I think you're too hung up on market size, which wasn't really a significant part of my argument at all.
Watson already has a huge head start on Mahomes in terms of likability. The success in college, the dramatic fashion of his big games, beating Saban, etc. He was a national hero before the draft. Then he went to Houston, won the starting job, and did that shit with hurricane relief. Even more. And then he lit shit up RGIII-style while Mahomes was waiting for Alex to finish dicking around for a year.
If these QBs are both great, guess who more people are going to gravitate towards. Guess who the national media is going to talk about and prefer. Guess who the average stodgy old fart at the local cafe who insists life was better when men didn't grow out their hair so long is going to prefer.
Yes, wins, losses, and awesome playmaking is #1 for me. On the field stuff is #1. I don't need to say that again. But if I could set it up so that the average NFL fan was forced to acknowledge Mahomes as #1? Yes, I would. If I could have my way, would it be okay for media and fans to talk about other QBs just as much as if not more than Mahomes?
The answer is NO. **** no. If I can have it so that Mahomes is the NFL's undisputed #1 star QB and everybody else is just playing along, that's exactly what I want to take place.
At the very least, I ESPECIALLY don't want another QB so highly regarded by fans and media taken two spots after Mahomes in the same draft to receive equal (or greater) spotlight. I NEVER want to see or hear some dipshit Skip Bayless ****tard question if the Chiefs made the right choice or if they should have taken Watson instead. That's what these reeruns and assholes are doing right now, but as soon as Mahomes establishes himself as the superior QB, I for sure want the "Ehhhhh..... I don't know if Andy Reid made the right chooooice..." talk to ****ing END.
I want there to be one universal truth to that 2017 draft-- Mahomes was the best player in the entire draft, and the Texans traded up for Watson because they were desperate when Kansas City beat them out for Mahomes.
Because that IS the ****ing truth.
