@StephStradley @nick__schwager @BLima790 Serious question: Generally, what are the lawyers going to do outside of sending a sternly worded letter?

Everyone involved is a public figure short Watson alleged victims & Texans admin staff.

@Nate_Tice @thebetz93 @amock419 Ok I REALLY want to hear your argument for Brees over Montana... They seem like the same player to me, with one having far more luck than the other.

@TexansCommenter @JustinM_NFL Who???

Season can’t get here fast enough.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@Cody_Stoots @juandiddy_ Tampa was top 10 in EPA per rush…

How many more 3rd and 7+ did CJ face vs Baker?

Are you sure that if Baker saw 3-4 more 3rd and 7+ the numbers wouldn’t be worse? Thats what you are betting on.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@Cody_Stoots @juandiddy_ I think the real question is who thinks Baker would play better than CJ in the same circumstances…

Bakers numbers only look better because he’s not getting shelled behind his o-line.

@Rick_Ferri @MalarkyFreeZone Using a step up to transition the portfolio to direct indexing makes sense for your core equity exposure.

The sin is using the cash rather than the stepped up assets to establish the position. I’d guess there are lots of concentrated positions that could have been cleaned up.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@MPD_6228 @esidery Say that to Jaxon - that perspective cuts both ways.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@STierGamingCo So you admit Cuddle influenced your decision?

By “prioritizing your current team member” and that team member specifically referenced on X that Cuddle’s feelings were the reason for his issues, that’s exactly what you have now admitted to…

Y’all are not smart.

@john_hickman12 Mike isn't a O-Line specialist so take this with a boulder of salt.

Also read his methodology: PFF grade weighted by his own subjective view of "pedigree & potential"...

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@PRETTYMAMl_ @BenjaminSolak CJ had a bad playoffs. He’s had 3 good playoff games, and 3 stinkers. The sample size is not big enough or consistent enough to draw conclusions.

EPA and PFF don’t take circumstantial data well. For example, in a 3rd and long makes earning positive EPA nearly impossible.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@SeanTPendergast They gotta let someone go eventually (assuming Stroud extension).... Perhaps this is a podcast episode but if not him, who?

Nico?
Dalton?
Pitre?
Sting?
Calen?

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@JohnCrumplerMD Agree, but it’s still annoying. Both sides need thicker skin. Boards and mock drafts are a useful tool, nothing more.

I feel like experts use consensus to avoid doing the work to try and understand a pick, and that laziness contributes much to the toxic convo.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@robertmays @LateRoundQB I know it’s infuriating, but why give the mouth breathers any attention?

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@TexansCommenter @KObjzy Texans can't afford to think like that.

You can't risk 20+% of your cap for the next 5 years on something you think is probably true but can't prove.... Especially when you don't have to make the decision right now.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@TexansCommenter @KObjzy I can understand this, but I do think it’s worth another 6 million / year to maintain the flexibility to trade him if things just aren’t meshing after the season.

If you do the deal you describe it’s cap suicide if you trade him, having options is valuable.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@TexansCommenter @KObjzy This is why a deal is unlikely.

Team politically can’t make him the highest paid QB, but if I’m Stroud that’s what it’ll take to sign me now.

It’s in Stroud’s interest to wait, so we wait.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@TheCoreyBarrett @Djbienaime But all this is with a QB on a rookie deal.

You just aren’t going to be able to pay Stroud 50+ million and pay Nico, Will, Sting, Pitre, and Kamari top dollar at their positions.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@JohnCrumplerMD Stingley deal structured for it, they have an out in 3 years + cap inflation. I question is if they will have the guts to trade Stingley when push comes to shove though.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@Reckoner54 @RichardHanania This is not true.

I live in TX, the difference is that when people complain about development near them here, politicians point to private property rights and put it back on the property owner.

California could use a bit of that resistance.

[Kal! @kenneth_calhoun]

@JeremyBranham @RonnieRaley Perhaps you've moved on but I'll answer:

The $45 mill number would put him very close to top 10 in cash, hence your "If Caserio thought he was a top 10 qb he'd sign him" fails by your own logic.

Point is that perhaps they have tried, but neither side has a reason to do a deal.
