For me it was watching Leroy Kelly return a punt from our 20 to the other teams 20 bobbling the ball and nearly falling every step of the way.

Same exact play here! He was bent over running along the sideline and taking shots but put his left hand down on the ground, maintained his balance and just kept going forward. I remember in the living room I saw that play with my Dad & Uncle Lloyd when I was a little tike and was hooked.

Wow... an NFL player saying what I've been saying the entire time.

I don't care about stats if we're winning. In fact, it's better to win and "...have plenty to work on..." as Monken said.

We all see Watson's shortcomings yet we're winning and it's without a run game. His strong suit is not throwing Int's and giving games away, Browns not beating the Browns, even though our OLine often screws up. But they're young in spots. It's part of the unit getting better. The whole team being young and getting better.

I expected a messy start with improvement as we went along. I'll take the winning with the improvement any day of the week.

just wait until they put it all together... This team is going to be dangerous..
 
I wrote it in another thread, but the reality is defenses are dropping 1-2 extra players into the box to stuff the run and make DW beat them. Up to this point he has been able to hit on 1 key drive per game. Luck, not skill and definitely not sustainable. Put a QB behind that OL that is willing to take shots, doesn't require being in shotgun, and has real desire and I think this team is actually playoff quality.

Funny thing is, it also reminds me of "The Replacements" when Martel crossed the line. He had no 'heart/desire', which then adversely affected the team. Sure, it's a movie. But I have been on teams with leaders that didn't inspire, and they all underachieved.

Sanders may not be experienced, or even very good, but he has drive. I think that may make a difference. (Gabriel as well)

Additionally, Sanders gets some leash because he's young and has a chance to develop.

Watson is supposed to be the vet you plug in and run with. Even after every excuse, knocking the rust off, he hasn't played, he's back from injury, he's getting used to a new coach/system, he needs better this and that ... he still ain't it.

He's earned the chance to keep starting because in the wins, the D and ST's did well, and he had the-1-drive to do it.

I'm not saying it's all on him, but you watch Allen, Burrow, and any of the top-15 QB's, and they're elevating their team.
Watson isn't.
