painting me into a corner in front all my friends. Not cool man, not cool.
Seriously though, after that conversation I started digging into Watson a little deeper. Depending on where you get your information (again, not specifically you) his height/ weight is anywhere from 15 lbs lighter to the same weight. So I have no doubt he actually is the size as Dak. Can he hold up? I mean, did RG3? Neither is rail thin. Im not nearly as worried bout his size as I was.
Here is my problem with guys like Watson and Prescott (and I do believe I was the first one talking about Dak a couple of years ago already so its not like I didn't like the guy. I believe one of my comments is give me a tough, leader like him and I'd be thrilled), my problem is the simple offenses they come from and their lack of accuracy. I was not a fan of Goffs simple offense either. Although I did like his arm talent more. Its actually a problem I have with all these college HuNH offenses or raid offenses or Read option offenses. QBs are just not developed to be pros. They are developed to run a simple offense to win games for a college coach so he can keep his job. I want the hashes tighened up and all OL to have their hands in the dirt at the snap in College football. Discussion for another day.
I said last year Prescott was a 3rd rounder and I was right. This year I am leaning towards putting Watson somewhere in the 2nd round. I still want to see him throw at the combine. I do think he will be the 2nd or 3rd QB drafted in a QB class that is hot garbage.
I think it goes Trubisky first (with all of 1 year starting) Accurate, decent size and made good decisions. So he seems coachable.
Next would be Kizer, he flashes everything a QB needs, and has good size for the position. He just never put it all together.
After that is Watson. He will go in the 1st as well. its a QB driven league. Of those 3 guys, Trubisky and Watson seem like the least likely to bust. Watson seems (again, I'm a hack from ND with no personal knowledge of any of these guys) like he is ultra competitive and a fierce leader. Those guys usually refuse to fail.
Here is the big question: Can Watson's head process all the information he is given and use it on the field. Or does he get paralyzed by information overload like Goff did?
And FYI, no QB coming out of Alabama is any good. Ever.
And since I have your attn, why would the Rams get a WR coach from a LA school that never really developed a WR, if thats how they wanted to go, why not Tee Martin, the other WR coach in LA, the guy that actually developed someone.
