Mahomes had three interceptions in CAMP!!!!
Watson has outperformed but Mahomes was always the better pick from day 1

Hey man, you're preaching to the choir. I never liked Deshaun Watson all that much as a pro QB.
It appears my reservations about his ability to play in the pros were overblown. I'll own that one. But I fought against the notion that HE BEAT TEH ALABAMA HE GOAT was a valid assessment of his ability compared to Mahomes, and that part is absolutely true. Particularly the "clutch" label. Because what do you know... the "clutch" college QB blew a 24-point lead in the playoffs, and the "loser Jay Cutler clone" QB overcame 3 consecutive 10+ point deficits in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl.
