Hyde had a 1000 yard season, so saying he doesn't have a RB is inaccurate.
He didn't have the kid from Texas Tech, Keke Coutee, who was a great 2nd/3rd option, and Fuller was coming off of a concussion.
I think that CP tears Watson down more than he deserves. I think it's a reflex from a time, before Mahomes, where we needed to tear other QBs down, so we didn't feel so badly about ours.
He is absolutely not as good as Mahomes. But honestly, who is?
I think if we had drafted Watson, we would be very happy with him. Watson didn't come to the Chiefs, Mahomes did. If it was swapped, Mahomes probably wouldn't be quite this good, and Watson would probably be a little better than he is now.
But, IDGAF about any other QB in this league. My team finally has an MVP QB, and the best QB in the NFL. And we deserve it.
