It gets weirder. Also, something in this paragraph seems amiss...
"While he was at USC, former Gamecock kicker Ryan Succop invited Easterby to speak to the Kansas City Chiefs, where Succop was playing at the time. Easterby made such an impression on coach Andy Reid and general manager Scott Pioli, who is now back with the Patriots, that they hired him to be the team’s chaplain in 2011." [Reply]
Wouldn’t be shocked if this “character coach” didn’t see the signs of instability with Belcher and is partly responsible for the incident because of some fucked up thing he said to Belcher that he thought would be beneficial.
No, I don’t think he told Belcher to murder Perkins and himself, but I could see something innocuous like, “People depend on you and you’re failing them right now” or some shit like that getting stuck in the craw of an unstable man’s brain and causing him to go off the deep end [Reply]
There is a growing sense from people in and around the Texans’ organization that Deshaun Watson has played his last snap for the team. It’s early in the off-season, there’s a lot of time left, but Watson’s feelings cannot and should not be underestimated.

A team run by professionals would turn those 4 picks into serious draft picks, but this is the Texans. For them, one in the hand is worth 10 in the bush. If they were smart, and they're not, they would do whatever it takes to rectify the situation with Watson and move forward from there. Since they're stupid, they'll lose Watson and won't see any benefit that compares to the loss. [Reply]
If you are a team with even moderate talent, you have to try to get this guy. Teams like SF, DEN, MIA and WFT have to be in on this (leaving out IND bc they are in the same division).
Honestly if Patrick Mahomes never existed and we were still with Alex, I’d absolutely be down with trading 2 first rd picks, a flurry of 3rd Rd picks and even throw a player in there. I’d offer all I could.
It sure beats the alternative of never finding a QB unless you’re at the very top of the draft. History proves this.

Stafford, Mahomes, Watson, Murray, Luck and Allen. 6 guys you can truly win a SB with available since 2009 and 4 of them were taken in the top 7 picks bc the Bears ****ed up royally in 2017.
Picks don’t matter as much as people say if you don’t have a QB. We’ve been there for decades.
So yeah I’d give up a shit load of high draft picks if I was a team that needed a QB. [Reply]
