Mahomes might be Skip's most hated player in the NFL, actually.
Views him as a threat to his favorites Mayfield, Watson, Brady, etc. Wants to put him in the Aaron Rodgers box, which is a flawed comparison due to the fact Rodgers is an arrogant jerk and Mahomes gets along with his teammates/coaches. [Reply]
If Watson's just "fine" then the state of QB play in the NFL is truly sad.
Who's better? Mahomes and Wilson for sure. Jackson certainly had a better season but if there was a draft right now I'd take Deshaun ahead of Lamar. You could make an argument for Brees and Wentz. That's about it. [Reply]

Wentz? LOL. Carson Wentz? How could anybody argue that he's better than Deshaun Watson? [Reply]

I would take Deshaun over Lamar and Wentz. [Reply]

Compared to Mahomes, Watson is "fine." I'll even upgrade him to "good."

But they're just not in the same tier.
I would agree but saying Watson is just fine or even 'good' is a bit disingenuous.
He's got a couple weaknesses, as do most QBs, but he's really not being placed in a situation that gives him the best chance to succeed. He's got a crap OL, no receivers outside of Hopkins, no TE, no RB (I guess Duke is a pretty good pass catcher) and a shitty defense. [Reply]

Fuller is a good deep threat. Plenty of QB's around the league wish they had Hopkins/Fuller.
I think Deshaun is damn good, but a clear step below Patrick and Russell. Just wish the media would stop treating it like they're equals. They are not. [Reply]
