I don't blame him as its his job to win football games and not be a free pipeline to billion dollar franchises. I mean shit, most of them look at a KFC building, a yellow circle, Jenna Jameson fisting herself and a mechanical pencil and go oh ok a screen pass.
His issues look correctable and the Chiefs have the staff and the ability to have patience with him and fix the issues.

Apart from sheer size, few things are harder to correct than piss-poor mechanics made habit by years of repetition.
And frankly, size is a hell of a lot easier to scheme around.
His mechanics aren't quite as bad as say, Tim Tebows, but they're bad enough as to not be NFL caliber. So they'll need a pretty thorough overhaul. So much so, in fact, that you're bordering on the whole frame-off rebuild that Tebow would've needed.
Did you see Tebow's mechanical issues as 'correctable'?
Footwork and mechanics have sunk many a productive college QB at the next level. You just cannot get away with any kind of inconsistency at the next level. Your arm has to do exactly what you expect it to do every single time and to do that, your entire base has to be rock solid and repeatable. Watson's isn't.
Like I said - depending on who's available, I'd consider Watson, but don't whistle past the graveyard with him. There's a chance - and not a small one - that he's never an NFL caliber player.
