Eh, that's fine. People can disagree.
I think there's a threshhold level of physical tools that any QB has to hit to reach even playable status - Watson clears that fairly easily. In that 'playable to good' tier, it's largely between the ears that decides where you fall.
There's another 'filter' that pops up between good and championship caliber and that requires a greater level of physical tools/arm talent. I don't think Watson clears that bar. So I think it puts his ceiling at 'pretty good' regardless of how good his intangibles are.
To clear that bar without that threshhold level of physical tools is simply a rare enough event as to not be worth projecting; the exception that proves the rule. The Montana Doctrine, so to speak.
