As a packers fan, it's all about what they did. During the off-season, are they taking professional football seriously and putting in the work to get better or just partying too much hanging out with the females and feelings their selfs ? Only time will tell because they're both above average talent wise
Last season, Watson proved he's a competitor, and he wasn't gonna let Doubs take the #1 WR spot without a fight. Doubs is also a competitor, but he can't compete against Watson's speed.
@@erickthefantabulous1 this sounds a lot like coach talk tbh. stefon diggs and kelce love to party and are at the top of their positions. now, good thing is in GB they really dont have much to do besides football. its easier to be focused in football and avoid trouble living there rather than somewhere like miami or LV.
I love ex nfl players analyzing film and giving their take after so much time and effort put in the film room during their career. Especially when it’s all time greats like Steve Smith or Kurt Warner
Ppl have to understand .. Watson was only targeted 66 times last season .. with 41 receptions . He was number 1 in contested catches (75%) .. and he was 4th in YAC receptions . Route running can be learned no doubt . I mean let’s take Adams for an example.. he practiced his route running and became the best over time . Watson also averaged 14.9 yards a catch . You give Watson over 100 targets he’ll have over 1300 yards with those stat lines .
@@The_Handsom_Italian exactly ! That’s exactly how I’m doin the math ! Garrett Wilson literally was targeted 147 times with 83 receptions and averaged 13.1 yards a catch . With 4 TDs to his name .. yes he had crap QBs throwing to him but I can only imagine how much Christian Watson would’ve been talked about if he had 147 targets .. he would’ve absolutely pooped on Justin Jefferson’s 1400 yard rookie season
Watson got hurt on the first OTA. He was limited in practice most of the year (because of injury). I am curious how much progress he will show at practice.
We develop players in green bay. Davante Adams and Nelson were completely different players..as the years went on. Watson stop and start skills already look better..

I think agent 89 is speaking to Watson’s agility. Either way, agility is athleticism too, but ultimately doesn’t mean his work ethic is poor. We’ll see how he progresses
What? Dude came from a small school and was injured early on. He had a stretch of games where he was the most productive wr in football. Had like 7 tds in 4 games. His route running will get better. Smart as hell. Works. Physical tools. No reason to think he won’t be a top 5 wr
Rodgers really pissed me off last season with the way he treated thoes guys and no one could do anything because they allowed Aaron to outrank the Coach. He was QB and Coach. That mixed with arrogance and whatever he was upset about had locker room cancer written all over it
u getting ur narrative straight out of skip bayless or sum. locker room cancer but the jets love him, took a 35 mill paycut and literally talks about mental health and love in almost every podcast he is in. not to mention packers players love him. there is a reason so many followed him to NY.
Respectfully, I disagree hard with this take. Watson missed all of training camp & still had some significant production for a rookie. 6/4-6/5 guys with 4.3 speed don’t grow on trees and even if he doesn’t work on his craft, which clearly isn’t the case based on training camp report, his athleticism & speed will take him pretty darn far in this league. His improvement over the 2nd half of the season changed GB entire offense. His speed will open things up for both Doubs, Reed & Muskgrave/Kraft/Deguara.
This is the correct take. Also, I completely hear what Steve is saying, but Watson does have the work ethic. Also the only other WRs to have the same athleticism as him were Julio Jones and Calvin Johnson. Neither of those two were considered great route runners, but they didn’t have to be. It wasn’t how they won.
What I desperately hope they teach Watson is how to high point the ball! With that height and ability to jump through the roof they need to have him watching old films of Moss in his Vikings days and start throwing him some jump balls when they get down close to the goal line.
you literallt agreed with Steve, steve is just saying his speed will not always save him and he needs to grow route running ability. which is completely true
If anyone is considered an expert on wide receivers, it is Steve Smith. If I were the Packers staff, I would watch this. Watson, on paper, has all the tools to be GREAT. Tall, very fast and good athlete. 'So was Randy Moss. However, Moss put everything together. I am wondering if by year 3, Watson can start running better routes, catch more balls etc.?
Sitting here in 2024, this take has aged well. Watson is often hurt and Jayden Reed is starting to look like one of the premier slot receivers in the game. Steve Smith knows his stuff.
Hopefully Watson has that work ethic. Get what you’re saying tho for sure - even tho I hate it 😂 but hopefully a full off-season in the gym and in the league will give him that chance to really be honing his routes.
watson is going to be one of the best wrs in the nfl. The top wrs in the nfl usually don't run great routes. Tyreke Hill doesn't run great routes, AJ Brown doesn't run amazing routes and those are the top 2 wr yardage wise in the nfl this year. Hes so fast and creates so much separation he doesn't have to run good routes. Randy Moss ran bad routes too. When your that athletic and fast its hard to stop regardless of how polished their routes are. There is no way doubs and the other wrs on packers are anywhere close to watson and never will be. Pretty much any wr in the nfl doesn't have his upside. His routes aren't bad like DK Metcalf. They are good enough.
All you have to do is read this: "After having 10 total touches during the season's first eight weeks, Watson has scored seven touchdowns on 17 touches over that span. Watson's recent pace has placed him with NFL legend and Hall of Fame wideout Randy Moss in the league record books." Both were tied with 8 touchdowns over a 4 game span during their rookie seasons. Did Randy Moss ever learn to be a great route runner? No. But he was 6'4" and ran a 4.25 forty with a 47 inch vertical. Watson came into the league weighing at least 10lbs more than Moss. 6'4" and ran a 4.36 forty with a 38.5 inch vertical. Last year he had 9 touchdowns with 41 catches and 7 rushes so 48 total touches. In Deebo Samuel's great 2021 season he had 14 total touchdowns in 136 touches. So Samuel had a touchdown in every 9.7 touches in his great year and Watson had a touchdown in every 5.3 touches his rookie year. Justin Jefferson is the #1 fantasy receiver in the league bar none. In his 132 touches last year he scored 9 touchdowns. That's 1 touchdown in ever 14.7 touches. If Watson gets say 90 catches this season. And let's be modest and say he gets at least 20 rushes to go with that. He could end up with 1,300 yards receiving and 220 yards rushing.
Disrespectful to randy Moss to even compare Watson to him. Stats are cute, randy Moss never had a drop issues, or health issues, or talent issue. He was the best player on the field when he stepped on the field with a Hall of Fame wr named chris Carter. At this point I don't even know why Watson gets reps over doubs or reed.
I'd love to see 5'9.amik Robertson try and cover randy Moss 1 on 1 on a jumps ball like we saw in the raiders game this season 😂 I'm sure moss would end up on his ass like watson
@@see-me-9255Most rookies dont run great routes. Thats the whole point of making the year 2 jump. Obviously hes good enough to produce. He just needs to sharpen his game. No reason to think he cant.
@@williamhermann6635rookies can run great routes..Jefferson ,chase,olave,Garrett Wilson ,cooper kupp ,AB all ran great routes coming out of college .and that’s just to name a few
@@see-me-9255 Lol those are extreme outliers. Davante Adams wasnt some insane route runner as a rookie and hes as good or better than every player you named which is the whole point. He got a lot better. Watson can keep getting better too just like so many other players have.
@blkyyk21t3 he wasn't wrong. He just pointed out the things that Watson will need to be worked on for sure. He also needs to not put his head in the way of tacklers. Using your head to prevent tackles causes concussion. He needs to learn to use stiff arms instead
I wonder if DuBose will even make the roster tbh…Watson can be THAT dude in Green Bay and the Watson/Doubs combo I think will be a good one in the years to come. If he stays healthy and plays a full season watch out! PS I don’t think Davante Adams was even looked at his first couple seasons like he’d be where he is now…I think Watson is criminally undervalued and this LaFleur offense can make him shine…
If Rodgers didn't have something against Watson after the big drop at the Vikings in 2022, Watson would have had 1,000 yds his first season. Doubs still has the problem of getting separation, and he probably had more drops in 2022 than Watson did. I thought I heard, Watson caught the last 21 consecutive passes thrown to him in 2022, that were catchable. Everyone needs to admit, Watson is #1, and Doubs is #2. I do want Watson to watch all the Randy Moss receptions.
rodgers didnt had a problem w watson, watson missed a lot of games to injury and tbh he did dropped like 3 TDs and ran the wrong route a couple of times in the beginning of the season. i wouldnt throw him the ball either. now, i do think watson will break out and people are trying to force too much the romeo doubs wr1 narrative. its not close. watson has the talent to be top 5 in the nfl if he puts everything together.
Your argument about not running routes well relying on speed alone don’t include that this was his first year as a second round pick sharing snaps with Lazard while injured early in the season. The hype is there cause he’s in year two as the best wr on the roster with expectation of the next step. Green Bay does wr development pretty well
Steve Smith Sr is one of the greatest WRs ever I grew up watching him just frustrate DBs every week. I think what you are forgetting though is Devante Adams struggled his 1st 3 years. He was the same ultra athletic guy who thought his athleticism would just generate success. That doesn’t mean Watson will become that dominant machine like Adams but Watson like Adams response will take criticism. He got roasted the first half of last season for his drop issues then the 2nd half of the season he looked completely different almost comfortable. The thing about ultra talented guys is sometimes when they do put in work they grow at an insanely fast rate and doesn’t take long for them to make people eat their words. Question isnt: is Watson WR1? of course he is. The question is: whether he is willing to work harder to keep it; because “work ethic beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard “
@SteveSmith why does WR- J. Reagor Suck like pop cycles after Him and Peter Warwick I don’t trust College tape other than Justin Herbert’s tape I knew he was a beast before ESPN
Would he have said the same thing about a young Randy Moss?? He gets by on his athletic ability..well so what if he does..hes got offseasons and offseasons ahead to improve all that stuff..sounds like a little guy hating on a big guy.
Jordy absolutely was a true #1. He was drafted to a team that already had Jennings and Driver. And he surpassed them both. Problem was he always had other good receivers around him so he wasnt getting the same 170+ target seasons and yet he still averaged 80 catches, 1200 yds, and 10 tds per season from 2011-2016 (minus 2015 ACL year). He was a monster in the super bowl too. Jordy was far better than he ever got credit for.
@@williamhermann6635Donald driver had 6 straight 1k+ seasons and had more yards and the end of his career. Jordans Nelson was not but and was overrated. He wasn't elite like Marvin Harrison, Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald and others.
@@lilcourtny08 The ONLY thing Driver had on Jordy was longevity. Jordy was a 23 year old rookie who didnt start till he was 25-26 and his prime was relatively short. But he was far better in his prime than Driver was during his. 3 13+ td seasons speaks for itself. You ever look at his 2011 season stat line? Dude had 1200 yds and 15 tds on less than 100 targets. Far more dominant than anything Driver ever did. Jordy never got close to the credit he deserved.
champ bailey don't care who it is they cant' run with him. he just does crossing routes an they cant stay with him. Hes to fast. He doesn't have to run great routes. When someone is that fast you just have them zag across the field. Even the top route runners they dont' separate from cbs like Watson does. None of them of them had 7 tds in 4 weeks. Only Watson did it cause he separate and get open with his speed. SAme thing with Julio Jones never ran great routes. But he could separate with his speed or his size. SAme with Mike Evans. DK Metcalf doesn't separate. Doesn't matter if he goes deep, or short routes his routes are so bad he just can't separate like he should. DK Metcalf would make sense but regardless of the route if you watch Watson on his highlights he still separates from the cbs that they can't even touch him sometimes and hes just gone. People say he will get better with his route running. He probably wont but with his speed it just doesn't matter. Why randy moss and dk metcalf and watson fall in drafts. They worry about the route running but they are so fast it don't matter.
Listen up Men we need to hire each-other and freeze out the Women they got all the Corporate jobs and Computer jobs when they can’t even fix a paper jam 😂 and they want to run they mouth these day calling us broke😅
I think this year is where we learn what he truly is. Rodgers is notoriously hard on Rookies and Rodgers had a bad year last year, not to mention all his negativity about his personal situation bleeding over. Watson is going to have a QB throwing to him that’s still running the offense that was game planned for, not Rodgers hero ball. All these young receivers are going to get targets this year and I think this is the year to watch, Rodgers ghosted Watson for a month because he dropped that first ball. It was som BS and we all know it.
There was one rookie that Rodgers kept feeding the ball to, even through all the dropped passes, and that was Davante Adams. And Rodgers had an abundance of patience with D. Adams for his first three seasons. If Rodgers had that kind of patience with Watson in 2022, Watson would have had 1,000 yds receiving.
I think you need to give Watson a chance to improve his routes. Already he looks more refined this year compared to last year.
Looks more refined how? He hasn't played yet lol.
STeve Smith has some bad takes. He was a great football player but not good when he observes.
He’s chocking this season for sure
0:35 week 12 of 2023-2024 and he's absolutely on point lol
I like that Watson still broke out despite his injuries. A lot of rookies get injured and don't get caught up.

The thing about ultra talented guys is sometimes when they do put in work they grow at an insanely fast rate and doesn’t take long for them to make people eat their words. Question isnt: is Watson WR1? of course he is. The question is: whether he is willing to work harder to keep it; because “work ethic beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard “
@SteveSmith why does WR- J. Reagor Suck like pop cycles after Him and Peter Warwick I don’t trust College tape other than Justin Herbert’s tape I knew he was a beast before ESPN
2nd best measurables all time only second to Calvin Hill. Now to get coached.
Calvin Johnson
I don't know. Randy Moss has gotta be at, or near the top.
Jayden Reed is gonna be a star .
I’m gonna come back to this because respectfully you’re going to be so wrong about Watson.
I don’t get the argument… watson was a rookie, if he even steps up his game by 20% this year his athleticism will be what makes him top 10.
He is so wrong about Watson. Watson is the next WR superstar. This guy is a beast
He’s been right
no
Give the man a break he just turned 24 a couple months ago
Special athletism can’t be taught. Route running can lol.
Would he have said the same thing about a young Randy Moss?? He gets by on his athletic ability..well so what if he does..hes got offseasons and offseasons ahead to improve all that stuff..sounds like a little guy hating on a big guy.
randy Moss rookie year he put up 69 catches for 1300 yards with 17 Tds, their not comparable
All factual
Jordy Nelson wasn't a TRUE true #1. But he got close. And it took a while.
Jordy absolutely was a true #1. He was drafted to a team that already had Jennings and Driver. And he surpassed them both. Problem was he always had other good receivers around him so he wasnt getting the same 170+ target seasons and yet he still averaged 80 catches, 1200 yds, and 10 tds per season from 2011-2016 (minus 2015 ACL year). He was a monster in the super bowl too. Jordy was far better than he ever got credit for.
@@williamhermann6635he came back from the acl tear to lead the league in TD’s the next season lol
@@bowlofsoup12 Yes he did. He scored 13+ tds 3 different seasons.
@@williamhermann6635Donald driver had 6 straight 1k+ seasons and had more yards and the end of his career. Jordans Nelson was not but and was overrated. He wasn't elite like Marvin Harrison, Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald and others.
@@lilcourtny08 The ONLY thing Driver had on Jordy was longevity. Jordy was a 23 year old rookie who didnt start till he was 25-26 and his prime was relatively short. But he was far better in his prime than Driver was during his. 3 13+ td seasons speaks for itself. You ever look at his 2011 season stat line? Dude had 1200 yds and 15 tds on less than 100 targets. Far more dominant than anything Driver ever did. Jordy never got close to the credit he deserved.
I feel like Rodgers held the ball to long
Dubose injured as we speak 😂
chase claypool #2 loading
So you’re saying he’s good but not good enough? Got it
Everyone that drafted him in fantasy all upset in this comment section 😂
Pause 😂
Doesnt even know jayden reeds name and is commenting that he"ll surprise people lol. Kept calling him jaylen
champ bailey don't care who it is they cant' run with him. he just does crossing routes an they cant stay with him. Hes to fast. He doesn't have to run great routes. When someone is that fast you just have them zag across the field. Even the top route runners they dont' separate from cbs like Watson does. None of them of them had 7 tds in 4 weeks. Only Watson did it cause he separate and get open with his speed. SAme thing with Julio Jones never ran great routes. But he could separate with his speed or his size. SAme with Mike Evans. DK Metcalf doesn't separate. Doesn't matter if he goes deep, or short routes his routes are so bad he just can't separate like he should. DK Metcalf would make sense but regardless of the route if you watch Watson on his highlights he still separates from the cbs that they can't even touch him sometimes and hes just gone. People say he will get better with his route running. He probably wont but with his speed it just doesn't matter. Why randy moss and dk metcalf and watson fall in drafts. They worry about the route running but they are so fast it don't matter.
He a rookie bro gonna be coached my pros lol jusy wait until he does run better routes with his size
Listen up Men we need to hire each-other and freeze out the Women they got all the Corporate jobs and Computer jobs when they can’t even fix a paper jam 😂 and they want to run they mouth these day calling us broke😅
Do we listen to the midget? Or listen to our eyes? As long as C wat stays healthy he's our WR 1
Your eyes lie to you because you’re biased
Thuggery what
If stays healthy he should easily have over 1k yards now that he QB who won't ignore him cuz he drop a pass
I think this year is where we learn what he truly is. Rodgers is notoriously hard on Rookies and Rodgers had a bad year last year, not to mention all his negativity about his personal situation bleeding over. Watson is going to have a QB throwing to him that’s still running the offense that was game planned for, not Rodgers hero ball. All these young receivers are going to get targets this year and I think this is the year to watch, Rodgers ghosted Watson for a month because he dropped that first ball. It was som BS and we all know it.
There was one rookie that Rodgers kept feeding the ball to, even through all the dropped passes, and that was Davante Adams. And Rodgers had an abundance of patience with D. Adams for his first three seasons. If Rodgers had that kind of patience with Watson in 2022, Watson would have had 1,000 yds receiving.
Do you have no clue to what you're talking about Christian Watson can make it happen you have no clue to what you're saying
Very detailed analysis here.
Reeeeeeed
Man loved smith back in the day he sounds like a washed up poor mans chris broussard throw a dog a bone no one wants to hear about romeo
He literally is coming off his rookie year where he had injuries lmao
4:40 great reminder that things get real in a hurry if you’re not careful 🥹 had me dying laughing though 🤣
