Yeah, but just pointing out they aren't far off, despite their bad record last season.

They'll invest in the OL and add a WR plus tinker with the defense.....they could be a 8-8 or 9-7 team next season. Could be one of those quick turnarounds in just a year with the right pieces added. And Watson is a franchise QB.

Nah, they are pretty far off.

Terrible defense, few offensive weapons.

If they traded for Watson it would cost a lot of draft capital and they would be in the same spot Houston is in, just with the coach Watson wants.

NY has a ton of picks this draft and next year.

And a lot of cap space. 2nd most, behind the Jags.

Acquiring Watson eats into picks and cap space.

And I am not saying they shouldn’t do it. It is just crazy they are at the top of Watson’s list. It seems he cares more about playing for a black coach than anything else.

If you're a team that has an otherwise good core he plugs in and elevates them

San Francisco, wash, Indy etc
I'd lowball them and offer a 2nd and 3rd. Given his age.

Only if I had to.....would I offer a late 1st rounder.....and maybe a conditional 4th.

Poirier needs a title shot and McGregor should fight Nate Diaz or Poirier again if he doesn't get a title shot.

Can't decide if McGregor has lost some of his power, or just needs to be more active. He hit Poirier with some shots that usually put a guy down and Poirier just ate them and kept fighting. I think that surprised McGregor.

Had to pull for the fellow Irishman. Was even drinking some Proper No. 12 too. lol

No thanks.

He is toast.

If Rivera wanted him, he would have gotten him last season.

I'm a Cam fan but he ruined his chances of getting a starting job. Need to accept a role as a backup for next season

Was talking to my son about that. He said those calf kicks were what took McGregor's power. I guess they deaden the leg which robs some of the power from the punches. He said it only takes connecting on 2-3 of those before they start deadening the leg. Connor has a wide stance, which makes it easier to land the kick. He said "I hate the damn calf kick. I'm 6'4" and have a wide stance. So guess what everyone wants to do when sparring?" lol

Yeah, that $20 million quote was insane.

Can got $7 million last year and played like crap. If he gets even that much I will be shocked.

The Bucs are mismanaging this clock horribly this last possession.

If they hadn’t picked up that 3rd down Rodgers would have gotten the ball with 1:40 left.

I’m sorry but that sounds racist as F

Packers straight up gave this one away. It all starts by going for 2 when they shouldn’t have. I know it gets you within 3 but you shouldn’t be planning on kicking a fg at this point anyway and if you don’t make it a fg still beats you. Then of course Rodgers could have ran it in on third down. Then we have a coach that should never coach another down anywhere by kicking a fg at the end. Just stupidity all around.

LaFleur had a great season.

Yeah, he would have surely made some different decisions if he had to do it over again.

But to say he doesn’t deserve to coach another down is ridiculous.
