I would normally want the backup QB to come in at this point...but Watson should still get some XP out there. He looks great and the game is won, but he needs more reps...I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.
Not just that, look at how he's done it, he had 300 yards against the Pats and now 261 with a 121.7 QB rating vs the Titans, that makes it more impressive.
Especially from a QB that some were saying couldn't throw. Not too bad today from Watson. OB may have his guy.
To be fair, everyone, this is his quote: "Like as a person? I like him just fine, he seems to be another Texans pick who is a "good guy", I'm just worried about him not being a good NFL caliber QB due to the shortcomings in his game when it comes to pass velocity, pass accuracy, and inability to read defenses. I'm pulling for him though no different than I was for Osweiler, or Hoyer, or Mallett, or FItz, or Schaub." If BTG said he KNEW he would be a failure, then we'd have reason to get on his case. He simply stated he was CONCERNED about whether Watson would be successful. Look, we sometimes have plenty of reason to give him a hard time, but let's not use that as an excuse to attack everything. Let's be fair. (OK, I just defended BTG- I need a shot of tequila).
For sure, he's made multiple giant leaps forward. I wouldn't have thought he would look this good till next season at the soonest given how bad he looked and how much he seemingly needed to learn in the pre-season and even in his first appearance in the regular season. He went from those bad footwork passes being the norm to where now they are the exception and he did it ridiculously quickly.
Mercilus, Watt, and Clowney have combined for 0 TFL's, 0 Sacks, and 1 tackle. It's safe to say that the front 7 has been underwhelming.
I'm pretty sure Watson just threw that at a guy just because it was an all but guaranteed PI. Brilliant, now get him outta there after this drive.
Be a good fight if Watson keeps this **** up. Co-rookie of the years? Not sure if it's possible but they've had co-mvps so.......... why not?
