Has anyone really looked at Watson's game to game stats? If it weren't for a few games like a 5 td performance his stats are almost right there with Trub, I mean sure there are more rushing and passing yards but Trubs has like 1/3 less attempts. Just some food for thought
I'll take a bite.
If you discount a "few games like a 5 td perfprmance" for Watson, why would you not also throw out the same "few games" Mitch performed at that level as well?
This would mean that his stats would still not be "almost right there with Trubs".
Even if you did not do such a thing, I love how his stats are "almost right there with Turbs" while simultaneously having "more rushing and passing yards" which contradicts the alleged statement his stats are "almost right there"... and that was even handicapping Watson's best games while letting Mitch keep his best games!
As to the 1/3 less attempts (fewer you mean but ok), then you would have to see if yards per attempt aligns together as "almost right there". Do they? (nope, not even close. Watson is doing well there and Mitch is one of the worst in the last 2 years and flat out
worst among all QBs last year).
Also, Watson's gritty tough play, throwing a TD after getting kicked in the eye, his last minute heroics in the playoffs last year ... just no.
No.
I took a bite of this food for thought and am throwing this plate out. Watson >> Trubs and it isn't even close in any way.
