Watson's slow progression and decision-making style compounds protection issues.

Watson's early struggles stem from his inability to execute the NFL's fundamental quarterback progression: going through the first two reads while in the drop back and throwing when hitting the back foot. Even at his best, this has not been Watson's game, which leads to more sacks and plays that look like "running for your life."
