Four Reasons Joshua Dobbs Could be Better than Deshaun Watson

4. Decision-Making on Passes

Last week, we said that to become a better quarterback, Joshua Dobbs has to show much more patience and be smarter about avoiding hits. Although those are two areas of decision-making he needs to improve on, his pass selection is a different story.

Dobbs always does a great job of making sure to find the open man and not to kill drives. As a result, he only threw five interceptions last year.

On the other hand, Deshaun Watson threw 13 interceptions. Yes, he was eight points higher in his completion percentage, but Watson clearly showed much more of a determination to make a play on anything, regardless of whether or not something is there.

That can become a problem at times, and it causes interceptions. Even in his epic national title game performance, Watson threw a crucial interception early against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

His interception there cost his team the game. His great performance would have been better without that pick.

Meanwhile, although he struggles with accuracy, Dobbs almost always picks the right person to throw the ball to. He also throws it away at the right time.

Dobbs still makes things happens with his legs, but he is also always smart about doing that as well.

His intelligence as an aerospace engineer clearly pays off in playing the probability game on the football field. That also comes in handy down the stretch of big, tough moments. And that brings us to our next reason that Dobbs could be superior to Watson.
