Ok...let’s start with your first sentence...even if what you say is true, he is a far more efficient passer than Allen at this stage in their development anyway...so your point is moot..that’s like comparing Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker to someone who doesn’t use the force- suggesting he can only lift his fighter part way out of the swamp, he loses his temper, and gets his ass kicked by Vader...yeah, but the point is he’s still able to see into the future, telepathically communicate with others, while also able to levitate things with his freaking mind! so while you can criticize him all you want for not being a perfect Jedi at that point in his development, Luke was still way more bad ass than the average person lol...
Second sentence...I ain’t even gonna try to front...Hopkins is the truth lol...that being said, coming out of school Watson’s development was already was ahead of Allen’s, and continues to be so at this time...and he is just a more consistent passer on basic and long throws.
