WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021

I have lived in Houston before Watson was drafted, I have had a chance to see Watson play more than most on this site.
I have seen him play in person at NRG stadium and on TV. I have met him and he is a very nice guy, a good guy and a great teamate. Not a headcase
Watson is a very talented QB, but he is not an instant plug and play superstar. He has some work to do in his game. He is not a Mahomes or Aaron Roger that is ready to be tops in the NFL. Watson holds on to the ball to long. He improvises too much and needs to be more disciplined. To be fair, with some good coaching and work to break him of his bad habits, he is not far from being great. But IMO he is not there yet.
I would not sell the farm to get a Qb that has holes in his game.

Sorry, just a general nitpick here. But some of you guys do realize that the Sunday Ticket and RedZone channel have been around for years now right? Living in a certain area doesn't really carry the weight that it used to for being an expert on the home team LOL. Sorry, rant over on that. No disrespect intended.

What makes Watson so enticing is that he's a top talent who's only getting better, and he's only 25. Guys like that just don't become available very often. That's why the price is going to be high. Personally I think the way he's forcing his way out is a bit of a red flag that shouldn't be brushed aside.

I look at it as karma for the long-suffering WFT - Skins fan. We watched as KC and TW both bullied their way out, so if we get a top guy that way, hey - we've paid our dues.

Not to mention the Film access now a days lol

I think the Jets will ultimately land him, they have the most ammo and Darnold who is still young. I'd offer the next 2 first and Sweat for him today tho

Watson has a say on where he goes. He is not going to a rebuilding team like the Jets, where he has to compete with Josh Allen and the Bills for a playoff spot.

Unlike TW and KC, Watson has legit grievances against his team. Houston is super dysfunctional, and we of all fan bases should know dysfunction when we see it. I don't blame him for wanting out of Houston.

Chase young is going to be a reason we land some free agents ... also Ron is a huge plus .. think many would want to come here with past situations.. I’m on fence about Watson .. he great but talk of 2-3 first round and a top player ... man that’s a lot ! Stafford for this years number one makes more sense to me ...

If he's smart he would steer clear of Washington then. Yes with Ron we're not the hot mess we were before he got here, but that can change very quickly.

LOL, I'm laughing at your intro. Yeah, this isn't like it's the 70's, 80's, or early 90's. The advent and growth of the internet, social media, sports being shoved down our throats 24 hours a day/7 days a week, and, of course, NFL Sunday Ticket and Red Zone has eliminated being from a specific area carrying weight to people from that specific area or region being more knowledgeable of a particular team. It's only relevant if a person doesn't focus on any teams other than their own or something similar.

I told a friend a few days ago that I'm now leery of Watson due to his "tail wagging the dog" scenario. I'm not sure I wanna go that route. I also don't wanna give up the farm to get him.

I somewhat agree with 'Defensewins,' re: Watson has a tendency to hold onto the ball too long. He's a heckuva talent, but the propensity to hold onto the ball increases his chances for unnecessary sacks and hits. It's slightly nitpicking as his pros certainly outweighs his cons, but it's still something to keep an eye on.

If we come away from this off-season with a known top talent qb who, *cringing in fear* barring injury , leads this team for the next 5 -7 years then this will have been a successful off-season. If we don't, then no matter how many picks we avoided giving up, it will be a wasted off-season.

No matter what the cost, in draft or salary cap this year, having a qb that has the talent and wins games, is worth it. Sure I want the FO to be smart, if the asking price is 2 1st rounders, don't offer 4.
