We all agree that Watkins has potential but the fact remains that he caught 39 passes for 593 yards, although that included 8 TD’s. We all expected a helluva lot more in a contract year.
.
And it has been explained that the reason Watkins didn't have bigger numbers is a good, but still learning QB. Watkins was open. A lot and Goff when elsewhere
That is a fact.
Watkins can run proper routes.
That is a fact
Watkins can catch the damn ball
That is a fact.
Watkins is a tough target in red zone.
That is a fact
And if they have to franchise him, which won't likely be necessary, it it better to do that and have a WR who can beat good NFL corners than bring in some chumps who can maybe beat the average NFL corner but not beat the good NFL corners
Watkins is far better that his stats and though that is not a "fact". It is an opinion that is supported by facts.
Watkins was vital to Rams winning and offensive turnaround and this fantasy football mentality some have is nuts
