Then why give him franchise qb money?
Justin James Watt is officially the nfl's most overrated player

What you call "franchise qb money" is "jj watt market value he set for himself" money
Not his fault it grew to qb money. Don't put the same corny expectations on him. One player doesn't win a ship. Leave that trash to basketball

The biggest problem here is that Wilfork was brought in to absorb a lot of these watt double teams...and he is not...
As far as overrated...on the one hand he is oh so very good...on the other hand whatever he is doing is not impacting the game because teams are just running up and down the field on the Texans...

So then why should he take less money? To avoid hearing you say "DE should win games"?
He got pad his market value bruh. Stop using NBA cliches to football
You pay him that money in hopes that he will help you win games. Else why bother owning a freaking team. What are they doing all of this for??? The sports doesn't matter genius.
Any Athlete getting an extermely high salary is paid because the underlying belief is that if he is on your team. YOU WILL WIN MORE THAN A TEAM THAT DOESN'T HAVE HIM.
Is that concept so difficult? Breh

I'm sorry...I won't put the expectation that "one player wins you a NFL championship"
That is pure trash.

You pay him the money because he's the best at it and the market value he made for himself ensures that you can't pay him less to keep him.

But him being "the best at it" has not had a single impact on a football game for houston this year...
Hell...the guy who is "the best at it" is about to be apart of the two biggest blowouts in the NFL this year...

romo without a back put jj watt on notice and styled with a TD on him. should have known it won't with it to pay him
Legit might have to preface every Romo comment with "he don't even have a back though"
Romo beat the Giants on a game winning drive and he don't even have a back

What I am saying is...people say JJ was "worth the money"
How?
Team is trash...
Defense is trash...
So what exactly is Houston getting out of Watt that makes people say "yeah they definitely should have given him 100 mil"
I don't see how people can slurp this guy and have him up their as a great defender and even an MVP candidate...but then somehow when his team is trash it doesn't have anything to do with him.

Last year they were asking is Watt better than Reggie White. He's a good player but the incessant dikkriding of the past 2 years wasn't warranted.

No...what you're saying is that he shouldn't get his market value. That's dumb. Someone was going to pay him that salary. So instead of getting mad at the system, you get angry at the symptom which is. JJ Watts market value.
That in it's essence is dumb.
