Yeah, it still needs work. He needs to work on his drop backs. He needs to continue to immerse himself in the playbook and know the placement of every bead of snot on the field.
But throwing off his back foot with guys crawling up his ass is what he does. And that's why Reid got him. You can't expect him to take that out of his toolbox, because that's not who he is.
Sorry that's not what you wanted in a QB, but it's what the Chiefs got. But I think you'll see in the end that it's going to end up being a better level of QB play than what Houston will get out of Deshaun Watson.

I have been open minded since five minutes after he was drafted. I posted about it here. I don't have a problem with where he was drafted and what we gave. It's what the boss/organization wanted. I am just honest about what I see. I genuinely hope he works out. I just have my doubts. I am not gonna knit pick the guy. I pronounced that yesterday. All I am saying is what I saw was the same thing I saw in college.
The difference between me and you guys is I don't have hope. He doesn't give me hope. I'd keep looking and take another QB early this year.
