That's a big key.

Not to take anything away from Watson because he is a phenomenal athlete, but with today's NFL rules protecting the QB it makes it more difficult to take a QB like that down.  There were AT LEAST two if not three plays where he should have been sacked and I wonder if perhaps the defenders "let off" just a bit.  This is especially true after the penalty against Campbell.

I'm not saying that's what happened, but I wonder if that's a product of the "modern NFL".

Also, Watson has become better than I thought that he would be.  Will he last in the NFL?  That's a big question.  Will he become a Russell Wilson or Cam Robinson or become another RG3?

We can retire the RG3 comparison already.  RG3 was never a good passer, and had one good year in a pistol run option offense, where his main weapon was his legs.  Watson is getting better and is on his way to his third straight 103+ qb rating season at better than a 3-1 TD-INT ratio.  He's already proven to be more consistent and a better passer than Newton, the only real comp is Wilson and he's definitely trending in that direction notwithstanding Wilson being out of his mind this year.
