I just can't objectively say after 6 games, "This guy is the best player in the league". And I couldn't say that if I had ONE game to win, that out of every QB in the league, I would start Deshaun Watson over guys like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers(obviously a healthy Rodgers). He probably wouldn't even be in my top 5, honestly.
I feel like in order to be the best in the world, you need to display a lengthy pattern of playing Hall of Fame caliber football at the NFL level.
It's within reason to think that teams could play him tougher next year after studying lots of tape on him. It's also within reason, that while defenses defend him better, he learns their tendencies and weaknesses, adjusts, and exploits them. Only time will tell.
I'm not going to be one of the people to bash or be pissed off like it's Watson vs. Trubisky or anything. But I definitely can't agree with you. To each his own!
Thanks for the reasoned response.
The way I feel is that is that if GMs were to pick a player to build a team around from scratch, he would likely win it (before the injury more so, I guess). Rookie picks in the otherwise ridiculous stat line, of course, but I think he's the most important football player in the NFL at this time. What he's shown capable of if his leg will be ok, I think he's the top guy in the NFL looking forward.
