As great as he is, Henry is still just a running back and this is 2021. This is not nearly as big a setback for the Titans as it would be for a team losing its franchise QB. I don’t believe the Titans will suffer nearly as much as some predict.

Hate to see anyone injured, but when you give a RB that many touches, he’s going to get dinged up. I have feeling the Titans will still be very tough without Henry.

It’s really that simple. No need to overthink it.

Yep. Can’t bye a break.

He’s in an impossible position…either flat-out lie or be evasive and slippery…he’s not very good at it.

For my money, the greatest RB of all time.

Lynn had every intention of playing Tyrod for half the season or more. Even after Tyrod was hurt and Herbert was lighting it up, Lynn said Tyrod was “still the starter”. That’s when I knew he would be fired.

I agree. Justin Herbert is another example. He graduated early from high school and participated in Oregon’s spring practices as an 18-year old. The upcoming seniors and juniors were all talking about him, saying he needed to start right away. Unfortunately, it took Mark Helfrich half a wasted season to figure that out. I’m guessing the guys on the Chargers were saying the same thing last season when Anthony Lynn was rolling out Tyrod as the starter…

This is pretty much the bottom line with the Watson situation, and it has been since the story broke. Unless he is vindicated, which seems highly unlikely, Watson is radioactive. No one, not even Stephen Ross, wants him as the face of their franchise. I think that’s also why Houston isn’t playing him: It would just be too embarrassing.

I saw that. It was Maurice Jones-Drew. Very interesting comment. I think he was initially talking about the Phins’ players’ lack of belief in Tua, but I might be misremembering it.

At about this point in the 2012 CFB season, West Virginia was undefeated and Geno was considered the front runner to be the first overall pick in the 2013 draft. Well, at least he’s still in the league. Was 2013 the worst draft of all time?

Football with bad quarterbacks is just awful. Thank god Bills fans don’t have to live that anymore.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that the Watson saga is a strange and unprecedented situation, where the publicly available information is probably less than half of the whole story…we’re all just guessing, at this point.

Plenty of players have gone on the list without being charged with a felony—or any crime at all—with Kareem Hunt and Ben Roethlisberger being two notable examples.

“Positive” as in no criminal charges and the lawsuits all go away. As long as criminal charges are a real possibility, no one is trading for him.

The Watson trade rumors appear to have been put out by the Texans. Watson is still a Texan so yes, the rumors have been false, just like the one that he would be traded by the end of last week. I don’t believe anyone is trading multiple first round picks for him until there is a positive resolution of his legal situation.

So you’re saying Doc is wrong because Rappaport, who’s wrong all the time, has reported something? He works for nfl.com and/or NFL network. Not the same thing. And he’s been reporting (apparently) false Watson trade rumors for months.

Sorry, I don’t believe that. They have been told if they suit him up, the league will suspend him or put him on the commissioner’s exempt list.

That makes no sense. If Watson refuses to play, they don’t have to pay him. Are the Texans running a charity operation now?

Then why aren’t the Texans playing him?

I could see Tenn losing to Indy next week. Just doesn’t seem like a great matchup for them, and coming off two huge wins…

Plus the bust rate for o linemen drafted in top 7 is way too high. Chase was an absolute slam dunk.

LOL anyone who thought the Bengals should have drafted Sewell instead of Chase. (Sorry Gunner…)

Why do people spell his name this way? At any rate, yes, he’s regressed. He does not respond well to a strong pass rush.

Mahomes overrated?
