What is his role? So does everybody on the team who doesn't want to be traded because of whatever Easterby did not seeing things as well as Watson and 5 players who were let go by the team? Why are the 5 seeing it correctly and the 150 not? -

Instead of trying to split the atom on how stats are measured, let's keep it simple and just apply basic logic. Should we not expect a 31 year old to lose speed? Should we not expect a tiny guy who's losing his speed, to struggle getting the same separation he relied on all these years? Even if you disagree with the majority of fans (who think he's slowed), wouldn't the trained eyes of the coaches know better? And if TY still had it (and Rivers was at fault), wouldn't TY get a better/longer deal than 1 year / 8M? Should we believe TY's stats are simply wrong, while most of the other pass catchers are grading better at separation while getting the same balls, by the same QB? Are stats out to get TY, or is Philip just bad throwing to TY and good to everyone else? And nobody saying Rivers is great. But simply other pass catchers are grading better with Rivers, than TY. TY relied on his speed all these years (along with route running). He's losing that speed, and now has to rely on route running (for tough yards) and mismatches (seam and bad DBs) for the majority of his highlights. There's no mystery here. It's just getting harder for him. I really hope he can squeeze one more 1000 yard season out for the Colts. -
You are having a different conversation than I am. I'm talking about the narrow issue of Watson possibly being traded, and citing the reasons he supposedly stated for wanting to be traded. I show you articles because you insinuate that I am wrong about those reasons. What the culture is or is not in the HOU organization is not relevant, because no articles have cited culture as being the reason. Its also not relevant to Watson, because it seems to me that if these adverse conditions were long standing since the time AJ and Foster were in the locker room, then those conditions must not have have been a big deal to Watson in September when he chose to extended his playing time with such a bad organization run by such awful political owners. That must not be the reason he wants a trade.

Doug refuses to acknowledge Jack Easterbys role in all of this. I don't care one way or the other about what happened, but to ignore the Easterby connection is ignorant. -

You're making a strawman argument. Because no one is saying this is the way you “fill a team with elite play making talent”. No one is saying that. We were only responding to your clearly false assertion that you can’t find talent in bargain basement shopping. That’s false. And it costs next to nothing to explore. Ballard is looking for elite talent primarily in the draft. Or with a rare select trade. Or a value signing from free agency. Shopping in the bargain isle at the 99 cent store might not get you much 9 out of 10 times. But the one time it works, you can find a very helpful player.
