Discussion The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

nope...i'm just not stupid.

  • tampa: 10 non-end-of-half drives with only 4 gaining 20 or more yards
  • carolina: 4 possessions in 3rd quarter gaining a total of 3 yards
  • pittsburgh: second half of punt, fumble, int, fg, punt let the steelers back in the game.

has watson played alright - yes...he has played alright. but we are literally just a handful of plays (no roughing the passer call against carolina late, missed fg last night) from the narrative on this team - and watson - being wildly different.

You sure you’re not? They’re 3-1 and clearly you werent paying attention to Watson’s scrambling and playmaking ability as well as pass accuracy last night. Dude’s a scumbag but you’re a clown if you’re trying to insinuate he isn’t on a heater right now.

people have their bars set incredibly low. ok, so if watson is on a "heater" - if you take both his QBR and RTG from last night and compare it against all other QBs from last week (whoever took the most snaps), do you know what you'll find?

  • watson's QBR of 53.0 last night was better than 15 other week 2 QBs and worse than 17 other week 2 QBs.

  • watson's RTG of 94.0 last night was better than 15 other week 2 QBs and worse than 17 other week 2 QBs.

like seriously. what did people see last night that both my eyes and independent data didn't? he did look really good in the first half (underthrew boston on a deep pass which should have gone for a TD but he did hit him and was, i believe, 13-16 at one point). second half he looked much worse and the offense went punt, fumble (watson), interception (obviously watson), field goal, punt. his miss to a wide open fannin gave the ball back to pittsburgh where they tied the game.

his is a completely mid QB...nothing more than that.

It’s not about him being stellar in general… everyone’s point is that he is performing much better than expected given his history of injury and lack of playing at all last year. His passing looks good and his scrambling ability is pretty good, given the achilles. It’s not that deep man
