Watson isn't a bust. Period. He's pretty good.
He's still in another tier below Mahomes, but there aren't a lot of guys who stand equal to Patrick in terms of ability.

C'mon dude. Nobody is saying he's bad.
We're saying everybody (media, fans) blows too much smoke up his ass.
He doesn't deserve that much smoke up his ass. When you're a pro, you don't deserve smoke up your ass because you beat Alabama in college. Guess what that gets you in the pros? Nothing. Absolutely ****ing nothing. Winning games with loaded college teams gets you nothing in the pros.
He's 8-6 as a starter in the NFL. That's not bad at all, but if you're going to compare him to Mahomes, you don't get to say, "I like Deshaun better because he's a winner!" 8-6 isn't "winner" territory. If you've got some super secret that only you know about regarding the key to winning football games ("he's got IT," "he knows how to win!") then you should be better than 8-6 with several of those losses being close ones.
You don't get smoke up your ass for that stuff. If it gets blown up there anyway, then you're full of hot air. And that makes you completely warranted for a hating, in my opinion.
