He also gets rid of the ball in .35 of a second, which is the same as Aaron Rodgers.
Some say he is Alex Smith. When I watch him, there is nothing there that makes me think "this is like watching Alex Smith". I see poise and patience in the pocket. I see eyes still down field the whole time he had the ball. I see a guy that can make a mistake, and let it go. A guy good enough to overcome a turnover or two, and still make plays to win a game.
One week out... Give me Watson.

I agree.
If he's Alex, he's the Alex we have wanted to see but never have. He's not going to be a pussy out there and if there's one guy from this crop that I want with the ball in his hands with 2 mins left in the game it's him.
The INT bullshit is inflated and overstated. 5 of his 17 INT's were from WR running the wrong route, WR falling down on the route, perfectly placed balls hitting off the hands of the WR or an alligator arm effort from a good enough. All that should have been caught.
Also the Malik Hooker INT was crazy. Watson placed that ball perfectly but Hooker is just a flat out boss.
