One missed pick isn't costing anyone a championship though. Heck if someone told me I could forfeit my 3rd rounder and in exchange all of my other picks would stay healthy I would snap accept that. Lots of ways to grab a spot starter to cover for a single guy.
Right, but that wasn't what you asked. Watkins alone isn't going to cost anyone a league.
Yeah, pretty ridiculous statement/discussion that started this really. Almost everyone has at least one if not multiple busts from the first few rounds on their team.
This!
Goff is terrified to throw downfield. Goff stares down his receiver from the moment the ball hits his hands. Doesn't progress through options well. And early on (obviously) is in love with Kupp. If I were an optimist, I'd say that he just needs more time playing with him to get more comfortable.
People holding onto this sentiment are admirable.
Good post. He did have the nice play up the sideline to Everett and got the ball knocked out of his hands another time trying to wait for something. Part of the ardor for Kupp may come from the playcalling too. They got a nice gain on that short pass underneath to Watkins. I don't know if he's just running a lot of deep routes, but you would think they'd more overtly try to get the ball into Watkins' hands the way they run plays that appear designed for other guys.ShamrockPride said:
Yes--I watched the game--and Sammy didn't look bad. You have to remember that Goff is a relatively inexperienced qb that is showing improvement--but still has a long way to go. You also have to remember that Sammy came to the Rams at the very last minute and him and Goff are still trying to develop chemistry. You mix that in with the fact that Norman was shadowing Watkins a lot--and the only way Watkins would have had a good game is if he had one really big play on a busted coverage or something of that matter. Heck--look at how quiet Norman kept Alshon week 1.dipandglide said:
I'd love to give you the stat line argument, but again I can't say I've noticed one from Sammy in a couple years.
My sentiment is that he has elite talent. If you watch him play when he is on the field it is blatantly obvious to anyone who knows how to discern good WR play from bad WR play. Other than staying healthy, I'd be curious as to how you are reaching your conclusion that he isn't an elite talent. What doesn't he do well? I'd love to hear your assessment.
This is the second post where you attempt to frame your knowledge of football as superior in some way. Or that you are the only one watching the games each weekend. I love this schtick. Never gets old.
Maybe my football knowledge is superior? Certainly everyone on these forums does not have the exact same level of football knowledge.This is the second post where you attempt to frame your knowledge of football as superior in some way.

What doesn't he do well? Produce. Live up to all the comparisons to greats, labels, and hype people like you heave upon him going on 4 years now.
I'll leave you alone with your sentiment.
I wouldn't say he's elite at everything, but I think the combination of skills and athleticism that he has shown make him an elite talent overall at the position. He has elite route running skills and is excellent on both short and long routes. Very few WRs are so good at so many aspects of the game and have so few weaknesses. Here is my assessment:
Where da haters now? This guy in the blink of an eye just threw 20 PPR points on da board. Feeddddd theeee maaaannnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES I love it!
