Four wins came because he had no talent around him. Washington currently has more talent than Houston comparatively speaking. He was still the yards leader in the entire NFL.I don’t doubt watsons talents . I just wonder how he ended up with 4 wins .
Look at the Texans , they stink because of bad management stripping them of their future for quick fixes .
it could be 2024 before we can get this man some help via the draft
55 mil in cap space isn’t a whole lot . Take 15 mil off the top for sherff .( remember you are not likely to draft his equal in round 3 or less)
so you are at 40 mil not counting Watson’s cap impact
so now we will have lost RK ,Ironman or Payne / Allen or both ( maybe chase or sweat ) and expect that it will have the same level of play ,lb and safety won’t get addressed unless you say screw wr .
we have the first place schedule to play so you are saying Watson will overcome that get us 12 wins and a super bowl ?
I just don’t see a viable plan to put weapons in place for him
We have no idea that getting Watson changes thatFine, let's stay mediocre for another 10 - 20 years.
Possible 3rd round compFour wins came because he had no talent around him. Washington currently has more talent than Houston comparatively speaking. He was still the yards leader in the entire NFL.
Let's talk about quick fixes or shortcuts as another poster referred to them. The best thing about them is, if you take the correct one, you get there a lot sooner.
I agree that 55M isn't a whole lot, but Rivera has employed a whole new team, make them earn their money by producing and (in my favorite dum-dum voice__ Bruce Allen) let them start "winning off the field!"
The NFC East is a boat load of cow dung at the moment, 7-9 won the division and every team except one (Giants) is in turmoil because of one thing or the other. You play the team that's in front of you and you play to win. That said, if there's any chance to win games with that first place schedule, that chance begins and ends with a player like Watson! Who else do you have that you can confidently say will do the same?
Ironman came in the 5th round, Payne the first, both play in the interior of the line, the easier of all positions to fill. RK, should have been traded a year or two ago. He's going elsewhere because he want to start. Net gained from keeping him, very, very little! Oh yeah, he get to be inducted into the ring of fame.![]()
What we know for certain is that teams that are bold enough to smartly take chances once in a while gets ahead, staying pat, playing low ball acquisitions, or, signing peaked/ retrograde talent has yielded this team exactly what under Bruce Allen's tenure? Keep in mind that by the time that this team gets either it's stopgap guy or a rookie is seasoned enough to have the confidence and control of this offense, there are numerous players who will no longer be here, same as always.We have no idea that getting Watson changes that
Geeez thanks!Possible 3rd round comp
Pick
In fact, he'll be 27 and coming off two straight playoff experiences. I'm not sure how deep they will go in those playoffs. Yes I'm that sure!Even if Washington gives up a couple 1st rounders by the time they have a 1st rounder again he will still be under the age of 30
Why does Watson hate Houston??
I don't believe that Mcnabb was a FA when we acquired him. However, the big difference between the others and watson is that we didn't lose any draft or personnel capital in signing them. Watson will cost us half a team.Question(s):
1. Is it true that Mariotta, Carr, and Tyrod Taylor are second tier QB's? (mid to lower half of QB's by ranking)
2. What guarantees do we have that we are going to strike gold with any of the draft picks that are kept?
3. Would you rather have a bona fide star that attracts other players who want to come play with him, than good, middle of the road guys who keep you relevant but not championship level relevant. (the latter is the history of this team}
4. For the gun shy based upon history, what's the difference between going after big ticket free agents like Deion, Archuletta, Mcnabb, etc and a player like Watson?
How many wins did that superb play get them ? 4 wins . If you gut the defense and the draft just what are you doing ?
Watson was hurt and missed 9 games his rookie year. Since then, he could've started/played in 48 games at the very most, He's started/played 47 games of those 48.Anyone want to talk about Watson’s 2 previous ACL. Injuries ? How many did RG3 have ? Hint 2
