Quote from article...
What many people keep coming back to is the fact that Watkins was only targeted 70 times in 15 games. That comes to 4.7 targets per game, which isn’t what you’d expect to see from a player who’s supposed to be a team’s top receiver. Jared Goff wasn’t aggressive in 2017 with very few tight-window throws, which hurt Watkins’ production.

He generated very little separation from defenders, which caused Goff to look elsewhere. Making risky throws isn’t something Sean McVay wants his quarterback to make, so if Watkins wants the ball more, he has to separate from defenders more than he did.

I agree with a lot of this however it also fails to mention the numerous times Goff failed to see a wide open Watkins. Goff isn't a tight window thrower...YET.

If Goff is to become great, he will have to master tight windows. That's just how it is.

Watkins and Goff need to grow together.
