The bridge between stupid and useless is short.
Steve Young is probably my favorite qb of all time. Not the best of course but a favorite. He was the best improv gunslinger I can think of before farve stole the title.

How long we've been saying this?
Of the young QB's in the league , who isn't a "Dual Threat" ?
I'm just saying we've been saying that since McNabb & Vick

Depends on how you define "young." Sam Darnold, Gardner Minshew, Drew Lock, Dwayne Haskins and Jared Goff aren't dual threat QBs. None of those guys have come close to rushing for 100 yards in a season.

I hope this thread disappears soon because Watson doesn't take another snap this season. Don't allow DW4 to go down with a terrible injury during a meaningless game. The Texans HC and GM jobs are unattractive enough as it is.
Do you mean 100 yards in a game?
Because Darnold's already run for 100 this season in just 9 games. He's actually fairly athletic.
Minshew also ran for over 300 yards last year and he has almost 150 in just 8 games this year.

Yes. That was my mistake on Minshew. I still don't know if I'd consider Darnold a dual-threat since even Brady has 3 seasons with over 100 yards rushing.
I have a much tighter definition of "dual threat." You have statues (Brady, Manning, Bledsoe), mobile QBs (Rodgers, Mahomes, etc.) and actual dual-threat QBs (Watson, Newton, Jackson, Wilson, etc.). The difference between a QB who is simply mobile and one who is actually a dual-threat is that a real dual-threat QB will get his fair share of designed runs and/or keeps on RPOs.
Yep, this season is lost.
I would sit DW4 unless I thought he needed the reps, which I dont think is the case.

He does need the reps, but not with all the skill players out injured and with this lame duck coaching staff.
I was wondering why the hell he was still on the field in the 4th quarter of Bears game.
They keep putting him thru that kinda crap and he'll be broken beyond repair.

When he got banged up and left the game for the 4th down play that should have been the end of his afternoon. I don't who or why they let him play the 4th quarter down 30 points.
After that TD got overturned , I don't think he wanted to be on the field anymore .... just his body language.
After the play he got banged up on , he never should have gone back out there, McCarron should have finished that game.

Lol now we’re experts on body language around these parts.
Are you saying he had good body language?
I dont blame him for being dejected for being stuck on a crappy team, but he took the $$$$ and he's going to have to accept the consequences of that decision. (Being stuck on a crappy team for atleast the next 3 yrs.)
BTW, I'm missing the good plays from the Bears game.

Wait a second.....I thought Watson made a beautiful play when he practically hit Aikens in the numbers and he dropped a perfect TD pass.
Like I said in the gameday thread, this week the DW4 good plays thread would be a very short read and this has proven to be true.

It's like every year there is one of those games that just goes to complete crap. This game had that last year's Broncos game feel to it. Like the guys didn't even want to be there or something. Just awful that this team puts out games like that.

LMAO. You were never interested in any of the previous good plays. I don't think you ever made a comment or compliment any of the other good plays. Since you are so interested, here you go.
@steelbtexan, here is Watson making pre-snap adjustments and still completing a pass while his RT imitates a turnstile.
Very good play, like I said there wouldn't be much added to this thread this week. The entire team looks like they've quit.
Quoted for truth and yet, here's Earl polishing a turd.
I think you're missing the bigger picture, the entire team stunk and that includes DW4.

If you wanted to look deeper you might walk away with at least 28 good plays especially with this OL and running game.....might've been more plays if passes were caught (1 being a TD).....6 bad plays were due to holding the ball too long and some due to a horrendous OL. Just looking at this, the good far outweighed the bad since we're focusing on one player. I don't think Watson ever gave up in this game.....if he had, he would've stayed injured and let McCarron go in and take the beating. Defensively, that might be the group who gave up.

Really? You gonna blame Akins for this? Like the Sun all of a sudden decided to shine on that one spot in the end zone?
It didn’t rotate after the snap. This is just more evidence of Watson’s lack of awareness.

I don’t pay attention to crap like that. Literally over watching and over analyzing stuff as usual.

Please stop wasting Deshaun Watson’s greatness
A quarterback as great as Deshaun Watson has never played for a losing team. But in Houston, that’s what’s unfolding.

Pretty eye opening......and absolutely concur with the final statement, Houston...how in the duck did you allow this to happen? I spiced it up a bit to incorporate my anger towards this continued shite-show. This is for a full 18 years of ineptitude b/c not one group can stand up and say, but I......sit the duck down, none of you have accomplished shite to be proud of.

I don't think the NFL will allow me to embed this, but how many QBs can make this throw at the 2:28 mark?
ClemsonTexan

For me, this is the one stand out play from yesterday's game. This is the type of play that will go completely unappreciated in a losing effort, but it's still impressive as hell. In the first still, Watson evades a blitzer who comes awfully close to a facemask. In the second still, Watson gets smacked while throwing the ball on the run. In the third still, he threads the needle right through the middle of 3 defenders.
This is probably a 9.5/10 on the difficulty scale. First, most QBs would have been sacked by the blitzer, period. Second, most QBs would have been caught by the LB even if they evaded the initial rush. Third, most QBs wouldn't be able to get that much velocity on the pass while getting hit on the move. Fourth, the ball placement is ridiculous. I can't remember how many times I watched Derek Carr and Tua Tagovailoa try to do something similar a couple of days ago with much more disastrous results. What Watson is doing here is not easy. And the craziest part of all is that he's literally doing this all the time.

Isn't it more like Yr 10? J.J. Watt was drafted in 2011 and has nothing to show but a whole bunch of fancy stats compiled in garbage time. He's currently the leader of a defense ranked dead last in the NFL.
OK yr 14 of the lost 2 decades.
Probably changed his name by now, but yes. That's him.

And that one interception wasn’t even his fault. Lol

Portland has won championship's and made the finals. Put Jordan on that Portland team with Clyde and they win multiple championship's.
Great play by #4 .... No doubt about it.
It seems you guys pick out one play every week like this where there's an OL brain fart and act like its an every down issue. That's disingenuous.
This happens to just about every QB in the league once or twice a game ...
They have been reasonably serviceable on the vast majority of (passing) plays.
That TD/INT ratio is spectacular.
I don’t think it’s being intentionally disingenuous. Many times a good play is coming off a blown assignment and it’s highlighted.
