If one of them was weak there is a good chance the other one is too. Like I said, he probably just doesn't have the body cut out for the pounding of pro football.

Like many of us, he could have been pointing to a few years down the road to have everything in place for a good run at the Lombardi. In retrospect, the Chiefs should have geared up the defense for this season, but who knew that Mahomes would be an instant hit or that the Chiefs would win nine of their first ten with a very tough schedule? At the time, Watkins seemed like another fast option in the offense. In retrospect, the Chiefs needed to shore up the D for this year. No one is calling for the resignation of Veach, but I don't think it was the best judgement on his part. I don't think it can be simply ignored and I am sure Clark is making a mental note of it. You can use the term "retrospect", but he received a lot of criticism for the decision then and he will receive more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could possibly happen at 12-0, but doubtful because we would've had to win a game by 3 or less at some point and we just can't have that.

Many were critical of the price paid. None can say if the Chiefs won any games because Watkins was here, but he had a few where he made big contributions and in all the games he played, he deflected coverage away from Hill or Kelce.

I don't disagree with that, and my concern at the time wasn't even based on injury history. I just wanted to use the money spent on Watkins to improve the defence.

It seems to me that they thought David Amerson, Fuller and Nelson combined with the drafting of Watts and the return of Berry would be enough to make the secondary better. Then they spent all their high picks on defense also. I don't think you can say that Veach ignored defense because of the Watkins signing. It just hasn't worked out.

A 72.7% catch percentage which is good enough for #2 amongst recievers with more than 29 catches. Before you go on about his contract, it's not what YOU deem appropriate but what the TEAM deems appropriate compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
