I think the front office has probably already shown that they don’t actually care that much about character, but this guy was fringe roster body so the move here was inevitable. This question is not just for you, Nate. Can anyone think of an NFL team that does seem to care about character? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hate having Watson as the face of the franchise, the fact of the matter is like 14 other teams called and 5 made formal offers that were agreeable to the Texans. That’s like, every team in the league who wasn’t set at QB. For all the talk about character and whatnot that EVERY team does, none of them actually mean it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 If you applied this principle to the “Good/great” instead of “hot” and “distraction/trouble” instead of “crazy”, that’s the rough metric most NFL Teams use. UDFA? Pack your bags. Myles? Issue a public statement and have him “vow to be better” and then “come alongside him” since he now realizes he “has a problem”. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, which is sad. Premiere athletes are a special class. If I demonstrated the behavior of some of these guys, I would never get another job. These guys wouldn’t make it in the real world.

If you have a skill/talent/ability to make rich and powerful people money or help them be successful, you’ll get nearly unlimited chances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because something is mainstream doesn’t make it something that we should all go along with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence Taylor didn't have great character - he was great so they looked the other way. Rooneys? Big Ben Roofiesbuggerer was Watson before Watson, but he won them super bowls, so they looked the other way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly aren't above signing bad dudes. Owners make business decisions. They won't sign a guy that will cost them profit. That doesn't make them honorable because they will sign a bad dude if he is good enough that their fan base will forgive him. It's more fan bases that determine who the owner will sign. I don't think we've lost ticket sales by signing a predator to be our QB so we will be open to anything going forward Imagine. Assuming they think it makes us better.
