So one guy who's even a fringe NFL starter. Wow, this clearly proves Watson will be better than Trubisky.

High praise indeed

So the #12 overall pick looks better in camp than a couple of 3rd rounders, a 4th rounder, a 7th rounder, and two undrafted QBs?
Well, I would hope so

Draft success will not be defined in the first preseason game on schedule of their perspective careers.
How many times do projects actually end up succeeding?
A one year QB wonder with great measurables shoots up the draft charts. How many times have we seen that scenario play out?

probably same rate as the non projects end up succeeding.

Every QB is a project. Some just need more work than others.

Well I assumed with the word project we were speaking relative to average QB development. Don't see how you can take a project with the #2 overall pick.
Obviously nothing's decided, but these days if you pick a guy that high and he's not starting by year 2, you picked the wrong guy.

Chicago picking Trubisky is going to be on the all time worst picks list

Gonna need you to define "succeeding" and let me know how to tell which QBs are projects and which ones aren't before I can accurately answer your question.

Trubisky is raw, needs a lot of work.

If I'm Deshaun Watson I thank God every day I went to Houston as opposed to the Bears. Better weather, not too far from his home in GA and a much better chance to succeed than in Chicago.

Biggest problem with drafting him that high is that they gave up high capital to move up one draft spot and no one else was trying to move up there

When you play for an utter moron like David, you have to be emotionless

It was more of a rhetorical question. Just saying that we've seen the one year wonders flame out spectacularly before. I'd want a QB with a body of work.

Drafting Trubisky is not the problem, what they gave up to draft him is the problem

Meanwhile up in Chicago Trubisky is having trouble with completing a qb/rb exchange
Remember Johnny Football? Teams reviewed the LSU TAMU films and he became worthless.
Expect DW to run into the same issues after teams look at the BWW Bowl film.

didn't trubisky not know what a hard count was either...?

Name one QB who was labeled a project coming out of the draft that ever turned out to be really good? I can't think of a single one.
ETA: Just saw this question was already brought up.
