Deshaun Watson Combine Review

[countryroads316]

Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson, Jr, 6-2, 221, 4.66

Just as he did against Alabama in each of the past two national championship games, Watson shined under the bright lights of Indianapolis, showing surprising polish in the five- and seven-step drop throws that he rarely (if ever) attempted at Clemson. He was the most accurate passer at the combine, which was a surprise for a quarterback who threw an FBS-high 30 combined interceptions over the past two seasons. Watson remains a polarizing prospect but his dual-threat talents and poise under pressure are undeniable.

Charley Casserly just gave a best case/worst case on Watson

Best case.. .Dak Prescott
Worst case.. RG3

Thats a big fat I hope to fuck we pass on this kid period.

RG3 couldn't hold his jock strap Watson is a hell of a lot better passer

Maybe... but he fits our offense like a square peg in a triangle shaped hole.

 

[Sharkinva]

We dont need another mobile spread offense one read QB with a history of ACL injury... Just fucking NO!!

Rg3 blows him out of the water as a prospect

 

[ehb5]

Watson also only threw 49 mph at the combine which is apparently very concerning.

Watson/rg3 comps are just lazy.

 

[gkekoa]

Watson and RG3 are both black so we have to compare them. I am totally kidding...other than being black, I see no comparison.;

 

[Ruzious]

Agreed - Gruden likes pure drop-back passers, and that would likely take a good while for Watson to learn. Besides, I think he's going to be gone before the Skins pick.

Sorry, disagree. Both come from a spread one read offense, they are of similar build and as mentioned, I think we need to stay away from another mobile QB with a history of blown ACLs. Add in that his skill set is a poor fit for our offense, and I for one would be concerned if we drafted this guy.

No doubt. If Watson was viewed as better than RG3 (prior to draft - not now) then he would be a sure thing #1 overall draft pick since I don't think there are any Andrew Lucks in this draft.

 

[Ruzious]

RG3 ran in the 4.4's when he was coming out - probably faster than any of the RB's. Watson's probably in the 4.6's - which is really good - but not at RG3's level.

Id be concerned if we draft him too but they arent all that similar.

Agreed, however since it's been mentioned in jest, they ARE, both black. you know that "they're all alike" comparison that just tickles the shit out of us! (Just Kidding.)

They are just numbers. .... and dame few for McCarron.

 

[Stymietee]

It's a comparison, that's what the thread is all about. McCarron compares far more favorably to Cousins than anyone in this draft. Again, pick.....pick.....pick. You and @Shark planning to attend the birth as well?

 

[Sportster 72]

I just used your line. They are just numbers. Wrong context? Different person using it? Doesn't agree with your point of view? I'm lost, I basically quoted YOU.

 

[Stymietee]

You didn't quote me you quoted shark, he used numbers, all I said was, means nothing in fact here's my exact quote: "Means NOTHING....because of something that we can all agree to.....Kirk has numbers, no doubt about that!" Notice anything? I'm agreeing with him that Kirk has numbers.

Again, please don't get loss by jumping into a conversation without reading what's preceded it. Context matters!

 

[Sportster 72]

I wasn't lost, you know what you said and although I did not give your exact quote I had the essence of it. No worries. I think every person has the right to be wrong. I mean have a different opinion. It is still funny that I saw shark's post and was going to make one in jest about those who always straighten us emotional guys out. You beat me to it. You have to love it.
