Is Watson Actually Earning the QB Job, or Just Winning by Default?

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

After a lighthearted detour into Fan 15 buffet talk and old grudges against Brent Venables' Clemson sideline theatrics, Ken and Lima dig into whether Deshaun Watson is genuinely earning the starting job or simply benefiting from a thin quarterback room. Lima argues Watson's superior command of the offense is real but largely off field, while Ken counters that the front office's financial incentive to sell tickets and PSLs makes starting an unpopular quarterback business suicide, which paradoxically proves Watson must be earning it on merit. They agree the debate boils down to a low bar, since it is unclear either quarterback would win a starting job on most other NFL rosters, before opening the phone lines for fan opinions.
