Watson Torn ACL In practice!

[BearFan2000]

It does stink to see him go down with an ACL when he was playing well and providing a spark for that team. From what I can tell he's a good kid so you hate to see it.

 

The NFL is full of unknowns. Had we drafted him perhaps the injury doesn't occur, maybe it happens in preseason maybe later down the road. These are fluky injuries. Perhaps that he had an ACL injury in college played into Paces decision to lock in on Trubisky but it's something that is difficult to predict.

 

There's no question however that Watson was more set up to succeed than Trubisky. Watson came into much better offense. Better weapons, better line, better coaching, etc. Outside of White we're starting no names that would not likely see the field on other teams let alone start. Having Cam and White both out hurts. It's also a little annoying seeing how well Deonte Thompson has done with Buffalo considering we cut him and kept Wheaton who's done nothing.
