candyman93 Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 This won’t be popular, but if Watson continues to struggle- He needs to be treated the way the Eagles treated Carson Wentz when they had Jalen Hurts. You play Watson until DTR is ready. Then you try to dump Watsons deal + high draft picks off to a team with cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to see Goodwin run more than just deep posts all game long. Use him underneath more often for quicker routes. I assume with his speed he can separate faster than DPJ can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we can reasonably move him for like 2-3 years though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be out there a lot just for that reason alone. I think we're running too many condensed sets. We should split guys out more to open up run lanes and decongest the reads that Deshaun needs to make. Nothing we're running looks anything like what the Texans were doing when he was at his peak.

I'd move him today if we could. Nobody is going to be willing to take on that albatros of a contract for a dude who has been struggling mightily AND would bring negative PR with him. We are also delusional to think that DTR will be good. He flashed in the preseason against vanilla looks. I love his potential and his fit within our offense, but he's not ready to be the answer. And probably never will be, as much as I do like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 There’s a reason I made a comp to the eagles situation with Hurts and Wentz. You’ll have to wait to move Watson (Wentz) and wait until DTR (Hurts) is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 If he continues to struggle and play bad like he has then that would only make it even less likely that there is a team out there willing to take on his ridiculous guaranteed contract. I just don’t see this as a possibility for many reasons. For starters, we traded three first round picks for him. So in the very slim chance somebody wants to take on that trouble both on and off the field, trading Watson for pennies on the dollar compared to what we gave up would be guaranteeing the end of Andrew Barry. Which would make no sense because he would be the one making the deal. You are stuck with the dude for as long as AB is here. You are stuck with him three more seasons after this one honestly based on the contract, unless he improves enough that somebody would want him. Which in that case, would negate us really desiring to trade him. We made a **** sandwich last year and now we are forced to eat it slowly.

Kiwibrown Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Who would trade for him? He is unpopular, expensive and bad. We can't trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkronsWitness Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Watson is not going anywhere. We really need to stop entertaining that idea as a potential option. Hes not getting benched, hes not getting traded. If momentum during the season doesnt start to shift--worst case Stefanski is going to be the scapegoat at the end of the season and he will be axed in favor of some other random up and coming OC probably from the Eagles nobody has ever heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
