I fear we're going to be a middling team with Trubisky. Never bad enough to get a top pick. Then we'll start the death spiral to one of the worst teams before we get a top pick again.
It will be 2025 before we get a good draft pick again thanks to Pace.
It will suck even without other QBs shining, but that makes it worse.
I apologize for getting too shitty upon constantly reading everything related back to Trubisky.
I don’t dislike Watson. I wanted him and I have no reason to root against him. (Well, O’Brien makes me sick, but who cares?)
I just wish we could enjoy good performances without reminding ourselves every ten seconds our team is not as good. We know that.
I wish I could watch Watson play and not always be told he’s playing better than he really is.
But I will say this about him. It reminds me of Elway. Not playing style necessarily but the ‘phenomenon’.
Elway would look like shit for far more plays than he looked great, unlike a Marino, for example, who never looked like shit.
But Elway was always a threat until the final second ticked off, and often came up with a big play to hurt the opponent.
I believe that describes Watson, so that’s pretty damn good. He did not look good most of today, and he certainly wasn’t the only reason texas came back.
But he made the plays -enough of them at least -to win the game.
And that is all that matters.
I root for him. He’s fun to watch. I just wish he weren’t a texan.
