’t care about his stats.

I don’t care about his PFF grade.

I don’t care if he finds the camera before he genuflects.

I don’t care if he flips off the fans in the crowd.

I don’t care if he’s 37.

I don’t care if he’s arrogant.

I don’t care if he’s cocky.

I don’t care if he makes fans proud.
