I think what people are missing is that these “jump balls” were right where they needed to be - right on the receivers hands in most cases. The fact that the ball was placed so the receiver could use vertical space to make the catch and only his man could get the ball doesn’t make the throw meaningless. This is a legitimate NFL throw that great QBs have to be able to execute accurately, and he placed a several of them perfectly. Facing a defense so adept at forcing turnovers, throwing 5 TDs and no INTs means he was probably placing the ball very well down the field.
Smith, for now an MVP candidate, was less accurate down the field even in a game where he played well.
Nobody is saying Watson doesn’t have a long way to go yet before he’s arrived, but the pre-draft trash talk that he isn’t a legitimate NFL QB obviously is not looking too smart right now.

He threw up jump balls.
All he has to do is is throw it in the area so that his receiver can track it, get into position.
The is no real accuracy involved, and this just the stupidest take.
His guys won the jump balls.
That was it.
