I think Watson plays best when it is a big game and when he is coming from behind. He did that a lot at Clemson. He showed that type of character against Alabama in the CFB championship game. A lot of fans are down on him now, so, he will have a bounce back game next preseason game or whenever he plays again.
I hear ya, but Watson has some work to do, no shame in it, he's a rookie playing the toughest position in the NFL.
Sometimes you have to lie a little to be a team guy. Sometimes you have to take the fall for your owner's decisions. It's how you earn your big salary. Not everything BOB tells media is 100% the truth. Texans teammates, Bill O'Brien standing by Brock Osweiler -- Savage was to start next game but hospitalized with elbow infection, players were team Savage November 28, 2016 Bill O’Brien: “We Have Not Given Up On Brock Osweiler” -- gave up on him a month before December 21, 2016 Texans coach Bill O'Brien said it is too early in the process to know whether Brock Osweiler will be the starting quarterback next season. -- BO was on his way out of town Jan 16, 2017
I think O 'Brien is the only coach who can make Watson look boring. Why don't we use Germone Hopper with Watson? Weren't they teammates at Clemson and wasn't Hopper receiving for him at the college combine? Instead he has no opportunity to create chemistry with a stable corps of 2s. Receivers are going in and out. I also hated all those handoffs to the RBs that went nowhere.
That throw was truly incredible. Other than that, I thought it was a very poor outing. Hoping he can bounce back with an extended look next week.
The throw he made to Wendell Williams across his body was better but Williams dropped it. But overall Watson was pretty bad
Let's ask the guys who gave Brock Osweiler $37 million guaranteed and started Mallet twice how to evaluate QBs.
What were their options The offense was limited by Schaub's talent. There is Brady but all the other other franchise quarterbacks have raw talent If Savage stays healthy the offense will expand
Hopefully this looks different next pre-season. I'm not expecting Watson to ever be the best QB from this class, but it would be nice if he was top 3 by next season.
Well sure, we can hope for that, but I don't think it's realistic to expect it. He's got a lot of intangibles which is great, but he's got a long way to go before he's a starting quality NFL QB.
