SkippyX Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This is a smart person who loves the Texans. Its another perspective on just how bad the culture is on this team: https://www.chron.com/sports/texans/article/Stephanie-Stradley-Texans-GM-Nick-Caserio-15856797.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been behind the likes of the national pundits in breaking Texans news. Now - I know McClain was very vocal on the termination of Any Palcic, going on the record to say he hated the decision, and went so far as to openly speculate WHY Palcic was fired (comments on the past election). I can't see Easterby giving someone like that any sort of access. Notice how he hasn't broken a single signing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnobili Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 feels the same with a lot of the raiders reporters. Vic Tafur sometimes gets some inside word, but he clearly had a much closer connection with the JDR regime than Gruden's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you either have to trade Tua before you make the deal with the Texans or you include Tua and let Houston make that decision (I'm higher on Tua, any deal including him would probably hold my interest briefly). Can deal Tua away after, no? Obviously by that point you're a motivated seller so that brings his price down somewhat, but still can recoup some of that package back I would think.

Once you have 2 assets and 1 spot it craters the return, unless the guy is seen as elite. Tua should get more patience given where he was at in his rehab from the hip injury (not even close to 100 percent athleticism nor would he be expected to be timing wise). But his struggles definitely dropped his stock to other teams. Can’t leverage that into less value by dealing for Watson without expecting a massive drop in value.

Eagles managed to unload Nick Foles ! But I'm curious to see Tua develop too, and think Miami should absolutely be inquiring down this avenue (even if they ultimately decide not to do anything) Edit: and the Cards managed to deal Rosen too. Not impossible is all I'm saying. If crater'd value is a 2nd (and maybe more) that's not that bad at all. Edited March 15, 2021 by Fray32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are far more willing to deal day 3 picks given the hit rate and perceived throwaway value (even if it’s a bad move).

SaveOurSonics Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Is it too much to ask for a trade that sends DangeRuss to Chicago, Watson to Seattle, and a treasure chest of assets to Houston? *logs off Madden* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 28 minutes ago, Broncofan said: Point taken I think- given how things have played out recently - Jamey Rootes was his inside source. Both Rootes and McClain were "day one" guys for the Texans, both are highly respected and connected, and knew how to leverage each other to get their respective agendas knocked out. The last story that Pancakes broke was Caserio - which sort of aligns with when Rootes first tendered his resignation. It makes sense that Rootes would really have nothing to share now, too. It also makes it understandable why McClain has been so hostile and/or detached at times. His guy was bounced, so he's going to take a few snarky jabs. Pancakes is unhinged, he's using his platform to make subtle jabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get two motivated buyers competing against each other and the seller's level of motivation isn't really all that big of a concern any more. Even if they bring Watson on board, if there are two teams who are still left without a QB when the game of musical chairs stops playing, the Dolphins should do OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
