STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson's 80.7 passer rating and 177.1 passing yards per game show mediocre production despite starting role.

Watson's preseason performance was mixed; he outplayed Shedeur Sanders in the Bears game (more completions, passing yards, superior passer rating) but underperformed in the Bills game. Despite the competitive nature of the offseason QB battle, the source notes Watson has a 9-10 record as starter, a sub-mediocre 80.7 passer rating, and averages less than 180 passing yards per game (177.1 yards), with two seasons in the last two years ending early due to injury.
