I'm surprised by how much Seau was able to add while he was healthy.

I think BB handled the Indy loss this year much better than he handled Denver last year.

Bottom line is we went 14-5 in what is considered a rebuilding year.. overall despite our loss in Indy it was a very good year.. looking forward to TC.

Most were below this mark. Many (including me) were in the 60-70 range. A few had higher expectations.

So based on the games he played Watson met or exceeded the expectations of most fans here - and THAT was in a situation where for the bulk of the season he was the only real receiving threat, constantly double teamed that often prevented him from getting any meaningful yards after the catch.

So in my opinion Watson exceeded expectations. Let's see what he can do with a good WR corps behind him before we write off his paltry 49 catches.

not a surprise to me at all
ive been saying for three yrs to go after some young lbs
