DeShaun Watson is 3 lbs heavier than Lamar Jackson, same height. No one is calling DW undersized.

Again, this is the bullshit teams are putting out there to further devalue Jackson's worth. And the public eats it up and believes them.

If I'm Jackson, I'd lower my prize a bit but stick to wanting a fully guaranteed deal.

Looking at what is happening out there, looks like the teams are "undervaluing" Jackson just as much as the fans.

He's a stud. Personally, I'm not trying to devalue him. I have said he's a Top 10 QB. He should definitely get paid. But his body type and playing style is different than any other QB in the league. Watson doesn't run nearly as much as Jackson. Watson averaged 6 carries a game last year. Jackson's lowest number of carries in a game (besides Denver when he got hurt) was 6. And he averaged over 10 carries per game.

watson> lj as a QB

Watson before trying to get rubbed off by every masseuse west of the Mississippi > Jackson.

Watson wasn't very good last year, but that's to be expected w/ such a long layoff. I'm definitely curious to see if he returns to his previous elite level in 2023.

Good story here: Former #Giants OL Nick Gates, who broke his left fibula and tibia in a game against Washington in 2021 and battled his way back from seven surgeries, is headed to … Washington.

Gates has agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the #Commanders, source says.
