And he averaged 11.9 the year before which is higher than 3 out of 5 of Graham's average ypc. Ypc is something that fluctuates dramatically each year and is dependent on many factors (highest being where the ball is caught).

Hell Graham had his carrer low last year and Watson had his fourth highest in 2013. You sure do love to nitpick one thing at a time to try to make your case.

Moving on I did some quick math based on Graham's average targets since 2011 and Watson's catch rate last year. If Watson and Hill see 75% of Graham's targets and it's divided equally among them they would each see about 52 more targets.

Figuring Watson's catch rate and his prior production the last two year's he would get about 54 catches.

Now that's assuming Hill doesn't become the "next Graham" and suck up much more of that share. But in that situation it's still a win for us.

Aside from the reverse handoffs, I've been wanting to see more of Hill. I really think he can be a stud. But Watson is old and slow as frick. He's not someone we can count on. I don't mind not targeting a TE in the draft since I think it's the 2nd lest important position on offense behind FB, but Watson is not going to be a good player in 2015. Adequate at best.

when you catch 20 passes in a season, 2 or 3 catches can inflate a YPC.

6.8 is terrible. Meaning they didnt even trust him to run routes downfield.

lol he isnt sniffing 54 catches. He's caught that many balls once in his career.

Honestly if we had another capable TE on the roster, his job would be in jeopardy big time.
