    Been a while since I posted,

    As weird as it is to say, the fact that he's making mistakes/some bad throws has me ALOT more comfortable with him than if he were being perfect.

    He's naturally accurate, and the only time his "lack of arm strength" is an issue is when his feet haven't been fully set. He's been the most pressured QB in the league and still doing very well.

    I'm pretty sold at Watson at this point. It's hard to make predictions in the NFL given injuries and success being so reliant on teammates, but it seems very likely he can be a constant top 5-10 QB year in and year out. I just wish I can be as optimistic of the front office/coaches in taking advantage of his prime years and get something out of it.

    It wasn't bad or messy at all. She said people think they are dating. They aren't, she was on a date in that infamous video. Her friend saw Deshaun in Austin alone and she invited him to hang out with her and friends. That was it. She called Deshaun a sweet kid.

    Hue Jackson lying his ass off lol. There would be no reason for DW4 to lie and say he received a text from the freaking browns on draft day. Cmon man.

    Basically, he wanted Deshaun but management wanted to go a different direction.

    Deshaun never said he received a text that said "we're going to pick you". He said the text said something like "Be ready. Anything can happen". Based on the fact that Watson also said that he and Jackson built a relationship, that doesn't seem surprising that he was just wishing the kid well.

    here is a fun fancy pants stat. I didn't know nfl.com had this feature,
    Watson leads the league in TTE time to throw eggball @3.1 seconds. Considering any good DE is always breathing near him, that is phenomenal. It's all him being able to extend. For comparison, Baby carr is @2.17 seconds, eli @2.54
    That time combined with knowing what you're doing out there is going to result in big time throws.

    Not sure what you mean about not feeling optimistic of the front office taking advantage of Watson's prime years.

    For the past couple of seasons, Texans have been one of the most complete teams outside of the qb position.

    Besides, Texans have found their franchise qb. The hard part is done, now all they need to do is fill in the gaps in the oline and defense.

    What's funniest about this, is some of y'all fools paid $200 for this [​IMG]
