    He works hard, but what about his arm and accuracy?

    A rookie for the CFL Edmonton Eskimos or a rookie for the NFL Houston Oilers? Pancakes so sneaky.

    I predict Deshaun Watson will have his first start in week 4 against the Titans. After Tom Savage gets beat up by the Bengals and Patriots. The Patriots game is going to be a massacre for Tom Savage and the Texans. Tommy will get hurt, will miss a few weeks, then Watson will replace him in Week 4. Book it baby!

    The quote isn't extremely encouraging because of the list of rookies... it's exetremely encouraging because OB NEVER praises rookies like this. This is out of the norm of his typical coach speak and it's great to hear.

    That was different praise. Brock, Fitz, Hoyer, etc. were all guys that OB praised by saying "he works hard, good teammate". He is praising Deshaun in regards to his actual football skill.

    I am looking forward to seeing DW in the preseason games. In game conditions, he takes his game to another level.

    I trust his word. He keeps it real. I know he comes on 790 .... vs 610 **** but honestly the hype around Deshaun is a little too overblown. He is what a 1st round pick should be. Hardworking, skills way more ahead of your 4-7th round qbs. He has a lot to learn.

    O'Brian "I think it goes back and forth. Defense get us sometimes and offense get them sometime and it's just not defense that is dominating"

    WOW high praise coming from OB on Watson going back and forth against supposedly top rated defense in the league behind JJ Watt and Clowney....:D
