He's a decent qb and I think we'd be happy to have him if not mahomes. But Ive always wondered how he'd look without the DeAndre Hopkins jumpball. Hasn't been great so far. [Reply]

Like Brady without Gronk last year. Not so good. [Reply]
He's a good player but he has a ceiling. He has terrible arm strength, but he makes up for it by manipulating himself in the pocket or outside of the pocket to create a window to throw. He is a playmaker but can find himself making mistakes.
If you make me choose between him or Josh Allen, man I don't really know what I'd do. [Reply]

Yep. Relatively speaking he's always had a noodle arm, so as he ages and slows down/loses arm strength I don't see him remaining competitive well into his 30s. [Reply]

He plays too tentative. He holds the ball too long. I happen to agree with the OP - he's not a top 10 QB. He's young and that's really the only thing desirable about him. [Reply]

He does, but you have to think part of that is coaching and not calling effective plays to help him out. Maybe not having a complete buffoon at coach will help. I hope Bieniemy goes there, because I like the kid (Watson). And I don't really see them as a real threat to Mahomes. [Reply]

Watson's propensity to hold the ball too long has nothing to do with play calling. It's purely Watson's problem. Perhaps it could be coached out of him but it really shouldn't have to be if he's as good as everybody thinks he is. [Reply]

Watson was used to throwing low probability passes and watching Hopkins' exceptional catch radius bail him out.
Watson isn't great and all BOB did was show people that.
Exactly. Watsons always been a fuck it chuck it guy. All the way back to college.

Hopkins is really REALLY fucking good at 50/50 balls.
