Weren't you just saying the only people who had written the book were Watson detractors?

Your entire argument is based on that 49MPH figure pre-draft. Yes, that was an outstanding figure when it was released. But that has not played out in the NFL. Pre-draft, with that figure, i was saying the same damn thing you were. But then live games happened.
Instead of clinging onto that figure, how about using your eyes? When the lights come on and he has to throw, his arm looks nowhere near as weak as that 49mph figure suggests. It seems like you're all caught up with those digits.

So, the 49MPH number is false? Bad gun at the combine? Watson has a weak arm, and it
could be problematic, for obvious reasons. He's played 7 games, and outside of Seattle, his only successes are against terrible pass defenses (ranked 19, 25, 29, 30).
I've said it before, but I guess I'll say it again - I don't know, nor particularly care, if Watson succeeds or fails. He'll have to overcome a weak arm to do so, but the guy has a history of success, and very well may pull it off. I'm certainly not going to claim he has already, after only 7 games.
Have fun on your crusade.
