Watson has been exceptional to this point by any standard.  Whether he can sustain that success once there's more tape on his tendencies and weaknesses is still an unknown.  Kid is a baller though, what he did in Seattle was no joke, that's not an easy place to play.  I agree with others though, Cam would massacre the league with Houston's WR and play calling.

For those of you not in reactionary mode, this was a Shula question? Would Shula have Watson performing  at his current level. Watson has generated 19 touchdowns in 7 games, Setting a rookie record. However the offensive staff in Houston didn’t produce much success with their previous qbs the past few seasons.

For example Brady was mediocre in college, but through a series of coordinators in the pros has been consistently HoF material.Yet when his coordinators have gotten other coaching gigs they have been meh to horrible.

I am not asking for a trade I am trying to discover if better coaching makes great players, better, or weak players at least serviceable. Me personally I don’t think this current staff really makes offensive players better, but they have definitely made some marginal defensive players serviceable. I am looking for names of coaches we think could get us to max potential.

      Everyone talks about how important it is to draft a QB in round 1 and have the "5th year option" I haven't seen it play out the well over the past several years. The good/great QB' aren't playing the first 5 years under their original deal.  After year 3 or 4 they are getting mammoth extensions. Having Penix take over in year 3 may actually save the Falcons some money over the next 5 seasons. I doubt they'd give him an extension after his first year as a starter if he took over the starting position after the guaranteed portion of Kurt Cousins new deal ends in 2025.   In terms of playing time, Penix 3 years as a starter would be ending with the 5th year of his rookie deal (assuming his option was picked up). The money Penix would be making in year 5 of a rookie contract would be significantly less than the upper echelon 5 year starters are making now.

      I mean you can see it in his highlights - he has CBs from Yale and Colgate in his hip pocket.  Yes he's making contested catches and moving the chains, but those aren't even P4 CBs and he's struggling to separate.

      Working for a season under Adam Thielen (another undrafted WR) should be a positive factor.  Some of these issues are correctable.  Many kids from small schools not only lack experience against DI schools, they lack the coaching that develops talent.
