Watson has about 500 more passing yards than Mahomes
I'm not saying it means anything. i'm just saying I bothered to look it up just now lol. Stats are fun |

In this pass happy era, I don’t think the raw stats will show much difference. Where it really shows up is 3rd down conversion percentage, especially 3rd and Long conversion percentage. This is where Mahomes really shines for his career.

Yeah, I don't think he's out of the top 10.
Losing your go-to guy in all situations hurts a lot. That O-line is NOT all that good no matter how you spin it. They are the 3rd worst rushing team in the league. Will Fuller and Brandon Cooks are inconsistent receivers and so is Fells at TE. Just a world of inconsistency and subpar play around him, and that reflects in his play. He has his shortcomings but I'd still take him over a whole bunch of QBs in the NFL. Guys I can't put him over: Mahomes Rodgers Wilson Brees Guys I think he's pretty much on par with: Brady Allen Burrow Prescott Murray Goff Tannehill Allen Roethlisberger I'd put him above the rest for sure. If I were starting a team today and had to pick from that 2nd list, the only guy I'd take over him is Burrow. |

Raw stats are extremely misleading in basically any sport. Personally, i couldn't give two ****s about how many yards or TDs Mahomes, or any QB really, throws for as long as he directs the offense and comes up when it matters most. Like the Super Bowl. His raw numbers weren't very good but he won the game by coming up big when it mattered, and in the end that's really what we care about.

In fact, that's the main reason he's getting the benefit of the doubt here. |

I don't think team stats like scoring in the 1st quarter and shit like that much apply to Watson's skill or stating he sucks. That's the whole offense failing to produce. He can't make receivers get open, make his line block, make his running backs not run into the back of their linemen for 2 yards and a cloud of dust. |

A good to above average QB can be great with all the pieces around him.
Deshawn Watson should be better than what he is. I blame the fiasco that is the Texans for suppressing his talent |

We may have to agree to disagree on the pocket presence and arm strength. He has occasional lapses in accuracy but overall I don't think it's bad at all. Holding the ball too long, I see that primarily when his receivers can't get an ounce of separation. Sometimes he needs to just toss it away and live for the next down.
