Watson is a good QB and would have been a stud in KC. The kid is just a winner. On that note Mahomes is even better and I am glad KC picked the right QB. [Reply]

Watson has never been a loser in his life. Ever. He's won everywhere he's gone. He continues to make great decisions and plays. Today is just another example. The kid is a gamer. He doesn't have as much arm talent as Mahomes or guys like Allen but he is a great decision maker and leader. [Reply]

Got no problem with that. Deshaun is a very good player. But you started this thread asking if the Chiefs should have drafted Watson instead of Mahomes. I think the answer is NOPE. [Reply]

I will say this. Mahomes had a distinct advantage of being able to sit on year behind a veteran in Alex Smith and be in the QB friendly offense of Andy Reid.
The gap between Mahomes and Watson is probably less than most of you think, but it is still large. If Watson was in our offense, he would be very efficient as well. He would have never thrown 50 TDs, but he would be very lethal. [Reply]

He keeps running, he'll be on borrowed time, just like LJ. One time of being bent over backwards, and neither will be the same, and I think everyone knows it. [Reply]

Mahomes has had his share of injury trouble. But he's a better pure passer than either of those guys. So all else being equal in terms of health, I'll take the better pure passer at QB for the next 15 years. [Reply]
