I have no idea what you mean about things "going south". Just the week before watson went 27-33 for 2td's, 289 yards and 2 td's. They won 27-3. Is that what you call things going south?
I was pleasantly surprised the way Watson played in that game and he deserves all the credit he gets but as a franchise QB with 230m on their way to his account there’s no excuses for him to not show up to play when he’s cleared by our medical team.
Forget about Baker and that he was willing to put his health on the line despite awful play design from our HC but instead you can look at a quite successful QB in KCC. There was some excellent episodes on Netflix about Mahomes who was willing to do whatever it takes to both participate and win games for his team. No excuses and no feeling sorry for himself. Even when he barely couldn’t walk he made himself available, even insisted to play despite being well documented injured .
That’s the sign of a winner and you can bet his team mates do everything in their power to repay his dedication and loyalty.
When our highest paid player doesn’t show up when we need him most then why should other players in our roster walk that extra mile we expect from highly paid athletes when they’re injured?
What do you prefer. A fighter and a “win at all cost” character who don’t look for excuses like Pat Mahomes or a *snowflake who make himself unavailable and disappear when things get tough and uncomfortable?
