Watson, we have a problem

Got a lot of pushback on my comments about needing to move on from Watson next year in a previous post. I don’t think the occasional deep throw is worth his obvious deficiencies as a route runner and consistent separator. When you add his persistent capacity for making game altering mistakes at the worst times, I really can’t see a good argument for keeping him around.

At this point I’m willing to take a dice roll on a wicks breakout at the X spot and highlight Kraft and Reed in a much more condensed targeted Offense.

To be clear I don’t think he’s bad but I think we’ve seen enough to know Watson is not a high ceiling player. The flashes are not that frequent and are mostly relegated to the same types of plays he was able to occasionally hit his rookie year. Think he’s a fine player a team can target for deep threat help but we should prioritize our assets elsewhere.
