Absurd evaluation.
There is a difference between excuses and reasons.
2022 falls into the later. Anyone with any sense could see that.
Let's get real. Deshaun Watson has played in 60 NFL games. The last six took place under what anyone would call unusual circumstances.
I will leave it at that. Either understand or you don't.
If you really watch the six games instead of reducing them to a spread sheet. One can actually see first hand his performance. The Deshaun Watson who played the previous 54 games flashed his true ability.
IMO true evaluation lies in his 54 games not the last six. Look at the last time DW prepared for a full season and played a full season.
He will now have that opportunity in 2023.
The junk being handed out about his six games in 2022 IMO are meaningless.
2023 is a different story. However he plays will be a true representation of the player.
I think some of the talking heads are playing the what-if game that ran through my mind on DW. If it works out in our favor, and he's stellar for years to come and has no further off-field issues, then it's a good trade. If he doesn't play at an elite level, at least top ten consistently, then we were fleeced.
