Watkins didn't lead the team in TDs but Sun brings a valid point that he did lead all receivers in that category. That's nothing to sneeze at.
We also know that Snead highly values TD production. That was the given justification for Austin's deal.
43 I think you'll have to come to grips with the fact that Sammy's late arrival was a huge factor in his production this year. Both McVay and Watkins mentioned it in their closing commentary on the season.
Perhaps his lateness on the scene was a “huge factor” in his production, dz. As good a theory as any, I guess.
But I maintain that it might have been a bigger factor than it should have been. That’s the distinction I’m trying to illustrate.
Yeah, after I posted, I started wondering if that was your main point.
He clearly overestimated when he said that he could learn the offense in two weeks.
I don't think that means he has a learning disability or such like that you suggested. People just learn at different rates.
I'm sure S&M will factor that - the good and the bad - into how much they should offer him.
Last year they projected that Woods would surpass his limited production in Buff. and thrive in McVay's scheme. They were right. They'll likely have to do a similar projection with Watkins.
You are a class act, dz.
Discussions with you are always both interesting and educational. Always a pleasure, sir!
