That's the part I'm struggling with right now.

Its gotta get better

One would hope. But right that seems like all it is. Nothing but hope.

:sulk:

Veach seems to be able to at least draft competently on defense. Haul this year:

Speaks; flashed in the Patriots game.
Nnadi; seems to jump out as a solid run stuffer
ODaniel; who knows.
Watts; not bad until the injury bug bit him.

Next year we'll have a 1st and extra 2nd to play with as well. Don't really see a reason to be all doom and gloom for the future. Something has.to change with the scheme though.

Ah ... the little bugger tricked me.

I came to believe that the composure he demonstrated in the Stoolers and Niners games would be replicated. I figured his exposure to big league baseball would allow him to handle the big stages. I thought Wally would have hypnotized him to the point he could see into the minds of defenders.

Imagine my disappointment. By my count, he's missed 7 sure touchdowns by either not pulling the trigger or overthrowing his receiver by 12 inches.

It's time for The Human Trebuchet to rebalance the counterweight.

I’m willing to bet he doesn’t have any audio about Watson INTs from last year. He probably also thinks defenses have figured him out because of the picks.

It probably helped, but there's no better experience than living it yourself. That's why I often think even if he had started last year he would be ahead in his progress than he is now. All the 'sitting behind Alex helped him' narrative is overblown in my opinion.

Watts was starting to look quite good.
