You can take it however you want, I went through and watched the videos RS uploaded and acknowledged which ones I thought were catchable and weren't catchable. I don't know what you mean for reasons that they are catchable or not, some hit him in the hands, some he needed to do a better job of fighting through defenders, some he mistimed his adjustment, etc. This is common stuff. You seem to think none of these are catchable, so my assumption is then if you went back and watched every Doubs contested catch opportunity you'd feel very similar no? Or am I wrong about that and you think Watson is just graded harsher then everyone else?
If a ball is thrown behind you and you're at a dead sprint, I think boiling it down to, "eh, you need to be better at adjusting" is a cop out in the highest. I think if you look at Doubs contested catch opportunities, those balls are just better throws with him being more open because he has a deeper route tree that he excels at than just a go. That's the context I've specifically been speaking to over and over.
We can acknowledge that Love forces balls in bad situations to Watson more than he does other receivers. I think that's a pretty obvious thing that we can all see. It is in that context that I'm viewing this rather than oh, PFF says this was a contested catch opportunity, and then making them all equal just because. In making all contested catch opportunities equal, you are actively turning a blind eye to the specificity of football.
So to clarify you do believe Watson is getting graded more harshly than other WRs are? If that's the case then I'll disagree with you but atleast I can understand your viewpoint
