Your answers often come across as someone that just started watching football, which I assume are crafted to conform to your obvious bias. It is quite amusing.
I realize what the primary difference between us is with regards to Watson:
You have an affirmative believe system - i.e. blind faith - that he's always going to be mediocre (or worse). You believe it so much that you basically proselytize about it, appearing to be a football prophet predicting the future, and it very much becomes akin to your own quasi-football-religion. You are so convinced of your perspective that you seem to evangelize it in order to attract (and convince) fellow Watson-doubting believers.
I am, on the other hand, a football agnostic. I don't have a problem with saying "I don't know". I see the potential in Watson, but I do not pretend to have conclusive proof that he will (or will not) succeed in the NFL. He could bust out, or he could be a HoF, or somewhere in between. I simply don't know until it is history.
I don't think that's the case .... (other than having to wait for history to happen).
I can understand where he's coming from sharing his position to some degree.
It isn't a very popular position keeping one on the defensive about it while many fans chastise you for it , looking for every reason to blame someone else - the head coach , the play caller , the blocking , the pass catchers .... the Water Boy , always some excuse / deflection despite video and statistical evidence to the contrary.
.
Watson hasn't posted a game this year with a QBR over 60 and his last outing was a dismal 37.9 ... This is a statistical analysis of his impact on each play / game by an independent outlet. No bias in the numbers and takes into account play calling , down and distance as well as blocking , strength of opposing defense and game situations.
Watson's QBR for the season is 57.3 and PAA (Points against average replacement) is 1.1 .... Ryan Fitzpatrick is 75.1 & 15.3 for a scrubby 1-3 Miami team.
Watson hasn't had a single season where he was sacked on fewer than 8.8% of plays.
The lowest being last season 44/495 (8.88%) and this season is his highest % yet at 12.27% of passing plays ending in a sack.
We've all blamed the blocking in the past but ... the more I've broken down the all 22 , the more apparent it is that blocking isn't the problem on the vast majority of plays (yes there are outliers) - Its Watson holding the ball too long - Even opposing coaches have made statements to this effect (Harbaugh).
Mahomes has never had a season higher than 4.4% of passing plays ending in a sack.
Brees averages 4% for his career. Brady 4.98% for his career.
We keep blaming the blocking but no matter who's doing it , the results are similar.
Some blame the system - No One's Open! - but we've shown time and again video evidence to the contrary.
I'll be the first to admit , he has a lot of potential simply based off of athleticism. He's going to make his share of big plays but there's more than that to playing the QB position and his best attribute is also his worst enemy and teams have figured out how to use it against him and he hasn't made the adjustment. Until he does , we can expect more of the same - boom or bust - a big play here and there but otherwise consistent in negative plays and stalled drives giving the ball back to the opposition - That's not winning football.
Michael Vick .... that's who I compare him to. Exciting as hell to watch ....
