Just ****ing hilarious watching the trolls harp on about Watkins injury history when Robinson has missed more games due to injury.

If you're talking about that GIF series that OTWP posted, imma have to disagree. Some of those plays he was open, sure. Some of those plays though he was well covered. A step on the CB in a vertical route isn't exactly burning a guy like the comments in that GIF series suggested.

The plus side is KC has the scratch... and the room to move some of that money to next year.

3 year deal... so no dead cap. He's expensive but not a financial albatross...like the Houston contract.

KC needs to spend NOW while Mahomes is cheap..

This and some reactions around the web and radio about overpaying.

Here's what we've learned this offseason so far: you won’t get high picks for trading secondary players and you’ll pay out the ass for QBs and WR. Welcome to the NFL / Arena League

That is kinda NFL open though, unless you’re Tyreek Hill. You get a step and a half on a corner, especially the guys that he was going against, and that’s a win.

One thing you can’t argue is that Goff did a terrible job of getting him the ball on said plays.

Well sugar tits, I'll answer this question for ya.

It's because that Defense IS rebuilding. Over the next several seasons that D will continue to be rebuilt through the draft. While that occurs, the Chiefs will lean on their offense, whom they just spent the past 5 seasons building through the draft while their Defense carried the team until it aged.

After watching Alex Smith for 4 years, I understand why the fan base struggles with the idea of what constitutes an open WR.

Eh. Maybe in theory. But on a lot of those GIF's you're asking Goff to deliver an absolute perfect pass on time. Not even Mahomes is going to do that everytime.

My point being, his film of "blowing coverages wide open" is a bit of an overstatement.

I'm not freaking out but 30m guaranteed with 2 foot surgeries is something to be concerned about. That's all.

Interesting that people are on Watkins' ass for having an "injury history" when he's only missed half of an NFL season.

I can think of some Chiefs players that the fan base adores who have missed a LOT more.

Pretty hypocritical.

bigjosh · 03-13-2018, 01:14 PM

The foot injury thing is stupid.

E. Sanders had the same type of issues and has been phenomenal. Watkins has a better skillset then Sanders does as well, by a lot.

Well lets talk about each GIF, starting with the first.

The very first GIF Watkins gets a step early, but the DB is stride for stride with him at the top of the route. The ball may be slightly underthrown but that's nitpicking. It's a catchable ball put over the top of his shoulder that he should've come down with. The tight coverage is what caused the incompletion more so than the throw.

Since most of the anti-Watkins crowd seems to be the disgruntled fringe of the Alex Smith Apologists they should consider this fact when discussing Watkins' supposed "injury history"... their Dear Leader Alex Smith only played in a full 16 game season once due to various injuries before being traded to KC.

Lets look at the 2nd GIF.

He clearly beats the defenders, the ball is placed damn near perfectly. Goff led Watkins and it looks like the ball hit Watkins right in the hands.
