It's getting real frustrating to see other teams able to get more out of their young QB than our team. Watson has it in him to be top 5 easily but is lacking the consistency needed to stay top 5. Is it coaching? Because that feels like the difference between him and his contemporaries. I can't think of one QB who's producing well with a mediocre or bad HC.
Even in a down year Brady has Bellicheck
Goff who's not great has McVay
Mitch who sucks has Nagy
Mahomes has Reid
Lamar had Harbaugh
Josh Allen has McDermott who had him looking competitive and I think Josh has limitations
Reich had Brissett look good at times
Vrabel has Tannihill balling
Russ has Pete Carrol
Jimmy G has Shannahan
Kirk had Zimmer
I think they're all better HC than Bill except maybe Vrabrel...who I'm not sure what to make of him yet
With that said, I'm an objective person and DW isn't saved from criticism, no one is. Having a quarter of his games this season be bad games is concerning. While I have faith he'll improve, I think there's a ceiling with the staff around him. He can be accurate, dynamic and a game changer or he can hold the ball too long and take hits/sacks he doesn't need too. He may be the type you take the good with the bad on. Who knows, overall I still like him year 3
Deshaun Watson has...Bill O'Brien
Matt Stafford has Matt Patricia so he's probably the only solid QB with a bad HC I can think of
