Brad Kaaya looks like You Typical Qb very handsome ...I think him or Dobbs gonna be the 2nd best qb in the middle of Watson and Mahomes

I been on team Brad Kaaya and Dobbs from the jump.

They are the two best QBs in this class by a wide margin.

I just don't know what to make of Deshaun Watson. He's got the pedigree but just something about him is off to me when it comes to projecting a stud QB. He's a little too soft spoken. And kinda got some lazy eyes. He might be a sneaky killer but I'm not sure.

Guys with his success in college almost never have big time success in the NFL. Plus I'm concerned about his durability.

I think he might be more Teddy Bridgewater than Dak Prescott or Russell Wilson. In that I mean he'll be a decent starter who has trouble staying healthy and never quite becomes that franchise QB everyone thinks he will be.

Nah. I do worry about injuries with him. However, I think Watson takes more chances with the football than Teddy. Teddy had great footwork for a young QB. Just never had the confidence to consistently push the football. He might have this year if he didn't mess up his knee.

I think Watson could be Dak Prescott level....if he's surrounded by that kind of talent. Then again we saw Dak carry teams with little talent in college. Watson was on teams that were loaded. I still think he's more of that kind of potential.

Other than Cam almost every big time college QB that wins heismans or national titles has been a bust.

I don't know why but big time college success is almost a curse in the NFL.

Dudes like Dak who get overlooked typically end up as the better pros.

I'm not disagreeing. Just saying I think Injuries would be Deshaun's downfall instead of poor play or average play.
He took a lot of tough hits during his time in college.

I think if he goes to the Texans/get coached up, etc he could be very successful. If he goes to the Jets....well...maybe not.

Marcus Mariota might be another comp for him. A guy who is putting up decent numbers but has injury issues and hasn't really turned into a true superstar.

Deshaun is in that Mariota/Bridgwater mold to me.

Possibly. I see Chiefs version of Alex Smith as a a good comparison as well. But with a better arm.

To be fair, Mariota was really good last season before that fluke injury. Shouldn't label him with Teddy.
