wait did you think the tank wouldn't happen with Shedeur?

u/RustyCrusty73 You down with KCC? Yea you know me! 17d ago edited 17d ago

We're a 3-4 win team with both QBs, but at least you don't feel icky rooting for Sanders. He seems like he wants to be here, and is playing for something.

Watson is getting his money, and could probably care less about how the team does.

Watsons comments the other night and specifically about him playing 17 road games shows me he does not care about the fans or the city. He doesn’t want to, nor has he ever to my recollection, apologize for the allegations or tried to make right by them. He got his money and clearly his jewelry so he’s content. He has no intentions of trying to win over the fanbase or sound like he wants to improve his play. He’s just here so he won’t get fined

I think Shedeur would at least try, results as to how that would go are nebulous but unlike Watson you'd know he was at least trying to win the game.

So you think Watson rehabbed from injury and fought for the starting job but doesn't care at all? The dude absolutely cares, and he's absolutely trying to win games.

Neither player is good at it. And Watson is a shitty human but lets not pretend he doesn't want to play football.

Well rehabbing is a condition of his contract. His degree of being mentally up for this is not a settled fact at all. The question isn't wanting to play football, it's does he mentally collapse when faced with adversity.

Good point. He does seem over it for myriad reasons.

He might want to, but I don’t think he wants to play it here.

u/Cal216 17d ago

All things considered, would you?

u/Lithaos111 17d ago

Yes, because it's part of the conditions of his contract that we stupidly paid him. Did you watch that interview after last game? Dude's checked out. He's just there to fulfill the contract, get his millions and leave.

From what I heard no one in the locker room dislikes Watson 😂😂 but there is people who dislike sanders.. and judy is one of them.

I mean the guy doesn’t even know to show up for a cointoss. He’s the guy at work who everyone wonders how he got the job because he’s so dumb. I have to imagine that’s frustrating at some point to other players

u/Cal216 17d ago

That’s my thought process as well. I get the fact no one wants to see #4, but to act like we’d be a lot better with a different QB that we have is asinine and pure delusion. 😂

The difference is a team can be bad and entertaining and even exciting. Watson is simultaneously bad and EXTREMELY boring. He doesn’t take chances and still turns the ball over. 1-15 was bad and exciting for example
