Ah, franchises, hoping Let's say you started with nothing but but a huge cache of draft picks, right?

What you're hoping if you drafted high up year after year, is eventually you might find the Shawn Watson.

Very few quarterbacks have ever played like this.

And then a character guy who's a champion in college, who is the kind of guy who makes everyone believe, who's exactly who you want representing your franchise.

You're lucky if you ever come close to finding that guy, even if the point is to rebuild your franchise.

You have that guy, and you have so alienated him.

I think if I'm the New York Jets, I'm willing to Terry the number two overall, pick the number 25 overall.

Pick even a couple of draft picks to get my hand on the Shawn Watson City.

If you're the New York Jets, trade a first round picks and trading both first round picks and whatever else you need to get your hands on the shore.

If you're the New York Jets, that's number one.

I think there's an investigation that needs to take place in tow.

What transpired from the time the Shawn Watson cried with gratitude about the Houston Texans paying him what they paid them, even though anybody would have given it to him?

Of course, they need their needs to be an investigation into what happened from that moment to right now because he went from being completely and totally appreciative off the faith that they showed in him toe lose a complete faith in them in the season.

Got stuff that's something wrong with that picture.

And again, I don't want to sit up there and and and and and sully the dead or anything like that.

We know Babic near the former owner, is God, God rest his soul.

Prior to the whole social justice issue, Uh, the whole social justice movement.

He had alienated DeAndre Hopkins Once upon a time.

DeAndre Hopkins didn't like some of the things he said, you know, with the whole, you know, inmates running the asylum and all of this other stuff.

Then the social justice issues came about, and obviously he's gone.

But his family is still running the show.

When I've spent time with Davos Sweeney, the coach at Clemson, he raves about the character of the show on.

Watson called him not just the Michael Jordan as a talent, but talked about his will to win his perseverance, his tenacity.

We know the great story with him, his mom.

What has her from you going in one season toe having nothing but gratitude for the team that gave you this money to not wanting anything to do with them.

Jeff, I don't know what, but you being the players association being officer, you know, being in the NFL fears, knowing the NFL, the way you do.

Guys don't switch on a team like that unless something happened.

Listen, you can't You are spitting truth.

You trade away DeAndre Hopkins, which you know is actually detrimental to this football team.

Because whatever you want to say about Hopkins, this cat came out every Sunday, win or lose and left it all out there.

You see the minute that he goes to the cards, what he did for that organization as a whole.

You have one of the top five quarterbacks in our game, not only on the field, but probably maybe top two or three off the field.

And what does Shawn Watson brings to your organization?

What he's done in your community, like like, like Max said, won a championship, the leadership, all the things that he has brought to this organization.

And at this point, you have so alienated this guy, he's ready to leave.

Something went down and I could tell you it's big.

It's the lack of respect of asking What what direction do you think we should be heading?

Whether it's general manager, whether it's it's head coach.

Whether it's offensive coaches, you name it.

I'm not saying they make the decision, but I'm saying you hear out what their thoughts are, because listen, they live it every day, right?

The owner doesn't live it every day, and I have no idea how McNair's run his football team, but without a general manager.

And the head coach was a general manager who you fire midway through the season.

The first guys I'm bringing in is the nucleus and the leadership of your team.

Three or four on offense, three or four on defense.

Then you have a private meeting with DeShaun Watson.

And again, he's not making the final call, but his input is valued and trusted because you know he's on board with your team.

I mean, I don't understand how many more guys got to get, you know and be be on board with what you have.

Once he's in, it goes a much better direction.

It's just disappointing how they moved on.
