Well, here's two things: Arians is great friends with Watson's Clemson coach, Dabo Swinney (stemming back to Arians 1-year stint as Alabama's OC in 1997) and Watson spent the offseason working out with Carson Palmer's brother Jordan. There's also been a ton of smoke since early February about the Cards wanting to get this kid. You could also consider his recent off-the-cuff comments about how he likes how Arizona's uniforms look on him in Madden if you're into that kind of shit.
On the flip side, I do agree that he doesn't seem to fit the traditional Arians QB profile that well. That being said, what exactly is his profile? He's kind of been spoon fed some good QBs over the years in Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck, and Carson Palmer. The only one he had significant input on bringing in was Palmer.
