I can't believe that this thread has generated this much discussion. Seriously. One thing that we have learned about the NFL is that you can very rarely consider a quarterback(or pretty much any player) a success or a failure midway through his rookie season a success or a failure. And you sure can't make a comparison to a player who is sitting behind an established veteran. RGIII has been brought up. He looked like a HOF QB at this point in his career. Peyton Manning only won a couple of games his rookie year. Dak Prescott, it's still to early to judge him, but he doesn't look as great as he did last year. Kaepernick flopped pretty quick. Bottom line. Watson could go on to have a HOF career while Mahomes busts. Mahomes could go on to be the HOF quarterback while Watson fizzles out, or they could both turn out to be average. This discussion is moot for at least 3-4 years. No way I consider that Mahomes wasn't the right choice at this point. I have no reason to.
