Your posts are well thought out and insightful. Thank you. I understand DW had women all over him, but he seems to have taken it to a predatory level. I think the PR fall out would really be a horrible distraction.
However, from a pure football POV, I don't think we can afford to give up 3 firsts ++ for him. I would much rather invest those picks into the OL/DL/MLB/RB and if Tua isn't the guy either bring in a vet (Minshew) to compete or draft another QB (hopefully tall/strong/smart and with a rocket arm).
What are your thoughts?
First thank you for the kind words.
As far as DW4 I truly truly don’t believe he’s any kind of predator. He’s definitely promiscuous. He was like that at Clemson. But at the same time when you’re so used to having any woman you want and you don’t really even have to work for it then it can obviously go to your head. I’m sure he got full of himself even to the point where it was like hey I’m DeShaun Watson come do this for me or that for me. It probably made a few of them uncomfortable and maybe they did feel like they couldn’t say no.
I just have a really hard time in believing in today’s world where women are more strong willed and headstrong than ever that all 22 of these women all just happened to be the timid type where they felt they couldn’t say anything. I’ve seen so many guys in my profession alone say really super inappropriate things to a woman and the woman react and just cut the guy down verbally and really embarrass him. Again I understand that not all women are the same I truly do but he just happened to get 22 different women all with that type of timid mentality? That’s just hard for me to believe.
I definitely don’t believe he ever touched or forced any woman to do anything sexually. I’ve been around the guy to much to know better than that. Now I’m sure he may have asked them to do things sexually and if they showed some kind of physical body language where they didn’t like what he said or proposed just knowing him I believe he’d back off and apologize. As a matter of fact I believe one or a couple of the women’s stories go just like that. That’s a part of this from their side that I can totally believe.
DW4 is a straight up mamas boy. His mom is such a sweet and kind lady and she’s been through it health wise believe me. She doesn’t even have a tongue from cancer but he had to grow up really quickly bc this happened when he was young like 14/15 and his mom spent a ton of time in the hospital like months at a time. His aunt is an extremely firm and strong willed woman. They basically tag teamed raising him and knowing them and he himself I just can’t fathom him forcing himself on any woman.
If it turns out I’m wrong then so be it and I’ll be happy to admit I was but I truly don’t think I am. What I will say that he’s guilty of the most is being stupid and putting himself in those situations but sometimes you have to learn a lesson the hard way. God knows I’ve made my mistakes and some large ones at that. So has every single person in the world that ridicules him and cracks jokes and talks s*it about him automatically assuming he’s guilty. Those people are so fast to judge just bc they see 22 women filed lawsuits. They act like they’re perfect and he’s some piece of trash. This saga has been going on for like 6/7 months now and I just believe if their is all these women that by now somebody or some reporter or one or some of these women would have some type of concrete proof and he would have been arrested by now. I mean if it’s that egregious wouldn’t something anything at all have come out by now? That’s where I have a hard time with this whole thing but that’s just me.
As for the football side of things and I’ll admit theirs some obvious bias in me but I would be jumping for joy if we got him as long as it’s under the right circumstances meaning we don’t have to give everything Houston wants. My biggest thing right now is that he wants to be in Miami. We are by far and away his preferred destination. As I’ve said I’m not saying he won’t accept a trade somewhere else but the other couple teams I’ve been told either filled their QB problem this last offseason or drafted a young guy. So my thing is I don’t want us to bid against ourselves knowing we have some type of leverage bc he has the veto power over where he goes.
Philly had a package put together and even made the offer to Houston which Houston wanted to accept but he told them no he wasn’t going to Philly. I say if we could get him for say 2 #1s and 2 players say X and Gesicki then yeah I’d do that deal anyway. But I’m almost sure it’s going to take more than that.
If I were guessing I would guess it’s probably going to look something like...
2022 #1 we own from SF
2023 #1 we own from SF
2023 #1 that’s ours
2022 #2
2023 #2
2024 #4
OR
2022 #1 we own from SF
2023 #1 that’s ours
2023 # 2 that’s ours
Xavien Howard
Mike Gesicki and
Jaylen Waddle or Preston Williams.
But again these are just guesses. Please don’t take it as a certainty.
