From the article

quarterback Deshaun Watson will be leading the offense in his first regular-season game in almost two years... he was the definition of not good, with an EPA/dropback of -0.14 in 2022, -0.09 in 2023, and -0.25 in 2024. What's more, that number in 2024? It was the lowest of any quarterback in the past two seasons.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Watson returns after two years out with historically poor EPA/dropback metrics and durability concerns.

Watson returns for his first regular-season game in almost two years on September 13 against Jacksonville after missing 49 of 68 games since 2022 due to suspension, injuries (shoulder, torn Achilles, re-tear), and contract dispute. His EPA/dropback has been consistently poor: -0.14 in 2022, -0.09 in 2023, and -0.25 in 2024, the lowest of any quarterback in the past two seasons. The source notes he is not the same quarterback he was in Houston and likely never will be, with numbers backing the idea of permanent decline.
