    One major area I believe where Watson is way above Mahomes is LEADERSHIP.

    He showed how smart he is for trading up to snag Mahomes.

    I wouldn't say the qb difference is that dramatic. Watson is a proven winner/leader (not everyone could beat Alamaba). Mahomes has a better arm. Both have the it factor or clutch where they can make magic appear when it really matters.

    Watson is hinder and held by an inferior coach, and oline. U don't need a godlike qb to win it all, u just need a complete team. We r lacking that, especially at secondary.

    Don’t matter I’m happy Rick gave us DW4. A franchise qb finally for this team.

    Mahomes is much quicker on his reads.

    He makes the craziest most accurate bullets I've ever seen. The guy has a gun for an arm and it's accurate as ****.

    Well today is probably not the day to argue that Watson is on the same level as Mahomes.

    Watson isn’t on Mahomes level, but many valid points have been brought up as to why

    Is Mahomes as good as he is if he’s on this Texans squad with this coaching staff? Absolutely not

    If Watson is in Mahomes situation, there’s no way he’s worse than he is right now.

    Mahomes is set up to succeed...Watson succeeds despite his circumstances...he is Harden under McHale or Bickerstaff, he needs his MDA

    Watch the chiefs and lions game. Mahomes reads fast, rarely gets sacked and if he is about to get sacked he runs for a 1st down.

    Watson has been really hesitant to run, don't know what that's about, maybe his body is feeling it. There was a play earlier where the lane was right there for maybe at least an easy 5 yards running (and who knows how more once he gets going) but nope, just threw it to the left for a check down that got nothing.

    WOW. Bailing on Deshaun too. I guess you y'all have a short memory? Let's bring back Brock, Hoyer, Mallett, and company!

    Omg, dude, honestly I like most of your takes, but this is horrible...Watson missed a lot of open receivers today, held on to the ball (way too long as usual), and made bad throws to covered receivers...BOB ain’t a good coach...but when guys were open he effed up...a lot.

    Comparing Watson to Mahomes is idiotic. He may be the best QB this team has ever had but he's not Mahomes level.

    People are comparing our starting QB to the defending MVP. Obviously Watson is better than those 3 you mentioned.

    Watson wasn’t good today, no doubt, but in general he is not set up to succeed with this O-line and coaching staff. U seriously disagree on that? Do u think Mahomes would be as good as he is if he was a Texan this whole time? Hell nah. Mahomes is obviously better, and Watson clearly has his flaws, but he is not being done any favors. Saying that BOB ain’t a good coach is putting it very lightly.
