TheVillain112 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Just read the si article (https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/03/20/leveon-bell-steelers-jets-free-agency-contract) on Le'Veon Bell, and I understand his viewpoint better now. Ultimately, I can respect that he didn't want to just take the money and be unhappy in Pittsburgh. It wasn't the best financial decision, but instead of just signing the contract like AB and OBJ did, he decided to move on from the Steelers. I still don't agree with the back and fourth he did during the process, but I kind of get it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a guy makes decisions that benefit his own happiness over his wallet, but signs with the Jets...? Like, has anyone ever been happy to be a Jet? Hell, they could win next year’s Super Bowl and the players would still consider it the worst year of their life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Big Ben has former teammates go after him left and right and you don't hear any of that with Brees, Rivers and Brady. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Thomas, Khalil Mack, Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Taylor Lewan, Von Miller (since Peyton retired). How have those individual players impacted the W-L column? You must not have watched Khalil Mack in several games this past season. In my life as a football fan I’ve never seen anything like it. He single handedly impacted the W/L column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I could see them shopping him if they knew something that no one else knew (would be shady) but not because of money. Probably the greatest weapon that you could give Mahomes, no way they would want to remove it unless they were left with no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears have other very good players on that defense. I don’t care what position you play, a single player does not have any notable impact on the W/L column.

ET80 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So Justin Houston is gonna get Julie'n Davenport and Seantrell Henderson 2x a season. Deshaun Watson isn't going to make it, he's gonna get murdered next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Watt, circa 2012 - 2015 absolutely won games for Houston single-handedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Watson is good. I'm seriously praying for Donald Penn as a one year bridge LT, with a guy like Yodny Cajuste or Greg Little as the prospect in waiting. Either that, or the light bulb goes on for Davenport and he suddenly develops into a top 3 OT. Physically, he's got every single gift a LT needs, but he's simply dumb and soft. I really hope we don't squander Watson's career. If we do, I might seriously reconsider whether or not this team is worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking up stats for QBs who have been sacked the most in a season. Texans QBs have 3 seasons in the top 5 all time and you haven’t even been around for 2 decades yet.
