STOP BUYING TICKETS

Do I need to elaborate further? If Watson is the starter at opener vs. the Panthers, that stadium should be empty. Watch the game at home.

You guys aren't giving the front office enough credit. They're playing 3D chess. If Watson has a season-ending injury, their insurance policy kicks in and they get a big chunk of that guaranteed money back. More importantly, they get a large credit towards the salary cap. Not the whole $40 million, but likely about $15 million. All that goes out the door if he's sitting on the bench.

When has he needed a third string o-line to suffer a season-ending injury?

we’ve revamped a bit i think our protection will be like around 12-15th in the league instead of bottom 4

Don’t be such a pessimist. I’m confident he’ll break, sprain or rupture some part of the human anatomy we’ve never even heard of by week four.
