My thought is that if you want to gamble on a guy who makes poor decisions, I like Mahomes up-side much more.

i'm not a big bill o'brien fan, but it's neat how he was like "tom savage has earned the right to start for us" and then like half a game later he was like "nope."
hey, and now the texans are world beaters!

i wish there was some direct parallel between their situation and ours, but i got nothing.

I saw him play a lot in college and knew he was legit ... him leading the win over the Alabama Saban's sealed it for me

I am happy he is doing well, unhappy it isn't for the Bears

Interesting to see how his career goes compared to Trubisky. Given what we gave up for him with one of him or Watson guaranteed at #3 Pace did stick his neck out quite a bit.

Of course comparing QBs across teams/systems/situations is a fool's errand but since we'll end up doing it anyway.

I said during the draft that I think Watson will be better sooner, but probably won't have as long/consistent of a career as Trubs.
