Also Watson kind of reminds me of Vince Young, not as bad throwing the ball, but really bad mechanics (slow wind up throwing motion), but dangerous as a runner so that'll be of benefit to the Texans. But it does look like another wasted season for the Texans, they should be doing whatever it takes to lure Romo out of the booth.

Disagree on Watson, his mechanics are really good.
They were praised coming in to the draft too

Watson is a very good athlete. He excelled as a runner in 2015 (1,105 yards, 12 TDs) before developing into more of a pocket thrower in his final year. He has a quick, smooth release and an over-the-top motion

he has issues recognizing coverage, let to too many turnovers. But if he can figure that out he has a high ceiling.
Also I think the idea that QB play is so bad compared to the past is all member berries
just looking at qb stats from 10 years ago
in 2016
the 20th highest YPA was 7, the 20th highest completion percentage was 61%, 20th most yards thrown was 3500
in 2006, the 20th for those was 6.52, 58%, and 2600
