This game is Exhibit A why you don't spend a bunch of money to pay Will Fuller. Watson makes average WRs look really good...Fuller is a good receiver and he'll get paid somewhere, but his inability to stay on the field (for whatever reason) isn't worth it....and we need to be directing money towards that defense!!!
Hey Deshaun, you know that instant chemistry you had with Hansen? A big target to throw to that you liked? Yeah about that:
You can say that about Hopkins then. Watson make good WRs GREAT and average WRs good. Fuller is an Elite talent with Watson throwing to him. You need an Elite WR to help the lesser WRs.
Is Fuller as good Hopkins? No, he has a different skill set than Hopkins. Hopkins may have the best hands in football. However, Fuller has something Hopkins has never had: Elite Speed. That speed makes him dangerous. You can see Fuller growing into that #1 role. You can see Cooks and Fuller starting to really working off one another. Fuller can be the #1 WR in a system with Cooks, Coutee, and Cobb.
Bad teams always get those first round draft picks. We also had to deal with their season ending injuries. Every time Deahaun runs around I pray he doesn't tear an ACL again, since he's already done that twice at such a young age. Win or lose they will never have to work a day in their life after leaving this team.
Problem is despite his elite speed (and vastly improved hands) he's made of glass. Imo he's a high end 2. Cooks is solid and I like what I saw out of Coutee if he can hang onto the ball. Cobb is worthless. That group lacks a top flight possession receiver like Nuk who you can always go to.
Glad to hear this since I haven't watched any games since week 4. This organization just makes football so unfun.
I agree on the organization being an absolute dumpster fire. Watson has been noticeably better since BOB left. I thought he was close to plateauing but not at all. He is making more big plays without turning the ball over. He has 15 touchdowns and 1 interception 2,200 yards and a rating of 118 in 7 games
