Vers, I tend to agree with your point about Watson. In the first half, I felt he looked like a young QB that the game wasn't slowing down for. I thought he had happy feet, held the ball, and was very indecisive. Like you, I'd love to see the whole field on many plays to see if it was him, the receivers not getting open, or both. The announcers were saying how coverage was good, but it's hard to tell without seeing. That being said, he did seem more comfortable in the second half and made plays when he had to. I see the flashes of why the Browns traded for him from a football standpoint. I'd love to see a "complete" game next week from start to finish as a big stepping stone into next season.
Another point I'd like to make is one I know I've read on the board before and agree with. When we are first and goal or at least inside the 5, I do hate shotgun with empty backfield. Mark Schlereth (spelling?) who was the commentator, mentioned that it clearly tells the defense they don't have to worry about the run. I realize that the QB draw is open (and for some reason, we took points off the board and tried that very play), but it just seems to make the offense too one dimensional in that situation - especially with the running game the Browns have. Of course, that's just my opinion as an armchair QB!
