If we had an option for a future QB out of Watson, Darnold, or Stafford....

Who would you want as a fan?

Personally, I would take Watson. But I think we could get Darnold for cheap, and Stafford would fit in the system even though he’s a little older.

If we had the option it should be Watson and anyone who says one of the two other names is plain wrong

If the Saints are really %70 million over the cap next year.
Darnold would be the only one we could afford. makes less than a million in base each of the next two years.

Watson makes $35MM in base salary in 2022, owed $37 MM the following season.

Payton would re-write the single season offensive record books with Watson, Kamara, and Thomas on the same team.

How is this even a question?

It's Watson.

The only factor for equal talent would be age, but Darnold is only two years younger than Watson and isn't nearly as good.

And Watson's cap hit next season is around $10M if traded.

Is this a joke? It’s not even a decision between those 3. Watson is on another level.

Watson. Not even a discussion. Any reasonable ask Houston would have for him that we could feasibly put together in terms of an offer is one we should consider if he was available and they were willing to deal him to us.

if that meant 4 1sts and some additional draft compensation you do it.

Watson is on the elite tier of young QBs that could be the face of the league for the next 10-15 years in the right situation. Along with Mahomes who is the obvious front runner.

Watson because of everything.

Darnold if I gave up very little.

Stafford if I get 3 solid years or if he was the same age as Watson.
