I admit I was very down on Watson and was blown away by what he was able to do as a rookie. Having said that, my memory does indeed go back to RG3, who I thought was going to be Mike Vick with a brain.
I loved RG3, and watched as he was systematically dismantled by NFL defenses. It started with punishing him for running and then it broke him down mentally.
The thing that I notice about Watson in those highlights is that he keeps his eyes downfield and he is very decisive with the ball. When he sees the receiver he wants, he lets it fly. I think that Watson could be special, but if injuries pile up (and they are) it could derail an otherwise awesome career. This year is going to be huge for him. Will defenses figure him out or not?
The only thing that I know is watching those highlights made me feel cold. Sunday mornings. Bloody Mary's. Breakfast nachos. I seriously just started jonesing for fall, and it's not even summer.
