    I have the same worries.

    The difference between the two players AND injuries though, is that one Watson has dealt with something of this nature before and knows when his knee is right and when it's not while the other had never dealt with a major injury of that magnitude and was disregarding the time it takes to heal from that sort of injury.

    Two there's quite a bit of age difference and wear/tear between the two players and when they were injured. Watt was a non stop raging workout machine that wanted nothing more than to one up the success he had from the previous season. Watson is still young and knows he has an entire career ahead of him, so for him to rush anything at this juncture just to get back a month or two early is useless and pointless.

    I'm pretty sure Watson has a good understanding of what he needs to do to make sure his body is 100% prior to taking the field in 2018. At this point we're just hoping Watt can return and be a serviceable edge/inside rusher, not expecting to see the All Pro defensive end that he once was.

    JJ Watt's leg injury may very well have been a compensatory injury.

    The only thing to worry in regards to Watson is the crappy offensive line.

    Meh, both are rookies who will have failures and successes as the NFL adjusts to them and they acclimate to to the NFL.

    Trubisky's accuracy waned some but is pretty impressive.

    Everybody hating on Kizer but he threw the same amount of tds to ints as the great Mitch Trubisky. Plus he was never fully a strter.

    Sorry but Watson played half the games than Mitch and produced more than half the results. You can put Mitch up there if you want to, but the facts say Trubisky was blown out of the water by Watson' output. 19 tds in 6 games compared to 7 tds in 12 games is the only stat that matters.

    Stats are great, but watch their game tape Coach. Trubisky’s natural accuracy is impressive and he’s as athletic as Watson. He does not have Deshaun’s pocket presence — which is huge. Mitchell is very young, relatively inexperienced, and has not grown into a command the room personality yet. He’s somewhat timid still.

    But you can’t forget he was handcuffed by the vaunted John Fox offense. This will be a good QB draft class. It will be very interesting to see how things shake out after 3 years of play.

    Not at all, I'm proud of it.

    I'm also a football fan. I had zero interest in Trubisky for us for the very reasons I stated: leadership and pocket presence.

    Holy ****. Was Deshaun seriously 10 for 10 on TDs/completed pass inside the 10? That's insane.

    Save your money on whatever it is he's shilling there, just another Twitter "expert" who doesn't know what he's talking about. ''Tis the season for fantasy football dude to dupe football fans out of their hard earned money.

    If you really want to learn QB, try https://www.twitter.com/MarkSchofield. He actually played the position.
