Watson vs. Trubisky: Predicting how good a QB will

be 4 or 5 years down the road, is probably one of the toughest things for an NFL GM.

For sure, if we were only banking on the next two years, Watson would indeed be the best choice based on total body of work and playing approximately 40 games in college compared to Trubisky's 13. Not to mention having much more success during that body of work.

Still, it seems many think Trubisky has a higher ceiling. Why is that? I wonder if race plays into it at all? Still, in 2017, we've only had two black QBs, Doug Williams and Russell Wilson, win a Super Bowl. Also, because of injuries in the past, I wonder if mobile QBs as a whole are discriminated against?

One thing is certain, whomever of the two was the best in college, won't play into it very much as neither is ready right now to step right in and lead an NFL team to a playoff spot. It all depends on who gets better, improves, and is the best in three or four years.
