As for Watson, he'll probably command a top notch salary. If he stays healthy, I got no problem with it (it's not my money). He seems to be kinda wiry strong with a good constitution. He doesn't seem to be the greedy type or want to play hard ball so perhaps he will be reasonable...

Pulling the trigger on a big payday for a young QB is risky business in the NFL, or for that matter so is paying a vet FA Super Bowl QB champ like the Jags did Foles it would seem. But Tribisky is a disaster with the Bears and so is Goff in LA.
I'm almost there with Watson on his big payday but lets see how the rest of the season plays out including another opportunity in the P/Os for our young star QB.

O'Brien says Watt will have a final MRI during Week 17 and, if cleared, will be put on the roster for the playoffs. It's noted that if he re-tears the muscle, he should be healed by the time the 2020 season begins after another surgery.

I think Watt's impact on game preparation makes him someone I'd activiate even if he was not cleared to play. Just suit him up and announce he'll be activated to force the other team to gameplan for him whether he is used or not.

Well, if they do activate him, I don't expect him to be 100% for a game or two (or three) until he gets his full game stamina adjusted. But yeah, if he's feeling fine, got clearance and wants to give it a shot, throw him out there.... I'm thinking he'll get better the longer the Texans can stay in the playoffs.

And what does your crystal ball tell you about how long the Texans stay in the P/Os ?

I see a large black bird with big fangs blocking the path.

And I say the 2019 NFL season has been a significant success for the Texans if they are able to make it to the conference championship vs the Ravens.

I agree if they make the AFCC game. But if the standings remain the same and the Texans win their game against their wild card team, then they will probably meet the Ravens in the 2nd round (divisional playoffs). It would be the Ravens first playoff game. That's the neat thing about getting a bye - you only have to beat one stinkin' team and boom, you're in the AFCC game...

I think if you mortgage your future going all in, you should come away with more than that.

I have no problem with your thinking and don't think you're wrong, I just worry about what this season cost the next few.
