It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Or worse it bounces off him up in the air for an int...........I recall a few of those..Watsons serviceable but a double edge sword. Hes athletic enough to get open but doesnt always make the catch.
Just pretend he comes from opposite world.
Whatever, the stats were already posted in that other thread but you're obviously too lazy to investigate anything. Watson has been in this league just as long as Baker and Smith, and hasn't proven he's better than either of them, despite playing with a much better QB and also having major opportunity after Graham left.
Over 4 years Watson *barely* has more catches and yards than the other two, despite having a vastly superior QB.
Baker shared time with Keller last year, and Smith shared time with J.Stevens last year, and despite that both had the same if not better numbers than Watson the past two seasons.
Stats or receiver skills aside, Baker is a better blocker than Watson, so Watson isn't going to get those downs. Watson needs to battle with Smith and Thomas as the TE for combo skills or receiving situations.
"Reiss sees Chris Baker locked into a role when New England uses two tight ends, presumably for his blocking skills. Watson and Smith should battle for the other spot, which includes valuable snaps in one tight end sets. Bill Belichick is reportedly "quite excited" about Smith, so Watson could potentially slip to third-string or even off the roster."
