NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Or if he didn't have an injury that can take up to 6 weeks to heal.....and you didn't have an anti watson agenda. Weather could not have been much better the last game and he sat, but sure.

Do you trust Watson?

Not saying he is faking it or not bc the doctors, players, coaches know better but Watson at this point cannot be trusted. That is a fact.

We don’t know the severity. We really have no clue bc Stefanski is pushing it on Watson bc he feels he can play (from his comments). Then Watson says weeks ago it isn’t a bad injury (talking to the media). Now he sits out two weeks and it seems to be more serious then he said. Now he won’t talk to the media.
Sounds weird huh?

Unless Burrow can get his shit together the division looks very winnable.

Even if Burrow doesn't get his shit together my team ain't winning the division.

It's going to be tough to get to 10 wins....

I don't think my team could get 10 wins on a video game system this season.

If we were to liken this to the NBA...this would be like (2016 Cavs reference) Kyrie going down to injury....he's done. Lebron goes out of his mind and wins game 1 (Titans game). Team is all fired up after a deflating injury (Chubb). Then all the sudden before tip off rumors come out Lebron is injured. Nothing about this prior. Then he goes out and warms up and decides he's just not gonna go.

Team gets destroyed completely reversing all the good vibes from game 1. So we need Lebron for game 3. Considering he damn near played in game 2 it's logical to assume he'd play game 3 no?

But instead of addressing it between games or even talking to the media Lebron goes into hiding and starts working out by himself. But even still NO ONE thinks he could possibly miss game 3 right?

wrong. Lebron also misses game 3 and totally avoids any accountability or discussion around it.


Lebron would be getting DESTROYED in the media.

I want our team to win football games. That is my agenda. please stop putting words into my mouth. Don't do this routine on me.

No you don't...you want to cry about watson. I mean, if I'm not mistaken you have even cried that he hasn't spoken yet. How does that help us win games?

 

[dtgold88]

It's his shtick.

He does it with about 5-6 people on here and sometimes he can go on for days....must be the Viagra/Cialis....his endurance with it is incredible.

oh, the irony.

 

[dtgold88]

Well that is besides the point. The facts are.

Watson isnmt handling this the right way.
Stefanski himself is trying to get himself fired. He isn’t handling the situation the right way either.

#shitshow
#idontfuckingcare

No...the facts are a QB hurt his shoulder that happens to be attached to the arm he throws with so he is not playing. It's happened before to others. The rest is drams that for some reason even football fans cannot live without.

Nope....sounds like you are among the many fans who want drama. I mean, you are pretty much making things up to enhance your drama fix. OK, stefanski should have said we all decided he shouldn't go and watson should not have sounded so sure he'd play (likely because he had often overcome other injuries to play). Not sure how that helps us win though which is really all that matters.

QB hurt shoulder, QB cannot throw, so QB doesn't play. That's it.

wow....thanks for continuing to prove my point.

do you really need Watson to address this to make you feel better?

OK, allow me to tell you what he would say........

Watson - "So yeah my arm hurts and I can’t really get much velocity on the ball or throw it very far. I wanted to play and was hopeful but it was worse than I thought. I’m trying to let it heal."

reporter - "Do you know when it’ll be better?"

watson - "No"

There. That better for you? feel better now? When did football fans turn into a bunch of drama queens? Oh, no.... Kevin said this and this guy tweeted this and the reporter said he heard that.... did you hear what he said from an anonymous source and what is wrong?!?!!! This guy hasn’t said a word in days!!!

Go watch soap operas, people.

I think wanting the QB of your team to be a leader and be accountable is aligned with a desire to win. It’s rare to see a team win without those components in a QB. Talking to the media on why he’s not playing is consistent with being an accountable leader.

Thank you!

His addressing the media would eliminate the drama

Him allowing it to hang over the team is not a sign of a good leader.

saying "my arm hurts and I didn't heal as fast as hoped" makes him a leader? We already know why he's not playing.

I mean, as a fan it sucks as we looked really good the last game he played. But noting being as good without him is what sucks.

It's not hanging over the team. They get it. He's a QB who hurt is shoulder on the arm he throws with and he cannot throw. Like you, they probably also saw or heard the doc/surgeon who said it's a 2-6 week injury to heal. Unlike you, they accepted it and moved on. Hopefully getting focused on the next game.

you could not have possibly played any kind of team sport past 10 or been a manager in any capacity.

 

[dtgold88]

see my response to funbags

I saw it. That's why I'm trying to help you know what he'd say in hopes it makes you feel better.

Ever given any consideration his teammates maybe just had his back? said "we got you. Just focus in getting right?"

FYI, despite your Lebron scenario just being completely ridiculous could you at least redo it with what would really be a similar scenario? I mean, after that really good game by Watson he did, in fact talk to the media. Unfortunately, he just wasn't able to heal as quickly as he thought he would.

Oh, in the Lebron scenario is there also a bye week between games where the players are all allowed to leave?

 

[dtgold88]

still play basketball and managed/coached my kids' teams from 2010-2018 or so. I did deal with occasional parent drama but really not that much so that was great. Are you that parent/worker who complains a lot? Also a manager at work from 2001-2008.

I'm guessing you watched a lot of soap operas and maybe still do? Not sure when sports for you became about drama and not the team you allegedly cheer for though. was that your thing when you played and/or managed/coached, as well?

Its over

Hmm......so you mean when the doc said it should be 2-6 weeks he meant it should be 2-6 weeks?

whoa.

Longer end would suck but maybe if he talks he'll heal and be OK?
