I'm counting on either Paxton Lynch or DeShaun Watson winning their respective QB battles. I only have 2 starting QB's in a 2Qb league for team 1 in sig We already knew that Watson was a more dynamic player than Savage. Last night proved that as well. I'm not too high on Lynch, why can't he overcome a what was it? 7th rounder?
I like that Savage played the entire 1st quarter, that means he still has something to prove and may not have such a tight grip on the starting position. Watson looked good, very poised, but not stellar. Absolutely the QB with more intangibles.
Do you think Watson takes over the position by week 5?

Re: DeShaun Watson
I know Denver traded up into the first to get Lynch. But I don't think Lynch is good--and I suspect he will never be the actual starter .
Watson not only will be starting by Week 5 --he will be starting Week 1. I have been saying this since the NFL draft

Re: DeShaun Watson
Im from Houston. Watson could very well be starting week 1.
Don't be surprised if week 3 of pre season, both savage AND Watson get time with starters.
Hell maybe week 2 he might play him with starters some to see, and week 3, start him over savage with the starters and see if he can keep up.
As a Houston fan, this is the most I've looked forward to pre season in a long time. What a battle.

I hope Lynch wins the job too so I can trade him haha

Re: DeShaun Watson
Were you guys watching the same game I was last night? Watson looked terrible. He missed on pretty much every throw.
I would put money on Savage starting Week 1. From there, it will depend more on team performance than individual performance. I'd bet Savage is starting past Week 5 though.
As for Lynch, Denver brass really wants him to start, but he needs to keep the competition close. Siemien isn't good, so if Lynch can't beat him out that is a bad, bad sign. Of course, that would just prove again that Elway has been a really bad offensive talent evaluator who got bailed out by having Manning choose Denver.
Odds of starting Week 1:
Watson: 20%
Lynch: 55%

Re: DeShaun Watson
Whether Watson takes over by week 5 will be completely based on Houston's record at that point. It's difficult to predict that right now, but I wouldn't bank on it. I do think he eventually takes over, but don't know when.

Week 4 or 5 latest. More than likely week 1 though.
Re: DeShaun Watson
I watched both games and Watson sure as hell looked better than Lynch.....literally, Lynch only completed slants and would scramble. Obviously, a lot of preseason left but he was miserable yesterday.senska11 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2017 1:11 pm Were you guys watching the same game I was last night? Watson looked terrible.

The missing of throws is because of nerves/ playing with the 2s/3s so the recievers were slower, etc. None of that is anything that doesn't look promising as being able to be corrected. We will see as time goes on. What I liked was his poise, and ability to keep a play alive, which we haven't had since... ever.
Re: DeShaun Watson
He's always had good pocket presence and he's always had poor accuracy. Has nothing to do with nerves or who he's practicing with. Has everything to do with mechanics, vision, and anticipation. The good news is those things are generally correctable. The bad news is it takes more than a couple weeks to correct them.Ryantacular wrote: ↑Fri Aug 11, 2017 6:39 amsenska11 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2017 1:11 pm Were you guys watching the same game I was last night?

Didn't look at the schedule but teams will usually transition to a new QB following the bye week if they plan to make a change.

Re: DeShaun Watson
I know you saw that TD! So glad we are starting Watson. As a Houston fan , this is great to watch. High hopes, still tempered expectations , but still hard not to be more optimistic than we have ever been with any other qb before.Ryantacular wrote: ↑Thu Aug 10, 2017 10:45 am Im from Houston.
