Uncle Buck Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Someone is going to put together a "Herschel-esque" package of picks and players and overpay for Watson. Who will it be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Didn't watch just sign a contract extension last off-season. What happened between now and then? Is it just the losing season or the terrible front office (or both)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if it's the front office stuff then that seems weird because everyone knew they had a horrible FO before he signed. He has years left on his deal and he's a great young QB. Why would they even trade him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it. 47 minutes ago, showtime said: Is it just the losing season or the terrible front office (or both)? I think both, but the heavier weight is that FO - past and present players have gone out of their way to lambast Jack Easterby and Cal McNair. Cal is simply incompetent, Easterby has his agenda and will crush everything to get it into place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it got significantly worse once Jack Easterby took full control following the Bill O'Brien firing. https://www.stampedeblue.com/2021/1/28/22254545/senior-bowl-diary-day-3-texans-executive-jack-easterby-is-unhinged This came out today. This is... Fun. Here are two more nuggets: https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/12/10/ex-chaplain-jack-easterby-houston-texans-chaos-after-power-struggle-daily-cover This was the follow-up: https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/01/16/texans-chaos-deshaun-watson-unhappy-how-jack-easterby-kept-his-job You'll see a megalomaniac who hides behind "culture" to demand compliance to his own vision of what he wants a team to look like - obedient to his will, no questions of his direction, no accountability to his actions. There's a lot of weird behavior in here - nothing you'd expect in a professional football franchise. Maybe a megachurch or a cult, but not a football team. This all happened two seasons ago but then it ramped up SIGNIFICANTLY once BoB was fired. Ironically enough, BoB was keeping this crazy animal in check. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Bears gave up a couple firsts for Mack. They should give up even more for Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that everyone is going to default to blaming the Texans, but Watson is also being a whiny toddler throwing a temper tantrum. The dude, allegedly, has refused to even talk to the team since the season ended. 8 minutes ago, ET80 said: You'll see a megalomaniac who hides behind "culture" to demand compliance to his own vision of what he wants a team to look like - obedient to his will, no questions of his direction, no accountability to his actions.

You seem to really hate this cat based on his belief system. Im not defending him, he seems incompetent at his job, but man - a lot of this stuff is not founded in his religion. Does he ever speak to the public? Or is he behind the scenes? How does he come across in pressers? 8 minutes ago, ET80 said: This all happened two seasons ago but then it ramped up SIGNIFICANTLY once BoB was fired.

(I'm saying this as a Christian - I've seen people weaponize faith, monetize faith, contort their faith to feed their agenda. That is what's happening here. You can Google it if you like, but I'm done trying to head down this path). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he is a mix bag between people who think he is a snake oil salesman and those who genuinely like the guy. But rapidly the number of people who think he is insane seems to be growing.

I’ll do that tbh but then the tables will turn. Aaron Donald for Watson and then trade Goff to a QB needy team like the Eagles or something like that.
