He’s debatably the worst in NFL history when you consider the price tag…yeah. 

How’s it debatable? It’s an absolute layup. 3+ firsts, 1/4 of a billion dollars guaranteed, no outs for 6 years, dead cap now rolled over to 2027 too.

Difference between the worst QB in NFL history and the worst acquisition in NFL history.

Because Paxton Lynch exists, I don't know if I can say Watson is the worst.

Debatable because you could say as far as on-the-field-production, he’s obviously far from the worst. 

But yeah, factoring in those picks, Baker leaving (and no costing a fraction of what Watson costs contractually), the cap hits, how long he’s locked in for, and his health…yeah. You’d rather just pick a Jamarcus Russell #1 overall. At least you could dump him ASAP, he won’t eviscerate your cap, and you still have your picks when you inevitably suck.

Right but you said “when including the price tag”.

He is Trey Lantz caliber with the absurd guarantees

The only other argument I could see is the Bryce Young deal in part because Baker and Sam Darnold were the Panthers QB room in 2022 when they moved up for Bryce. Basically 3 busted QBs in 1 pick, plus the trade package.
