Watson rocked the house last night and had a game like Mitch did against TB. Better because a lot of the plays became open due to his legs. On the season, Mitch is one passer rating point behind Watson after one had his best game throwing and the other his worst. Watson is still ahead of Mitch overall and we'll just have to wait to see if Trubs catches up. I just hope Watson is getting better about holding the ball. It worked great last night when guys became free deep and when he bought enough time to hit guys that started out covered in the end zone.
Dudes a warrior but discretion is the better... even if you have Hopkins and Fuller. I think Hopkins is the best right now.

Watson still passes the eye test better but it's understandable that he's further along. I and others stated that he was the most ready coming out and it's proven correct but he's been even better than that. By the same token, I also said that we won't have a good handle on Mitch until 2019 and I still believe that.
Some of the guys banging on Mitch also really like Peterson and Webb. Kizer, Kaaya, Dobbs? I personally thought Kizer, Beathard and Evans had shots to stick in the league even if not franchise guys. Evans was my yearly longshot but he's is not even on a roster. This shit is hard.
