I'm good with one of two things:wab wrote:I don't think Watson makes it out of the top 12. But I have no idea where he goes.
There's no reason if you really think about it... I would have to think Pace and scouts have vetted (vet?) him enough.wab wrote:Having not visited with him gives me pause.
on that note i'm kind of surprised how many people are mocking him to the jags at 4. i just dont see the new regime completely giving up on bortles just like that.wab wrote:I don't think Watson makes it out of the top 12. But I have no idea where he goes.
Not from what I've seen:G08 wrote:Watson has the quickest release in this draft, same exact time as Aaron Rodgers.
Ball velocity comes out about 2mph slower than Kizer/Trubisky.
Mine come from actual games, not the Combine where players are not told to throw the ball as hard as they can.Moriarty wrote:Not from what I've seen:G08 wrote:Watson has the quickest release in this draft, same exact time as Aaron Rodgers.

At the Combine, you're focused on accuracy.
So does a quick release make up for the horrible velocity? I don't believe it does.ysleblanc wrote:G08 wrote:Mine come from actual games, not the Combine where players are not told to throw the ball as hard as they can.Moriarty wrote:Not from what I've seen:G08 wrote:Watson has the quickest release in this draft, same exact time as Aaron Rodgers.

Release to me is as important if not more than arm strength. A quick release gives DB's and LB's less time to react.
Shades of Manning“YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES THAT COME WITH IT. THAT’S HOW I SEE IT,” WATSON RESPONDED. “I TRY TO STAY IN MY LANE. I TRY NOT TO TAKE THE PATH. I RESPECT MITCH AND WHAT HE’S DONE AND ALL THE HYPE HE’S GETTING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, MY RESULT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. I FEEL LIKE I’VE ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING THAT I COULD. I GUESS IF THAT’S WHO THEY’RE GONNA ROLL WITH, SO BE IT.”
Of course being in front of cameras, Watson wasn’t going to say it like that. Nonetheless that’s almost the exact same meaning behind his words. Find any excuse you need to not do it, but don’t cry and moan in five years when I’m leading my team to a Super Bowl. This is the sort of bravado teams want in their quarterbacks, which is why Watson is loved by scouts everywhere. Even in spite of his physical shortcomings. Every NFL team wants a leader under center. Somebody who refuses to accept anything less than the best from teammates and himself. Watson proved he was that guy in college. Are the Bears willing to let him prove it again in the NFL?‘I’LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS THOUGHT: IF YOU TAKE ME, I PROMISE YOU WE WILL WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. IF YOU DON’T, I PROMISE I’LL COME BACK AND KICK YOUR ASS.’
He's just not accurate over 15 yards imo. He was missing guys by yards not feet on the deep throws. Also he's mostly in shotgun which won't fly long term either if the Texans want to establish a run game.UOK wrote:[video][/video]
The most impressive rookie on the field was not even a Texan but everything is Watson Watson Watson. I get he's a QB and has been a media favorite since before the draft. He played well but not well enough for the fawning he is getting. At least that's my opinion.G08 wrote:I watched all his snaps... he looked fucking good. Sailed a couple throws, locked onto one side of the field once, but other than that.... man.
For those that questioned his arm strength, he ripped one 66 fucking yards in the air from release point to landing.
yeah, i think he played middle of the road enough that you can kind of see his performance through the prism of your already established opinion.staleystarch wrote:The most impressive rookie on the field was not even a Texan but everything is Watson Watson Watson.

His arm definitely looked alive.G08 wrote:I watched all his snaps... he looked fucking good. Sailed a couple throws, locked onto one side of the field once, but other than that.... man.

Bill O'Brien is not gonna do him any favors.FaithInCutler wrote:Honestly, I think this kid has bust written all over him. He has made horrible decisions in college and I don't see that changing at the pro level. I LOVED this kid in college and initially wanted us to draft him. Mid-way though last year I started changing my tune. Until he proves that he can transition to the pro game and make good decisions with the football he will only take them as far as Housons next Drafted QB. He has enough pure talent to stick around for a while, but he will never be a top 20 QB IMO. Hope I'm wrong because I have nothing against the guy.
