Part 5/8:
Watson’s physical state is another critical issue, as he has faced two Achilles injuries which severely limit his mobility and athleticism—traits that were paramount when he excelled in Houston. Analysts point out the longstanding challenge Watson now faces, having played only a handful of games over the previous four years. The nature of his injuries complicates any potential return to form, with lingering effects on his physical capabilities.
The argument is presented that while he may only be 29 years old, the repeated injuries and lack of playing time could mean he never returns to his peak performance. NFL quarterbacks rely on muscle memory and familiarity with game situations, and Watson's extended absences have eroded these fundamental skills.
