What makes Patrick Mahomes better than Deshaun Watson?

Not just better players - which several have already mentioned - but unique players. There really aren't any other players in the NFL quite like Kelce and Hill, which makes scheming a defense to stop them virtually impossible.

And, yes - Andy Reid is awesome. He has limitations as a *head* coach; but in terms of offensive minds, he's one of the best in the entire history of the NFL.

 

crazy part is he’s doing it this year without Hill

 

A better o-line that is all the difference.

 

Looks like Watson is going to be the better QB this week at least.

 

I guess all qb's have stinkers from time to time, even the good ones.

 

LOL....you should head over to Chiefs Planet and see all the b****ing about Andy Reid, his timeout usage, his lack of awareness that his Oline needs help to protect Mahomes (and got him hurt).....lol.

They also want to trade for Trent Williams......lol.

 

Whew. Good thing CF definitely doesn't do any of that, right?

 

Well the real comparisons might be more visible in a few more weeks. The Texans offensive line is starting to gel!!! So right now is not the best time to compare objectively.

Watson has been scrambling because of a weak OL throughout his career, and he’s gotten into bad habits.

But that OL was a beast against the Falcons. And Watson seemed more in control of his emotions and scrambled smarter.

Texans looked real good on offense.

 

True. He ha gotten much smarter with the ball this year. He is using his options so much better.

 

You know why they complain? Because thats a fanbase that want to win a title.

You know why Texans apologists hate people complaining about BOB, because they believe 9-7 is the pinnacle of what a football team should strive to be

 

I completely get the hate for BOB, I don’t think he’s the guy. But complaining after this last game is just annoying.

 

I have and will always support Watson after a good or bad game because I think he's a great QB until he proves otherwise. I have and will dislike BOB after a good or bad game because I think he's a mediocre at best coach with no chance to take this team to the Super Bowl, unless he proves he can improve the way he coaches.

If you just talk badly about a coach after a loss, then essentially his defenders will always have the excuse of saying you're a reactionist and just piling on after a loss. This last win doesn't change how I feel about Watson or BOB compared to last week or last year even.

 

Watson has more heart than maholmes

 

Everything

 

Maybe he does. Maybe he doesn't. That isn't anything you or anyone else can debate.

 

I think we all kind of see that Watson has that “IT” factor. He has that magic that made Elway, Manning, Brady, etc so special.

But we only have a feeling because it’s about winning when you are supposed to, against those elite teams and defenses.

Now we are going to see what this is all about. I said at the beginning of the season, the OL needed 4 games to get some steam going. Hence, I don’t think they are going to be the laughing stock of the NFL Internet trolls any longer. With receivers a plenty, a decent showing at RB, and an ever improving OL, it’s time for Watson to work his magic!!

 

I mean the OL is improving... but it's a little early, imo, to be gung-ho about that unit - or more specifically about that unit combined with Watson's tendency to hold the ball too long.

Most of the positive feel here is based on one week against a horrible defense. Much bigger tests coming up for the team as a whole, but the OL as well.

Still, you are supposed to dominate bad defenses, and they did.

 

Yes I agree, it’s a bit too early to go hog wild, but that was an impressive performance last week. It’s one of those performances that lets you dream of how good they can get!

now let’s sit back and see if they are ready to take their destiny into their own hands.

 

While the Texans oline seems to be trending up the chiefs oline is trending down. Mahomes has shown to struggle with pressure, as against Detroit and Sunday night against the colts they were able to get to him and throw his game off. Deshaun dominates with great oline play, but has shown to put up great numbers even with poor oline play. It’ll be interesting to see if the chiefs line hinders him. Sunday will be a good test.

 

Dont mind me, I'm just passing through....
