All22 gives a top down view of the section of field that's "in play". You see the pocket and the route runners all at the same time.
You can't see the QB's eyes .... but you can see "which way he's looking".
Circumstances do matter and I've never said that Watson was in some ideal situation - What I am saying is that he contributes to his own problems - particularly with holding the ball so long when there are underneath routes to be had.
He's said himself "I expect to take hits the way I play QB" .... That's holding onto the ball looking for the deeper routes rather than taking advantage of what's open.
Opposing coaches have made similar remarks.
Bottom line is he contributes to his own sack numbers and those are drive killers.
@CloakNNNdagger posted a statistic yesterday about those sacks being more damaging to win rate than interceptions as they occur with greater frequency.
The narrative has been "No One Is Open" - "He has nowhere to throw" - That's far from the truth when you view the All22. The deeper routes that he's got his eyes on aren't open but the vast majority of the time one of those underneath routes or checkdowns is there to be had ...
I was where most of you are a little over a year ago .... I blamed the scheme , the blocking , the route combinations , the playcall ..... Then I sat down with a family member who is an NFL OC while he broke down that All22 film - It was eye opening to say the least.
The narratives around here are false - the blocking is in general adequate , there are guys open , often wide open.
