I don't have doubts about his ability. I do have doubts about anyone who expresses support for obviously failed coaching like this. And I have my worries about him getting David Carr'ed----psychologically ruined to the point of being irreparable.
You've got to be more objective here -
I'm by no means saying OB isn't part of the problem.
What I am saying is that I'm not certain that Watson isn't part of the problem too.
We see the same things just about every game , regardless of opponent - sputtering drives or a big play or two that leads to a score - Very seldom do we see a sustained drive. Its big plays or bust.
Why is that ? Is it OB , is it Watson …. is it both ? I'm not really sure at this point other than saying OB is a big part of that but Watson isn't without question either. There are a lot of flaws to his game - holding the ball too long is one of those , missing open guys on a routine basis is another - this is quite obvious watching the All 22.
You go back and look at how Tenn , Buffalo , TB , and Denver played Watson - its almost a carbon copy aside from minor details - they all dropped 7 and dared Watson to pick them apart.
Some of those games they made enough big plays to win , others they didn't. What we didn't see with any consistency is sustained drives. Its starting to look like Famis Jamis in Tampa Bay minus the INT's.
A big play or a busted drive.
I'm not yet blaming Watson , I'm just not exonerating him …. I want to see him with another coach in another offense. If we see the same results with a new coach / system …. then the likely answer is Watson is more of the problem than we realize. If that turns out to be the case , do you really want to hand him 15%+ of the cap ?
