HawkeyeJet Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It’s really interesting and telling how frequent the conversation has become about teams potentially moving on from QBs after 2 years. 10 years ago that was practically unheard of. The rookie cap is a big part, but interesting nonetheless 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If I had to guess this probably has more with the difficulties surrounding Watson than them being enamored with Tua. If Watson is able to play again after whatever paltry action NFL takes against him it's going top be a a huge issue with optics. Teams gonna take a lot of lumps for bringing him in. Only place I see him going is WFT, people already know they are trash and it'll be like,"Hmmm Figures!" Peferct place for him. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps his sources are wrong, but this is more meaningful than a generic public statement from the dolphins on Tua. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're going to get him, but I can't believe they've simply given up the chase. You're making it seem like if Ian Rappaport hears something it has to be true...Cause rumblings inside an NFL organization from unnamed sources are always true. You don't pursue a guy like Watson as aggressively as they did and just give up on it for a limited talent like Tua. If they loved Tua they wouldn't have bothered in the first place. They might be saying the right thing because they're fearful they're not going to get him - maybe there are rumors about where he's going with Flores or whatever.. But I don't believe they've simply given up on Watson - and I surely don't believe because an unnamed source told a reporter that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is there are not that many teams interested in dealing with the PR headache associated with Watson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all makes sense - the team needs to make nice with Tua, put the blame on Flores - but I just don't see them giving up that easily. I don't think they'll end up with him - I just don't think they've given up on the idea - that's all I'm saying. Yes, the PR backlash can be bad. I, honestly, wouldn't want the Jets to get him. Would be tough to root for the guy. With that said, the NFL and ESPN have made it pretty clear they're going to put their full weight in support of Watson.

Hex Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don't see any reason why they would not stick with Tua. If the Browns are keeping Baker, Tua will probably stay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't believe they've simply given up on Watson - and I surely don't believe because an unnamed source told a reporter that. The only coach Watson waived his no trade clause was Brian Flores, I'd be completely floored if Watson would want to go there now that they fired him. Not to mention he has been in constant contact with Flores and is trying to follow him. Here's how it went: Flores: I want Herbert Phins: We like Tua Flores: Fine but if he sucks I want my own QB *Tua Sucks* Flores: Okay, Watson is on board - let's get our QB Phins: okay let's go trade for them and try to get Watson to settle his suite. *Watson doesn't settle and Miami's messages got leaked to the masses creating major backlash* Flores: I still want Watson Phins: We can't make that trade Phins caught a ton of heat and had to move on from a good coach because they stubbornly took Tua when Flores wanted Herbert. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
