The only thing that I got out of that is that as a rookie Deshaun Watson is a better QB than Drew Brees...   I'll take that.

You must be pretty nervous if that's the way you choose to spin it.  Otherwise, no need for spin.  The delta is a very significant drop.

Actaully I'm not nervous about it...and I'm not spinning either. The guy posted a ridiculous 124 passer rating on non pressures. He had nowhere else to go, but down when pressured. However he still posted a 70.9 rating on pressures....which is less than 10 points lower than your starter's total career average passer rating.

 Let's not act like these were just normal pressures either..Watson played behind the worst offensive line in the league (I'm sure Y'all remember sacksonville week 1). A lot of pressures with this line were straight jail breaks to the QB and as a rookie (remember he was a rookie) he still was able to make chicken salad out of failed plays and had a very respectable passer rating against that kind of pressure. Hell when He went out he had a 103 passer rating average playing behind that line...as a rookie. 

So to answer your question, no I'm not nervous or worried about him other than worried/nervous in our ability to protect him better. We have to get better offensive line play or he probably won't survive the season. But as a individual talent or ability standpoint..Watson is the last one I'm nervous or worried about.
