The major concern I have is how fast he can tie his linemen's shoes. Shoe hurries. Cutty was utterly amazing with that metric. PFF has him down for leading the entire league in "Shoe Hurries" for his career. I don't doubt Watson can tie shoes, but I am very concerned about his true speed there.
Him and the Log are going to have to develop a program and make sure he does constant reps. Maybe get one of those dolls with the shoes you have to tie and he has to see how many times he can do it while he is at the stoplight. This is good for Log too. He can finally work on his creativity. It's a win-win!
Anyone know where Log can find a doll with size 22 shoes? The logs are only size 6. This is going to be a Log challenge for sure...
I'm just happy Cutler didn't fumble the laces. Or go to tie his shoes and end up tying the shoes of the other teams player

I think they can call a penalty when you touch the opposing team players "equipment"
This came out today regarding the Bears and Watson:

Deshaun Watson's a hot prospect, and Bears need a QB, but is No. 3 too high?
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears' quarterback search is about to heat up.
The speculation about how high Deshaun Watson will be drafted has never been hotter after he led Clemson to the national championship by completing 36 of 56 pass attempts for 420 yards and three touchdowns.
No. 3? The Bears are expected to be in the quarterback market with the likely departure of Jay Cutler, whose guaranteed money is coming off the books, but some analysts don't even have Watson going in the first round, much less No. 3. With other areas of need, can the Bears afford to overreach with the No. 3 overall pick?
"In my mind, there is no more important position than the quarterback," Bears general manager Ryan Pace said last week. "It is a critical, critical position. And I know and I recognize that the decision that we make on that quarterback is going to be significant for all of us for the direction that this organization is going to head."
ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper worries about Watson's decision-making and interceptions.
Todd McShay lists North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky, Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer and Watson as the top three quarterbacks for teams to consider, in that order. It's worth noting that McShay's list published before Watson's scintillating title game.
A bonus for the Bears this year is that John Fox and his assistants accepted an invitation to coach the North squad at the upcoming Senior Bowl, where as of Wednesday, eight different quarterbacks had accepted invitations to attend.
There is no guarantee the Bears are willing to take any of three quarterbacks with the third overall pick. Pace may be content to wait until the second round or later to address quarterback -- a perfectly understandable decision unless Pace is convinced the quarterback on the board is a bona fide franchise-changer.
Here are brief scouting reports on Trubisky, Kizer and Watson courtesy of ESPN college football analysts Trevor Matich and Brock Huard from a story that originally published on ESPN.com last month.
Matich's take: "He has all the physical tools. He's very mobile and has a live arm. Good accuracy. So, he can throw the ball well. He also has good leadership. Trubisky has everything you want in a quarterback. Now he has to prove he can do it on the field. I had high hopes for him this year as a Heisman candidate, but maybe that was too much, too soon for him. He needs to show that alpha-dog mentality in order to succeed in the NFL. When you don't have that, you hang onto the ball a little too long and in college you can get away with that. In the NFL, that will get you smashed. But he has the physical skills, and if NFL scouts believe in their interviews with him that he can pick up the offense, and precisely implement it, and make those quick decisions, then there is no reason this guy cannot have success in the league."
Matich's take: "Kizer is mobile enough to be in the NFL. You don't have to be Steve Young or Cam Newton. So, he's mobile enough to be in the pocket and do the rollouts. Actually, he has way more than enough mobility for that. He has an accurate arm and a strong arm. All that leads me to believe he has an excellent chance to be a very good NFL quarterback. I can't think of anything right now that might hold him back. There are always going to be questions about a rookie quarterback's maturity or ability to move to an NFL scheme on offense. From what I've seen on tape, Kizer seems to be a good leader and the team tends to rally around him. I've seen him make throws into certain windows that lead me to believe the physical tools are worth the price of admission. A strong arm is mildly interesting. Accuracy is non-negotiable. What you have to do is read the defense, anticipate and get the ball to a tight window on-time. In his college system, I've watched Kizer do that time after time. That to me is worth the risk to take a chance on a guy like that as long as mentally you believe he can take the next step."
Huard's take: "If I'm a decision-maker, I'm looking for a quarterback who elevated the program. Deshaun Watson did that at Clemson. I had a defensive coordinator say to me that people want to compare Louisville's Lamar Jackson and Watson and say they are the same guy. They are not. One is an NFL wide receiver; one is an NFL starting quarterback.
"Deshaun is NFL-ready. He is phenomenal off the field. He's the anti-Jay Cutler. He would be a breath of fresh air for the Bears. He would come into that organization and people would just gravitate toward him. He's a lot longer and more athletic than people think. He's very gifted athletically, and I think he's a smooth passer that makes every NFL throw. There will be a transition from their scheme at Clemson to the NFL level, but when Nick Saban says that preparing for Watson was as difficult as preparing for Cam Newton, people take notice."
The more i watch of Watson, the more i see things that drive me crazy about Cutler... -inconsistent accuracy with balls high and behind receivers more than i would like. -Indecision after 3 seconds, meaning he gets the snap and kind of just doesn't know where to go after the routes have developed. -Bad int's that are wtf throws
I'm not saying the kid is or will be bad in the NFL, but I wouldn't take him at #3...maybe the second round pick i would, or a really late 1st, but not a top ten...
You're gonna have to point me to some specific games where you see this consistently, cause I'm having trouble finding it. Is every throw perfect? LOL nope...find me a guy whose ever done that, but some of what your saying I just haven't seen.
I wasn't saying every throw was, is or needs to be perfect..just saying i noticed those things. Like his back shoulder throws he likes. And I if I was sober I would link it up for you...but just YouTube "Deshaun Watson vs"...
And as far as the Auburn game here...
His third pass alone was a wtf pass and I'm not surprised the Wr alligator armed that shit! You have a Safety AND a LB with a bulls-eye on ya. Then the 4th pass was an odd check down..then the 5th in the replay you can see he wasn't going to be on target regardless...and on and on...there was the pass waaay out of bounds, another where he was behind on the slant route which made the Wr stop...or the 3rd qtr Int...
Look i'm not trying to bust balls or or be right...it's just my opinion on what I see.
