The Haslams are idiots. They have made a terrible deal with Watson. They have made a sex predator their biggest liability. And that big ass contract will prevent them from trading him. Now they have set the bar for every other owner, this is what all other Qbs are going to demand.

The crazy part of this is that Running Qbs have a very short careers. In the last 30 years the best Qbs, with long playing careers have been the ones stay in the pocket and distribute the ball. Manning, Brees, and that cheater from NE.

QB injuries overwhelmingly occur in the pocket. Guys actually take punishment better on the run, they usually evade or brace for contact. It’s the contact they don’t see coming while throwing that is the killer. Running QBs are nothing new, but guys have to learn to become pocket passers because the legs wear down over time. Not all can.
