You're acting like me pointing out that Watson has been bad in contested catch situations(and in general) is some sort of controversial opinion when a large majority of Packer fans would agree with that statement.
That's not what's happening here. In fact, no one is saying Watson is good. We're pointing to specific plays. You're just being stubborn and refusing to acknowledge them because you don't like to blame Jordan Love for anything. That's why when asked if you think he should jump higher by insisting that was an actual contested catch "opportunity" you came over the top with rando tweets like I can't find a million of them that say Jordan Love can't hit the broad side of a barn.
How many times do I have to say this has absolutely nothing to do with Jordan Love. Several of these plays are contested because of a bad throw by Love. I'm comparing Watson to the other WRs on the roster who are also playing with Jordan Love. Jordan Love is a constant in this equation for every WR.
You were all about aDOT affecting completion percentage earlier this year, and Watson leads that category with players with 30 or more targets this season by a WIDE margin. But that doesn't fit your narrative, so you've thrown that out, equalized all route trees and opportunities among all receivers even though that's not a thing, and pointed explicitly to a rating when targeted, and ignored context.
Receivers DON'T receive the same type of targets. That's why they have different names, X, Z, and slot.
Watson isn't good. He's an athletic dude who can run in a straight line. That's his skill set. Love struggles down field, he struggles on the boundary, and we saw what an accurate QB who had his own issues because of injury, make use of that skill set last season. The blame falls on both, but blindly just attributing it to Watson being bad, as stated, ignores the other side of the coin.
