Watson’s a top 5 qb. Do you agree?

You're right, Russell Wilson is a little short.
Agreed. How bad was your post?

Injured Jared Goff > Russell Wilson (according to Texans Talk logic)

Earl how did the great Tannehill do today?

Tannehill doesn't have Duke Johnson, Coutee or Hansen. If Tanny had the weapons DW4 did, he'd have DW4 numbers.

A realization comes to mind making me want to revisit this topic.
There has been a LOT of discussion and back'n forth on whether or not Watson is an Elite level quarterback. A majority of posters here seem to think so, while a small number (that number has grown a little over the last season) think he is good..but not elite.
We can argue all day on the topic, but since Watson started his cryptic tweeting and after all the "trade me" rumors in the news, suddenly Watson is considered Elite in almost everyone's eyes, at least.....trade scenario compensation says he is.
So..I guess it is safe to say we have/had an elite franchise QB on our hands?
I think this has all been a splitting of hairs ..... some having him 5 or higher , others in the 6-8 range.
And because he's younger than a lot of those I have higher than him , he's going to move up the list.
Brady might play another year or two , Brees may retire now , Matt Ryan is getting towards the end as is Roethlisberger and Rodgers is no spring chicken and Russell Wilson is on the wrong side of 30.
There's only 3-4 above average young guys in Mahomes , Watson , Mayfield & Josh Allen.
Guys like Stafford , Cousins , Carr2.0 .... they just never were as good as the first group but aren't terrible.
Watson's in the top 1/3rd and trending upward .... Yeah , his trade value should be very high.

IMO he’s elite, top 5. If the Texans had a complete team I believe those that doesn’t think he is would say he’s elite then. But since we didn’t have a top notch line or no running game, it hurt his production a bit because he had to overcompensate for the lack there of.
Yeah, he's ELITE. . .especially for trade evaluation purposes. . .

I think it is coming on draft day. I think Watson would play for NY, SF, Miami for sure. After that maybe Chi or Car. So, NC is listing the offers and will pick the best the night before the draft. Right now he is making a list of players to get with the picks offered.
Gotta be patient to get the best value.

I know. But that takes away from the bitchin' 'n moaning and complaining about everything the Texans do. Which is all there is to do right now, and they deserve it anyway.
I wonder if Watson gave the Texans a list of acceptable teams. If not, going to be hard to do a draft day deal.

Interesting simple QB comparison tool from Sharp. None of the mumbo-jumbo from the likes of PFF or fantasy football junk, just basic common sense:
Hold the ball too long, bad things happen. And in case you don't know, sacks are mostly a QB stat.
