Twitter: Stephen on TJ Watt: was in “serious contention” to be pick. “I wish we would’ve done that."

[Runwildboys]

Yeah great....and guess what.....I would in trade all of that in a second to be in another situation than we are right now.

Someone would have bought the Dallas Cowboys as an investment and let them be run correctly as far as football ops, not to placate their own ego.

Sure fine....theres no guarantees there, but I'll about give you a guarantee NOW....this team wont win as currently constructed....for quite some time...if ever.

IDK, I wouldn't trade the experience of having the Triplets on this team. I'm fairly certain that only happened because JJ brought in JJ.

 

[Runwildboys]

So is this a point Stephen went out his way to randomly make, or was he just responding to a specific question?

 

[Mr_437]

There is no excuse for picking Taco over TJ and that's ALL foresight.

 

[Hardline]

This is why you draft BPA regardless of scheme fit.
Draft talent and worry about scheme fit later.

JJ inherited Irvin and the #1 overall pick which everyone and their grandmother knew was going to be Aikman.

"They" (only Jimmy really) only brought in Emmitt, which was a great find because a lot of people had multiple RB's ahead of him.

Even Jimmy was focused on Blair Thomas, who went 2nd overall, and then shifted his sights on Emmitt once he knew he couldn't move up high enough to grab Thomas. On most draft magazines (no websites back then), Emmitt was like the 6th or 7th ranked RB.

Lots of teams passed on TJ Watt, not just the Cowboys.

At least Stephen admits the mistake. I guess.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

Rod and JG probably would of shoved the round peg in a square hole and TJ wouldn't be near the player he is now. Those two didn't know how to create a scheme to best utilize their players talents they just shoved their players in their old garbage schemes.

Ugh.

Yeah and I wish your old man didnt buy this iconic franchise and turn it into his hobby.

Let's sulk together.

We wouldnt have 5 rings nor Jimmy sooo lol

 

[Runwildboys]

I'm ashamed that it took me almost 30 seconds to figure out why you chose this gif. Lol

 

[blueblood70]

Ya Think?

blah blahj blah..get passed it !! 6 year old draft pick who went 30th ..you miss your estrogen shots?

does he help the Steelers go 16-0 every year since he was drafted? did he help them get better then 8-8 when they had lost AB, BELL, and Ben in the last few years?
you do realize the Steelers are well coached and full of great players. Its not Just TJ watt...he fit their scheme well, they tok him and now its history but dude was passed over by 29 other teams.im betting their forums doesnt have drool fest over him..

you realize teams ALL do this they allow players like Aaron Donald, Brady, Rogers, and far too many to list fall farther then they should, all the QBs taken before Mahomes that draft etc etc why wasn't Mahomes taken #1 , hmm its a called hindsight.
yes maybe it was mistake not getting him but dude aint the the only player on the Steelers..

so needing not one but two posts this week on watt regrets is stupid hes nt the best defensive player s in the league that would be Donald who.w ho went 13th overall, dude would have been taken #1 overall like didnt the Texans take clowney first overall..

how stupid was that LOL how could they possible not pick Donald?

because no one is perfect thats why, you cant just know player greatness before they actually show it...

fans around here are clueless..they dont get drafts and FA signings are all just not perfect mistakes made by all teams..

 

[tyke1doe]

His talents would have been wasted here. It's good the Steelers picked him up.

 

[cern]

How many passed on tom brady 6 times. If we had a decent hc and dc when taco was taken, history might have been different.

I voluntarily skipped my estrogen shots.

I never miss my estrogen shots.

They're not moobs! They're power bags!

 

[Runwildboys]

Of course not. What would you have to play with at bedtime?

 

[blueblood70]

that one example i mean TJ went 30th that means 29 other teams thought he wasn't good fit, Clowney taken #1 overall in the same draft Donald went 13th.

mistakes are made all the time..
