H2o Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I see these all of the time. It's completely laughable if you have actually seen the two play. Watson is a QB who is athletically gifted enough to run if necessary and put up huge numbers doing so in college. But first and foremost, Deshaun Watson is a QB. If you never watched him in college there are two games you should see, both games versus Alabama in the BCS Championship. Alabama has defenses chocked full of NFL talent and Watson was outstanding two years in a row on the grandest of stages. For your viewing pleasure you can find videos below. I couldn't find the complete 2017 Championship game, but you will see him dissecting that defense in the highlights. He did the same thing the first game though his team came up short. Jackson can only have dreams of throwing the football like that, especially against a Nick Saban coached Alabama defense. So you all can talk throw velocity, they both can run, blah, blah, blah, all you would like. The fact of the matter is that Watson is on a completely different level throwing the football than Lamar Jackson. To compare the two is like comparing cubic zirconia to diamonds. They may have some similarities that you can try to peg, but when you put the two side by side one is clearly better than the other. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanbillsfan2206 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 They are both quarterbacks so they are in fact comparable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not a fan of Jackson but I see him as a similar player to Watson. Not as good of a passer but my favorite quality of Jackson is his ability to throw the seam route. By far his best pass... Charles Clay would be able to thrive with a QB like Jackson throwing that seam route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenInLight Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Personally I don't think Jackson has the arm to throw in New Era Field once the weather turns. The way our stadium is designed any wind is amplified in the bowl. You need a guy with a bigger arm to throw accurately through the wind. Just like you need a strong kicker to get the field goals. There is a reason why there are so many ducks thrown in our stadium, and why so many Great QBs have had really bad days there, and it's not our defense.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Interesting given all of the NFL caliber talent that Watson had the advantage of playing with during his career at Clemson which is something Jackson did not have at Louisville. The OP's bias is as clear as day. The basis for this thread is dubious. Edited March 8, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biased against the thought that Jackson is on Watson's level or that the two are comparable considering how much better of an actual QB Deshaun is? Yes, yes I am.

Running QBs are actually good to have in bad weather. Problem is the weather doesn't factor enough games for me to care about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
