Yup I hate to say it, but Brees is pretty much finished. He can't push the ball down the field at all. Hell, it's one thing to be able to throw the deep pass(which Brees definitely can't do), but he passes up 20-25 yard throws down the field in favor of drop offs. Kamara is the only individual we have that keeps defenses off guard and makes them have to adjust.

How long do you think he would last when he starts demanding that Payton and Loomis pick the players and coaches he wants? He is the opposite of what Payton looks for in a player. No way in hell he comes here.

Let's face it, the Houston Texans are a dysfunctional franchise. They have a brand new GM & his job is to make the Texans better, not the New Orleans Saints. Last time I looked, the Saints were 94M over the cap. We could blow up the entire roster and still be over.

We have limited capital/flexibility & way down the draft order. There are quite a few other teams who can propose better offers than the Saints.

I'd love to have Desean however I don't see how he would be a realistic option for New Orleans.

You may have misread what I said or do not understand why Watson is upset but in case you didnt I will make this easy. You should look up what an NFL General Manager's job responsibility is. No a QB should never have a say in who the next GM is.. Ever. If Drew Brees comes back next year and Mickey Loomis is replaced in the off season Drew will have no say in who replaces Loomis. On what planet do employees participate in the hiring of executive management?

If you are saying that a franchise QB should have a voice in what the General Manager does in regards to player selection, which is what your reads as, then I agree. To say that a QB has a say in who the next GM is is absurd and doesn't happen anywhere.

One knows football the other knows contracts, Cap, and negotiations.

A Head Coach hiring maybe but that's it.

Do you think Brooks sat in the office with Tom and bullet pointed Mickey Loomis's pros and cons? LOL:bng:

Re: I would bet the farm on Deshaun Watson
 

I agree with you..., they shouldn’t. But the Texans owner did assure Watson back in December that the QB would indeed have a voice in the hiring processes of both the new GM and the coaches. So, basically the owner lied, deliberately, to Deshaun.

So, You’re right; imho player’s, even franchise players, shouldn’t be involved in the hiring of a GM. But when you give your word, and immediately go back on it, it proves you as deceitful, a liar, and not someone the player’s should trust. Heck, if I were an owner, I wouldn’t allow it, but if I gave my word, my assurances to the player’s, I would honor that commitment.

Janice McNair is worth $3.9B, that’s what they do.. exploit gullibility. all of them.

I have lived in Houston for 11 years now , the Texans have always been a sh1tshow. Bon was no better than Janice. When people say a franchise wasted a players career, the Texans is always what enters my mind.

This is why athletes don’t have much of a say in high level discussions, it’s not that they can’t be trusted it’s that they don’t have the experience to provide value and be productive. They are a risk, heck players don’t even head their own union. I’m not Tillman Fertitta but I’ve participated in discussions and negotiations for contracts over $125M... it’s a dance and you take nothing for face value. Watson believing McNair doesn’t speak to McNair’s character, it speaks to Watsons gullibility. If it’s not in black and white with a signature it’s meaningless to those guys.

Those owners did not amass their fortunes with transparency and honesty, not a single one of them.

Desean Watson is 25 years old with a degree in Communication.
We all think of our selves as intelligent but honestly.. what skill sets do we have that would allow us to vet Loomis on contract negotiations and Cap management. Everyone says he works magic, no one says what he does is simple. I’m not a magician. Sorry I got started and couldn’t stop lol.

Tl:dr

What value does Desean Watson think he will contribute to the hiring process of an executive that will be charged with cap management and contract negotiations?

A lot of people were upset that we had an assistant coach doing a one hour interview during a playoff week... a QB of a 4-12 team should be focused on an executive management hiring lol. He should be saying no to that

Re: I would bet the farm on Deshaun Watson
 

I recently made a point that if Carson Wentz was available we should maybe consider him too, however there have been a few reports that have called him "borderline uncoachable" and that he always thinks he knows best.

I'd love to sign Stafford from a few years ago on this team, he's still a very good player but as Detroit often does, they've let their franchise player take a beating over the years.

Brother, for all intents and purposes, we are broke. Loomis will need to pull the eye or sauron out of his azz to make 2021 work.
