And watson never came close to throwing 4 picks in a playoff game. Why is our specific game and our specific scenario any worse than that?
How is throwing 4 picks and losing a fumble in a playoff game better than what Watson did in our game? It's so weird that you can dismiss a 5 turnover game as just a "bad game" but somehow Watson and the Texans blowing a 24 point lead is such an indictment on him. [Reply]

Again, it was more about BOB than Watson in that game.. [Reply]
I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I think it's possible that Meyer trades both Jax #1's to Houston for Watson.
Think about it; you may only get one shot at head coach in the NFL. Yeah, Lawrence looks like the real thing, but honestly, it's still 50/50 he becomes an elite QB. Wouldn't you rather take a sure thing?
And Houston gets to draft Lawrence, best case scenario for them to start over, plus they get another #1 to re-stock.
I'm just saying, I think that's a real possibility. [Reply]

Supposedly, two firsts is just a starting point... they also want two seconds and two young defensive starters
Watson probably shouldn't put his Houston pad up for sale just yet. I'd guess the Stafford-Goff trade just torpedoed any chance he had of getting traded considering what the Rams gave up for a 33 year old QB. Maybe Miami gives up Tua and their 1's for him, but I just wouldn't think so. [Reply]
but two 2020 firsts, and the rights to Lawrence, the only real blue chip QB prospect?
There are only a few teams with two #1's to give, and that first overall would be tough to pass up when you're clearly in a total rebuild wouldn't it? [Reply]

Well that situation is unique. Goff's contract was awful, so they had to throw in extra picks as compensation just to unload that contract onto the Lions. I still think Watson is worth multiple 1st round picks. [Reply]
I think the Goff thing probably hurt Watson's chances of getting traded. Nobody is going to give up 4 first round picks. The Lions are getting paid to eat Goff's terrible contract, but still. It raised the asking price so high there are few teams that can offer significantly more than the Rams splurged on Goff, a 30+ never-was
You can't take a team like the Jets where the cupboard is bare and put Watson in the middle of a 2 win team with little draft capital in the coming years. That's not a recipe for success and he and his agent ought to push for someplace else. [Reply]
