Baker was the one who wanted to play when the coaches basically told him no because he was injured. He forced himself onto the field with a bum shoulder because he was in a contract year. He then proceeded to play horribly, take shots at the HC in the media and was released where he then went on to play for 3 other teams. If Baker is any sort of lesson in this, its that Watson should NOT play unless he feels he can make all of the throws. Putting yourself out there with a bum shoulder trying to be Superman and throwing interceptions/missing WRs causing your team to lose is not valiant...its stupid. Okay, there's that too. Mea culpa. I am certain it won't be last time, unfortunately. 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he did panic, forced himself to play injured against the teams will which only caused more in-fighting and the rest is history. Live and learn. Playing like trash because your only 70% healthy does more harm than good. 👍 With no Nick Chubb to lean on, it makes it real tough to put a not-100% healthy QB out there against arguably the best team in football. Scheduled loss. Edited October 12, 2023 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheduled loss. So - from reading this, there is a driver that led to the events above, and it could be summed up in two words: "Job Security" Job security (or, the lack thereof) prompted a former #1 pick with a solid resume to play through injuries and - in this particular instance - cost him his job. Now... is this something Watson has to worry about? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Watson is a sociopath with a guaranteed contract, he's going to do whatever he thinks is best for himself. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 My guess is after he watches PJ Walker get his lunch eaten by the San Francisco D this week, his shoulder will feel better in time for Indy next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Wait, is it actually not consensus that he's quitting on his team (again)? Like, that's really the debate here? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
