I think the divide came in when people were advocating for Savage to start over Watson. I know I was a proponent because OB seemed to be a dead man walking, the offensive line was in shambles and didn’t want him to get hurt, not to get David Carr’d by getting sacked, and to get the Aaron Rodgers treatment of being able to study and learn the NFL instead of being thrown into the fire.
(Which, BTW, the sacks have taken a tool on him and he ended up getting hurt from a weals line.)
However, there was/is this extremist Watson fan club that didn’t like, and still don’t like, anything to be said that isn’t making him #jesusincleats.
Like I said in another post, 99% of this board is OK with Watson staying and OB going.
