Just playing the odds, Watson is (was) the #2 asset in the entire league and while Lawrence could top that it's probably unlikely. But there's also a decent chance that Watson doesn't play another snap in the league, and if he does it almost certainly won't be with the Texans.

I considered that, but gave the edge to TL long term because he's younger and the pre-draft evaluation of him as a generational prospect (where Watson did not receive that sort of praise). 

Of course given Watson's accomplishments, you could easily make the credible argument that the difference in age between Watson and Lawrence is not enough to diminish the long term potential for Watson.

Herbert and Allen have only done it for a year.  Both appear to have very bright futures (especially Allen because Buffalo has done such a great job putting pieces around him).  Brady and Rodgers are both great QBs, but age has to be a consideration.  There was a stretch in last year's playoffs that Brady did not play well at all (notably vs. Green Bay), and Rodgers is openly hinting retirement to host Jeopardy.

Are you looking at what the QBs have done or what they will do?  If I'm looking to take a QB I want the one who I feel will be the best going foward, which I would take all the above. If it just for 1 year give me Brady all day.  Watson has had a great team around him outside of last year and he never done nothing with it, pretty much choked every year in the playoffs with arguably the best WR and a top defense.  Last year he put up some good numbers but a lot were during garbage time.  Lol at the Brady comment, he was the best QB in the league the last half of the season and had 3 TDs and almost 300 yards in that 1 game as well and a big reason why they won
