Greg McElroy just bashed Deshaun on First Team for not playing
Jan 24, 2017, 9:16 AM
|

in the senior bowl in Mobile. Said he won't go high in draft based on film and playing would help. Didn't he watch the last 2 NC where DW4 ran up the score on his beloved Alabama?
Deshaun is smart not to go to that rabid state and play where he just waxed both teams in the same year!

I agree DW has nothing to prove by playing in the senior bowl. If his performances in the last 2 national championship games are not enough for NFL scouts, then the Senior Bowl would not help.

If I were Watson

I would have had no intentions of playing int he Senior Bowl as I don't think it would've made much of a difference at all, either way. However, if the Browns directly asked him to play then it would've just reinforced my decision to not play in the game.
His career will have a much greater chance at success if he is drafted to a team that gives him a veteran established QB to sit behind for a bit so he can learn the game at that level, and not get thrown to the wolves behind a questionable offensive line.
Plus, he wouldn't have to live in Cleveland, so he'd have that going for him.

Very intellectual! He doesn't need to prove a thing so why would a fellow QB like Greg make such an unintelligible comment?

With QB Being such a premium in the NFL
Jan 24, 2017, 9:47 AM

He's already a lock to go in the top 15. No way Cleveland, San Francisco, Chicago, NY Jets, Buffalo, Arizona, all who have QB needs don't take the top 3 or even 4 QB's. There's absolutely zero need for him to prove anything else.
This mock draft has Cleveland not waiting until their 2nd pick like most think, and grabbing him #1 over all
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000778266/article/threeround-mock-draft-deshaun-watson-goes-no-1-to-browns
This is more about McElroy not understanding the value of a top ranked QB, because he wasn't one. He was borderline draftable. He was a 4 year sr, who probably did use the SR bowl to garner some attention. He was a 7th round pick so he's got zero perspective on how much the NFL values a QB that's even above average. McElroy doesn't know this because he was a below average NFL prospect.
No doubt that Deshaun has some things he'll have to adapt to at the next level, but there's also no doubt he's one of the three best QB's in the draft and the only one who has compiled over 2 years of game film to look at. He doesn't need this and in reality if he had a poor week there it could only hurt his draft stock. He's a lock top 15 pick right now.

most in the history of college football. If you didn't play for Clemson or Alabama, you played somewhere between 24-26.
He probably needs a little rest, don't you think?

in the 2011 Senior Bowl. Maybe Mr. Watson's energy would be better-utilized preparing for the Combine!

an injury in an all star game like that?
Smart move by DW4. Any team that can recognize a winner already wants him.

Well...Watson isn't in the same boat as McElroy was because he is actually a good QB...Hes not some mediocre shmuck who won off the back of a stellar defense and needs to the Senior Bowl to turn heads...McElroy can eat a weenis

GM constantly questions Watson's pocket presence and ability to throw from the pocket. I don't get it. If he needs to stay in the pocket and deliver lasers downfield, he can and will.

In my opinion these All Star games rarely do very much to help a QB'S draft stock. And often hurt them. Forget the whole playing under center argument, it's your team mates that I worry about. Often times you are throwing to a guy from Slapnutz State A&M Tech who is hoping to get a look in lower rounds. There is little time to establish timing and cohesiveness, and many QB's come out of these games with horrible passing stats. These games are best suited for the superstars of FCS to play with the middle tier FBS guys, to show they belong. A qb who has broken records every year, played in two titles games and should have at LEAST one Heisman, does NOT need to go to Mobile. Stay home, and train towards Combine and Pro Day.
