billay has already crowned Watson's ass. I guess that means he's a good QB!
Were you a fan of Mark Sanchez in 2009? I forget. Did you also crown his ass after 2 seasons? How about Tim Tebow? When he won a playoff game, did you crown his ass, too?
Keep in mind, I never said Watson couldn't play in the NFL. I said his ceiling was Doug Flutie, who eventually became an okay starter in the league.
Watson is limited like Flutie was. It's possible for him to persevere through those limits, but the end result is still going to be the same. And no, his "winner" instinct will not help him. Far more talented QBs with that same "winner" attitude have come and gone in the NFL, and most of them could never find their stride in the league.
The NFL is a vastly different league than in Flutie's time, so it's not at all a rare thing for a coach like O'Brien to give him chances and work in some of his college play designs into his offense. The key is what happens when teams get film on Watson and he has to adjust?
That "tough it out win the game" mentality ain't gonna do him much good. He's going to have to become a far more accurate QB or he's going to have to find some way to increase his throwing velocity.
