I think thats a tougher catch than it appears on the surface. Far tougher than the OP pretends. I think you drop any wr into that and the catch rate is very low.

And any decent pass anywhere near him is a long completion. I said he was five yards open (because that's what Romo said). It was closer to three yards open.

I said he was five yards open (because that's what Romo said). It was closer to three yards open. Yea. Easily a huge catch with anything near him. It’s hard to catch on my phone but looks like if he simply carries his stride the ball would’ve landed, what, about 7 yards behind him? To adjust that far- from a full sprint to near dead stop in the couple of strides it took is not near as easy as some want to believe. There was no way he had an ounce of consideration for a back shoulder throw there, and that was behind even for that to be a comp point for detractors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the problem is that Watkins is “any WR.” People compared him to Julio Jones. It has become very clear he is not in that tier of receivers. I do think he will ask for and possibly get the money that receivers in that tier make. He has no allegiance to a particular team, he’ll go to the highest bidder. I’m happy to not be that bidder and I’ll take the valuable pick over the one-year rental. Nothing against him as a player, he’s still pretty good. He won’t carry an offense like the true elites do, and he cares more about protecting his body than making a spectacular catch which is fairly rare for him. He’s a pretty solid #1 that will end up overpaid. Edited November 27, 2017 by HappyDays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't shy away from contact (as evidenced by his 1st catch today) and has made great catches in his NFL career with both the Bills and now the Rams.

Exactly...the OP is literally trying to create a narrative that fits his negative opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most made that comp point on their first couple years as a rebuttal to him being called a bum, and a #3 that hadn’t accomplished anything. Even you said top half of the #1 receiver rankings. If we are debating whether he’s 5-10 or 10-15 I think that you get a different caliber of argument than is he a high end starter or is he a rotational bench player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because of watkins’ lack of production and the constant injuries he suffered when he was here, especially compared to what we have up for him. He was and is a total disappointment. In LA, he’s turning himself into a pretty solid decoy/3rd WR option (after Woods and Cupp). I can’t see any team paying him no. 1 WR money. that said, I’m not blaming him for that interception against NO on the Goff underthrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
