I totally agree with you that Dak is the better passer. My reference was to the fact that even in this day and age people see a successful black QB and the comparisons automatically start. I.e. the references some have to Russel Wilson (who is light years better than Dobbs as a passer, and Dak as well) Notice there is no reference to athletic white QB's (S Young, A Rodgers, T Romo).
With Dak Prescot's success in Dallas, it will make it interesting to see where Dobbs ends up. I wonder if some team trying to catch lightning in a bottle will jump up and draft him earlier than expected?
What does Watson have to do to alleviate your "concerns" about his durability? Do answer, it's a rhetorical question, we already know your answer.
He injured the knee in November of 2014, his freshman year, played on it vs SCar after the injury and led them to their first win on the Gamecocks in 6 years while playing lights out......and proceeded to not miss a game in the next 2 years, 30 straight games. The kid has more than proven both his toughness and durability since that injury.
You may prefer Josh and Kaaya to Watson in this year's draft, but I seriously doubt any of the 32 professional NFL GMs do.
Vince Young wasn't really a bad NFL QB; he won rookie of the year and ultimately had a 31-19 record as a starter for some pretty mediocre Titans teams. He could've been a great QB, but unfortunately he got screwed over by Jeff Fisher and a conservative playbook completely unsuited to utilize his talents. VY's problem was entering the NFL just a few years before it was really ready for a player like him.
The "it" factor huh?..............Like Tebow?
And? None of them thought Dak was any good last year and look how that turned out.
I could be the only person on earth who thinks Dobbs is the best QB in this draft and I could be right. Just because NFL GMs don't agree with me doesn't make me ultimately wrong.
NFL GMs have been wrong about many QBs.

Its very rare for a QB with tremendous success in college like Deshaun to also succeed in the NFL. The best pro QBs are typically in the Dak Prescott or Derek Carr mold. Very good college success. But not really the heisman/national title winning QB.
Cam Newton is the only outlier to this general trend.
Because they were both mobile SEC qbs they are automatically similar? No. Ive watched every throw of Dobbs career and I watched every throw Dak threw this year and its night and day. Dak makes throws Dobbs can only dream of. Hell he threw for almost 3k more yards than Dobbs in his college career.
Dobbs will be drafted by a bottom feeder and he will be initiated by fire and be running for his life.
You didn't think Dak was any good either.....and how did that turn out?
And don't say "well I'm not an NFL GM" again, because that's pretty exactly what you're constantly trying to be on here.
As far as you being ultimately wrong, it won't be about whether or not GMs agree with you....it'll be whether or not you were ultimately wrong about Dobbs.....like you were wrong about Dak, and North, and Bosa and Kelvin Taylor, and .......
Marquez was just added to the Rams active roster so I wouldn't give up on him just yet. If he can get healthy, he'll be a quality NFL WR.
And since you love reminding everyone of my misses, how about the hits?
(1) I said Ezekiel Elliott would not only be the best player in the 2016 draft but he would immediately become one of the top RBs in the NFL and lead the league in rushing. That happened.
(2) I also said Sterling Shepard was the #1 WR in the 2016 draft and was a better prospect than Treadwell, Coleman, or any other overhyped first round WR. I was right about that as well.
(3) I called Jared Goff being an epic bust. That happened.
(4) I said Derrick Henry would be a bust in the NFL. That happened.
Its true that so far it looks like I missed on some guys. But so far it looks like I've been right on other guys as well.

So you're not giving up on Marquez yet after he wasn't drafted, couldn't get on their roster and has yet to play a single NFL snap....but Goff, who certainly struggled but started 7 games and threw for 1,100 yards or so, is an epic bust already?
Congrats on Ezekiel and Shepard....you got those right.
I did. He didn't do much of anything. And don't give me he's just a rookie. Typically high profile RBs come in and dominate immediately.
Henry will be another Brandon Jacobs.
Being behind one of the best RBs in the NFL was the only issue Henry had. I'm still not sold that he is a future All Pro but I really like what I've seen out of the kid so far.I did.
