He's not a risk to make a big play but he's still a threat to throw a mind-blowing interception at any time.
He's a damn mess.

Yeah it’s a weird thing. On the one hand stefanski runs a system that doesn’t need Watson to think too much and where he can bail out by running. On the other hand it doesn’t give Watson the chance to chuck up prayer balls where an elite WR like Hopkins can bail him out. So that’s an issue. He seems like a faster version of Daunte culpepper whose entire career was built around jump balls and athleticism.. But by far the most damning is that even in stefanskis system if you watch his throws he’s throwing dead arm 5 yard outs into the dirt.
The browns defense and running game are so good that they didn’t need as much from any qb. The irony is now they’re saddled with a qb who now can’t execute even a basic offense yet still sucks up lots of cap
