Because Direckshun doesn't watch the games. He watches highlight videos and reads articles.

Which of these guys has that off-field fire?..Which one will get with his wr's, te's, backs and oline on the sideline if somebody dropped a pass or missed a block?

Which one will talk to the defense and tell em he needs a stop? Which one is an emotional leader? Which one raises the level of those around him instead of needing them to raise his? ...That's what separates a Derek Carr or Tom Brady from the rest of the pack. No more quiet types...no more Alex Smiths. Chiefs need some fire at QB

This is a really nice breakdown of Mahomes. I just don't see him as a first or second day pick and I see more bad than good.

Someone fixes the kids footwork, by and large his biggest issue, look out. He'll learn with more experience the type of things he can't force.

His footwork reminds me of Manzel's. He always throws off his back foot when throwing deep. Even in the clips where he does something well in the article. I think it will scare most off.

Dismissed from Clemson after a squabble with coaches in 2014. Had to go the JC route.

Arrested outside a Buffalo bar after threatening to “get my AK-47 and spray this place” after he was thrown out and subsequently got into an altercation with police upon his arrest (he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a conditional discharge that included community service).

Ran onto the field in Buffalo to fight high school students.

DM'd porn star Mia Khalifa repeatedly, even after she shamed him publicly.

Had his second ACL tear to end his 2016 season.

Posted it in another thread but this belongs here my thoughts on Watson.

I gotta be honest guys I'm a born Alabama fan and what I've seen from Watson last two years was remarkable. I saw two years ago an overmatched Clemson team play toe to toe with one of the best Bama teams of alll time. Watson just kept bringing his team back time and time again. I saw this year a QB play one of the worst halfs of football I've ever seen. I watched him come back with such amazing poise and leadership that I msgd my friends and said Bama is gonna lose because of him.


Now to the detractors yes he overthrew and under threw receivers, but the kid was on the sidelines rallying his team.

Those that have known me over the years know I was screaming for us to take russel Wilson based on what I saw against Bama when he played for NC State. All I heard was he's too short he misses passes etc now look at him.

Gentleman and ladies the combine and tape can show you stats and highlights but the one thing it can't judge is leadership ability and Watson has this. I have no doubt if we got him we would solve our needs. Sorry for long post but felt like I needed to say something bout this subject.

Mayock was on the Ross Tucker podcast and wasn't too enthused with this years QB class.

Says that right now he doesn't see any for sure franchise QB's and he doesn't think any of them are worthy of a top 10 pick.

Mentioned that Browns fans should feel frustrated after passing on Carson Wentz last year because there isn't a QB worth taking at 1 or 12.

Likes some of the tools that Trebisky has, but just can't get over the fact that he was a one year starter who couldn't beat out Marquise Williams.

Said he'd be scared to the death to draft a QB in the top 10 this year.

Also talked about Kizer (highest ceiling), Watson (poor decision making/accuracy), Nate Peterman (some people compare to Cousins, Mayock doesn't know if he's an NFL starter), Mahomes (doesn't play within the offense, gunslinger who's fun to watch)

Mayock's segment starts at 15:08

Let Kizer fall. Let it ****ing happen.

I will take this all day...having a QB who is "fun" to watch.

I want no part of Watson...

He seems like a good kid, but I just have an internal sense that he's going to be rg3 part deaux (meaning he'll have an encouraging rookie season, and then slowly fade away into the what ifs)

But hey, I'm rooting for the kid...

Just not as a chief

Mahomes however; I would be willing to roll the dice with

Every mock I have seen by the top analysts Trubisky, Mahomes and Kizer all go in the top 13.

McShay's recent mock doesn't have Kizer nor Mahomes in round 1. Watson at 2 and Trubisky at 12.

Kiper also only had Watson and Trubisky in round 1 in his first mock back on Jan 19.

Jeremiah has Watson at 10 and Trubisky at 23, no others in round 1.

Brooks has Trubisky at 2 and Watson at 27, no others in round 1.

Zierlein has Trubisky at 2 and Watson at 10, no others in round 1.

Reuter has Watson at 1, Trubisky at 3, and Kizer at 6.

Burke of SI has Watson at 2, Trubisky at 6, Kizer at 12, and Mahomes at 25.

Cherepinsky has Trubisky at 3, Kizer at 10, Watson at 23, and Mahomes at 25.

Rang has Trubisky at 2, Watson at 6, and Kizer at 12.

Brugler has Trubisky at 2, Kizer at 3, and Watson at 10.


I'm not seeing a trend that Mahomes and Kizer are ending up in the top 13....
