He's been a top 10 QB over the period since he was drafted so I don't really understand your argument

My whole argument is that I think the shine is coming off him a bit.  I think he is looking more like a second tier (8-12) QB.  I was surprised to see you [BLEEP] on the idea that the Texans would regret that contract.  Especially after only 2 wins against our team.

He is probably top 10 I agree.  Top 10 QBs get paid, I agree.
I would have signed him to that contract and built around him.

However sitting at 2 wins with a “franchise QB” would be disappointing.  I would not be totally confident that I hadn’t made a huge mistake.

His play is actually better this season than last season though. The shine isn't 'coming off' , they just had a coaching change and one of the worst defenses in football.  

If you're a young 10 QB and getting a new deal you're getting a massive deal and it's going to be worth it because the alternative option is significantly worse. And only an idiot would think having Deshaun Watson locked up long term is a huge mistake
