Not that it’s a surprise, but what we saw yesterday was clearly what Andy saw in his private visits with Watson and Mahomes.
Watson can’t read defenses well at all and Andy knew it when he was quizzing him at Arrowhead on his visit. He can’t adjust the blitz protections or read the defense pre-snap to change a play to attack the weak point of the defense.
The disparity between Watson and Mahomes mentally is gigantic. Watson clearly hasn’t learned much in his 2 years in the league and it’s not like he has a defensive coach.
All you have to do is look at Watson and Mahomes pre-snap before every passing down. Watson is making some calls while Mahomes says about 20 words every time as he’s reading the defense.
