Watson is good, but the "Alex Smith who's willing to throw downfield" comparisons I heard before the 2017 draft seem pretty accurate. Last edited by Chiefspants; 05-02-2020 at 03:22 PM.. |

I think most Chiefs fans are reasonably satisfied with our first pick in this draft.

We won the draft. We got the best player in the 10 drafts.

I'm not sure who said Watson would bust, but he's been adequate but underwhelming for his draft position. I would argue he's one of the more overrated darlings of the sports media. I'm not sure how much longer this whole "he's just a winner" argument can continue without some sustained playoff success.

TB12, 6 SB wins Joe Montana, 4 Troy Aikman, 3 Peyton Manning, 2 Eli Manning, 2 Bob Griese, 2 Bart Starr, 2 Nick Foles And so on. It's nice to have, but obviously you can be elite without a big arm. Just ask Montana. |

Passing Yards: 3,852 (13th) YPA: 7.8 (12th) AYPA: 7.7 (11th) YPG: 256.8 (11th) Rating: 98.0 (11th) QBR: 68.7 (7th) TD% 5.3 (9th) Touchdowns: 26 (10th) The only stat Watson where Watson is in the Top 5 is Completion percentage. Where he ranked 5th at 67.3%. But we know all about that statistic, as this statistic is the one of the only ones where Alex Smith’s 2016 & 2017 have been superior to Mahomes’ 2018 & 2019. As we’ve seen, Mahomes’ Comp % takes hits because of his willingness to throw it away (over taking the sack) and taking shots down field, while Alex often took the sack. Watson is a good QB. I think the draft take of “Alex Smith with a downfield clutch gene” have been pretty accurate. But the difference between him and a Top 5 is the exact same difference between him and the middle of the pack. If Watson keeps taking so many sacks at this level, I don’t know how long his play will be sustainable anyway. Last edited by Chiefspants; 05-02-2020 at 05:09 PM.. |

2018 Watson Passing Yards: 4,165 (15th) YPA: 8.2 (7th) AYPA: 8.8 (8th) YPG: 260.3 (18th) Rating 103.1 (6th) QBR: 60.7 (15th) TD%: 5.1 (15th) Touchdowns: 26 (12th) His completion percentage was a bit higher at 68.3%, but ranked a bit lower in the class of last year’s quarterbacks, coming in 8th in the NFL. His stats in 2018, while better in some areas, still aren’t at that elite mark to me. He’s Alex Smith who’s not afraid to make throws downfield in clutch time.
