CS85 10,824 Posted February 8 Welp, Brady won a title, whoopee-doo. Draft's not for a couple months. QBs on the move everywhere. Stafford to the Rams, Goff to the Lions, and chances are Wentz will be a Bear, Watson, Darnold, Gardner Minshew, Cam Newton, Fitzmagic, and who the hell else will be shotgunned across the league in a bizarro-world 2021 season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like bad ownership in the NFL is regularly ignored, if not outright tolerated. edit: I know it's really, really bad, but still. I don't see the league intervening at all. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBTV 21,032 Posted February 12 But isn’t O’Brien responsible for some of those? Getting rid of him should be viewed as a positive, and remove some of those from that list. At least one. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Send the Titans back to Houston (as the Oilers) and the Texans to Nashville (as the Hound Dogs, because that name is perfect for this lolcow franchise). No team should've moved after the merger, except the Raiders to LA and the Cardinals to Arizona. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FiddySicks 11,371 Posted February 12 Screw Nashville. Move em to Memphis. They need to build some character, anyway. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBGKon 2,683 Posted February 12 Texans are on fire right now, and not in the good way. Also, I'll be the first to say it here......Watt to Tampa? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No cap room, and who will they take playing time from? I know they have to resign a bunch of the front 7 but to think most of them won’t be back is crazy. He want to play with his brothers in Pittsburg 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know they have to resign a bunch of the front 7 but to think most of them won’t be back is crazy. He want to play with his brothers in Pittsburg They do have quite a few guys to resign, but they also have something like $50 million in cap space, so technically it could be doable. They would probably have to let Godwin walk, which I don’t like, but I do understand. I’m not really sure why they would want to, though. They could resign Shaq Barrett for probably less money, and he’s a better fit for that system. I also think he’s trending in a better direction than Watt, too. I mean, OF COURSE Watt would be a fantastic addition to any defense, but for the cost and with his injury history, they may be better off just trying to keep their core intact. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IceCap 22,606 Posted February 13 10 hours ago, dont care said: Exactly, and I don’t see him taking a discount unless it’s to be with his brothers There's no discount in the world that's going to make that work given Pittsburgh's cap situation. 17 hours ago, BBTV said: But isn’t O’Brien responsible for some of those? Getting rid of him should be viewed as a positive, and remove some of those from that list. At least one. So apparently BOB was just a symptom of the disease, not the cause. Jack Easterby's been slowly strangling this team for a few years now, and it's only recently become obvious. On one hand it's fascinating to watch one man with no qualifications bend a multi-billion dollar organization to his will...on the other hand he's pretty much destroyed what was once a consistent playoff contender. Honestly? As much as it would with my preferences for how team history is handled? @FiddySicks and @rams80 are right. The NFL needs to Ctl-Z the whole Texans franchise. Bring back the Oilers, banish Easterby to the Megachurch circuit, and we can all move on. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
