Us hauling 2 first round picks wasn’t a surprise for that. For Watson, you have a 120 mil against the cap and a disgruntled diva who had one of the best wr’s in the league for a good portion of his rookie contract. You can argue he is a franchise player all day but some will still say he is overrated all things considering.

But Stafford pulling that is ridiculous because of his age. I understood a lot of the trade was the lions also eating the contract of Goff. But You don’t have to act like people are stupid for not thinking he is worth what he yielded. It’s a debatable point.

I think in this case you take teams like the saints out of the equation because of the contract alone.

I'm honestly not acting like people are stupid.. Seriously

The league has changed... if a top 5 (not top 3) CB can get 2 1sts, a "franchise QB" should get a lot more.

That's all.

Expect Watson is no more a "franchise QB" than Scott Mitchell was a "franchise QB."

He runs a 4.68 40. That's a super slow defensive back. Cam Newton, a much bigger guy ran a 4.59
His 3 cone is good 6.95 but not elite. Tim Tebow, another bigger guy a 6.66.
The best you can say is he is mobile QB but he's not lighting fast or super athletic..

He's of slightly below average size for an NFL QB.

And been able to put garbage stats on a bad team.

Plus suffered a major injury.

He does have elite wing span though at 81 inches (Wing span of someone who is 6 foot 9)

There's so many questions marks about him that it's a gamble to assume you are trading for a "franchise QB".  He could easily be garbage after trading the farm for him.
