Mickey Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 He fits our O perfectly. Athletic, strong, smart and has the heart it takes. Not afraid to take shots and is our best option if we dump Tyrod. Tore up a legendary bama d tonight. Also on a side note lets get Ben Boulware. Love the way he plays the game. Super instinctive. Tear me apart go ahead but I think Watson is our best bet to succeed in the near future. Vince Young II
Mark80 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Is the question: "who is the next Vince young?" Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic leader. Vince Young was lazy and immature when he left Texas. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy.

dave mcbride Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic, leader. Vince Young was lazy and as dumb as a box of rocks. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy. Exactly.
mob16151 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Forget Trubisky, forget Kizer.... DeShaun Watson is the best Quarterback in his draft and it is not even that close. If he is there at 10 (and God knows why he would be) and the Bills pass I will be banging my head against a wall until camp. Kid is legit. That was incredible last night. Oh and where are all the "he's a runner" people today? Cat got their tongue? Bama shut his run game down made him beat them with his arm.... and boy did he? Clemson WR' s got away with murder last night though.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I doubt both Trubisky and Watson go in the top 10, but great if they do because that will push a great WR or S down the board to Buffalo.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I've loved him since last year, and watched him play alot. He can make the throws and sees the field. Intelligent and Athletic. But what I love most about him is his toughness. He is mentally tough in that he doesn't break, he keeps plugging away and breaks through. No way I take Trubisky ahead of him.
Mickey Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic leader. Vince Young was lazy and immature when he left Texas. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy. Like Watson, Young played for one of the best programs in all of college football. Like Watson, Young played for a program that was fielding some of its best teams ever. Like Watson, Young was the critical factor in winning a national championship against a team, USC, that at the time was being heralded as the best team in college football history. Like Watson, Young was tall, athletic, strong, fast and a dual threat quarterback. Sure, there are differences between the two but there are enough similarities to justify a comparison. I don't understand why you feel that the only reason some may have different opinions on whether Watson is worthy of a high pick is racism.
Chuck Wagon Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic leader. Vince Young was lazy and immature when he left Texas. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy. Someone had to say it. It seems when it comes to a kid like Watson a significant portion just sees "black spread offense QB" and writes him off. I've seen comparisons and critiques of him on this board where it's very clear the people making them have not actually watched him play. I've been saying all along he's the guy I want, but I hope he likes Lebron and Cleveland now (though the moneyball guys may think they are outsmarting the room again and trade him). There's no way he gets passed all the QB desperate teams at the top of the draft. Pro style college offenses are dinosaurs. There's a few left like Stanford, Michigan and Bama being high profile ones, but otherwise smart coaches have realized the impact athletes can have at the QB position and the stress spacing the field places on defenses. If people solely want to draft a QB who played in a "pro system" the available pool of players is extremely small and one NFL starting QB under the age of 30 (Luck) came through that type of pipeline.
Southern Bills Fan Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Where? Deshaun Watson*, QB, Clemson Height: 6-2. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.60. Projected Round (2017): 1-4. 1/9/17: I surveyed teams around the league to see where their initial draft grades were for Watson. Two playoff teams told me they had third-round grades on Watson. One said it was on the low end as a third- to fourth-rounder. Another playoff team told Walt that they had a third-round grade on Watson. Two other teams said they had second-round grades on Watson. Another team thought that Watson still could be a late first-round quarterback, similar to Teddy Bridgewater, because of the dire need at the position across the NFL. In this draft analyst's opinion, I would grade Watson as a third-round pick for the 2017 NFL Draft. Watson has been off with his accuracy this year, displaying poor ball placement, especially when going downfield. He has missed a lot of potential touchdowns as a result. Watson's performance against Louisville confirmed the accuracy and ball-placement problems we've seen all season. He hasn't dominated, and his play is not that of a top quarterback prospect. All of this illustrates that Watson still has room for improvement with his field vision, ball placement, and accuracy. He did finish the regular season playing better, but that doesn't make up for the struggles in the first two-thirds of the season. Also, Watson is undersized compared to your average NFL starting quarterback. On top of that, he plays in a college spread offense that doesn't correlate well to the NFL. Thus, he's going to need to learn working under center, operating the huddle, footwork, and not being a running quarterback. There is no doubt that Watson has great intangibles as a hard worker with good character off the field and leadership in the locker room. So far in 2016, Watson has completed 67 percent of his passes for 4,173 yards with 38 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. He has eight rushing touchdowns as well. 7/29/16: Watson played really well to lead Clemson to the National Championship game, and in that title tilt, he threw for over 400 yards and four touchdowns against an Alabama defense that featured tons of future NFL talent. Watson completed 68 percent of his passes in 2015 for 4,104 yards with 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. On the ground, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,105 yards with 12 scores. Watson has a decent arm, excellent athleticism, and can show some superb accuracy. However, he is undersized and doesn't play in a pro-style offense. His numbers are vastly inflated by his college offense. Operating under center will be one thing for him to learn. Watson also has to improve his field vision. He flashes good field vision to work through his progressions on some plays, but he is inconsistent and he can also look to run too soon. Watson won't be able to run as much in the NFL and he needs to get faster at working through his progressions. His pocket-passing process has to get quicker as well. This is from WalterFootball.com.

filthymcnasty08 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 This would make 5 #1 picks to Clemson since 09 for those of you scoring at home.
auburnbillsbacker Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Watson is unattainable so he cannot be the answer the Bills QB problem, assuming you think the Bills have a QB problem. Edited January 10, 2017 by auburnbillsbacker
Blokestradamus Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Deshaun Watson*, QB, Clemson Height: 6-2. Weight: 205. Projected 40 Time: 4.60. Projected Round (2017): 1-4. Why are you still reading Walter Football?
BuffaloMatt Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 He is the answer, to the question: Which system quarterback will be way over drafted, started too early and fizzle out as a bust from this years draft? Exactly!
BuffaloRebound Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Might sound crazy, but I think we win 10 games with Watson as our QB this past year. I do see similarities to Tyrod, but being able to run a 2 minute offense and score at the end of games is what separates the 2.
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I'm just not feeling Watson. At this time I would rather have Mitch or the kid from TX Tech. Let's go Buffalo!!!!!
Southern Bills Fan Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Why are you still reading Walter Football? Yea, your probably right. I should only read things that fit my narrative. Edited January 10, 2017 by Southern Bills Fan
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 I think Watson will be available at 10. Long time until the draft... QBs value typically just goes up. Cle, SF, Jax, NYJ, and CHI all need QBs... there's a pretty decent chance that 3 come off the board before 10. If that happens you almost have to go BPA.
Blokestradamus Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Yea, your probably right. I should only read things that fit my narrative. You should probably read things that aren't the ramblings of an idiot. You want to stay ignorant, that's fine, be my guest.
aristocrat Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 vince young has like 4000 college passing yards total in 2 years. watson did that both years and rushed for yards so i fail to see comparisons
