Again, the Texans were AWFUL this year. And that was WITH Watson playing elite most of the year (check his final numbers for the season). If he couldn't help the dysfunctional Texans win more than 4 games this year, how is he taking 5 win Denver to 'elite' status immediately??
The answer is simple.
He's not.

The Texans' boat was broken, though. That ship was taking on water with BOB and Romeo Crennel, that was not some league-average situation.
The Broncos are probably a league-average situation dragged down by garbage quarterbacking.
If you put Watson on the 2020 Broncos, that team probably does go to the playoffs and pushes the Bills. I'd put them on par with the Ravens.
That means I probably take the 2020 Chiefs over them 9 times out of 10, because we are that good. But that's still a damn good team that isn't too far away from AFCCG level talent.
Von Miller, of course, is the wild card.
