What makes Watson so enticing is that he's a top talent who's only getting better, and he's only 25. Guys like that just don't become available very often. That's why the price is going to be high. Personally I think the way he's forcing his way out is a bit of a red flag that shouldn't be brushed aside.

LOL, I'm laughing at your intro. Yeah, this isn't like it's the 70's, 80's, or early 90's. The advent and growth of the internet, social media, sports being shoved down our throats 24 hours a day/7 days a week, and, of course, NFL Sunday Ticket and Red Zone has eliminated being from a specific area carrying weight to people from that specific area or region being more knowledgeable of a particular team. It's only relevant if a person doesn't focus on any teams other than their own or something similar.
I told a friend a few days ago that I'm now leery of Watson due to his "tail wagging the dog" scenario. I'm not sure I wanna go that route. I also don't wanna give up the farm to get him.
I somewhat agree with 'Defensewins,' re: Watson has a tendency to hold onto the ball too long. He's a heckuva talent, but the propensity to hold onto the ball increases his chances for unnecessary sacks and hits. It's slightly nitpicking as his pros certainly outweighs his cons, but it's still something to keep an eye on.
