Oh boy. I do declare the rumors of Watson's demise were greatly exaggerated.
Here's what our beautiful boy out of Clemson is doing through 8 games:
5-3 as a starter, 3 game-winning drives
2389 passing yards, 10th in the NFL
17 passing TD's (tied for 8th with Tom Brady)
7 INT's (tied with Brady and Mahomes)
Passer rating 100.8 (tied for 10th with Cam)
All while being the second most sacked QB in the NFL.
If Mahomes wasn't breaking records, Watson would be the talk of the second year QB town. Imagine passing on two franchise QB's in one draft. Couldn't be me.
