Agree on comping guys. Also agree Watson has a size/speed combo that is special. It's a question of whether he can do something more with that talent at this point. Comparing him to an HOF WR is premature for a guy who has played 22 games.

Agreed. Its funny I to say we can't comp guys 22 games in to a HoF but we comp Love to anyone at all 10 games in is even more silly. As I said, we are comping play style and such. We are comping guys who are evolving and improving and changing. Adams was a contested catch specialist coming out, now he is Allen Iverson putting DBs on skates. The best ankle breaker I have ever seen in the NFL. He completely changed who he was. Watson has certain things that are his calling card, and I say never a 90 catch season...but if he learns to snap off a sideline route while being a major threat to blow right by guys....he could become a 110 catch guy. I just don't think its likely for a 6-4 guy.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Like I said, comparing him to anyone who has a 80 catch season under his belt is premature in that vein. I'm comping play style. Evans is only 50/50 to make the hall at best. He just never posts the monster catch numbers. But Love has tried to hit him (unsuccessfully) many times on that fade route Evans does so well with. But Love is using it from 30 yards out. It needs to become a thing inside the 10. I'll stick with my comp. A guy who is similar in stature, gets open downfield and breaks off chunk plays more often than 10 yarders.
