I've always been a fan of his very special athletic talent and coolness under pressure in a game, even when he was wearing us out. That's why I consider him a more complete college QB than Trevor Lawrence. When his back is against the wall and the chips are down, Watson plays his best. However, I've never appreciated and quite frankly always despised his "Look at Me" over-the-top celebrations after he executed a big play. Celebrating with team success is one thing, but shooting your arrow (a la his hero Cam) or dancing your showboat dance is quite another. Any player who celebrates himself constantly is usually a self-centered jerk, with no thought for the team except as a vehicle for his own glory. Self-absorbed, me-first people eventually trip over the line and expose their true self and motivation. For 3 years Dabo droned on and on endlessly about Deshaun's high character, which led me to wonder why that was necessary. I don't know whether he's guilty or innocent of the alleged charges, and I honestly hope that he is truly innocent, but self-centered folks invariably convince themselves that rules are made for the other suckers. Regardless, I'm guessing that every case will be settled out of court. If any of them actually do go to trial, I seriously doubt that he will ever be found guilty because the real evidence wouldn't stand up in court. If any of the cases ever do see the inside of a courthouse, I'm sure Watson would be looking for a completely hung jury.
