Meh. Jimmy Miller had to pick up his slack.
His picking up Watts's slack is vastly overstated. The Stones were a band where some of the parts were often played by other members. They didn't wait around for the lead to show when Keith could play lead on rhythm on a track or when Miller could play the kit. Happened all the time.
The idea that Miller's occasional participation on the drums in someway devalues Watts is just silly. The Stones were not like that, whoever was there at the moment played.
You are talking about Charlie Watts for goodness sake.

I always felt Watts was among the most rock solid drummers in terms of delivering a consistent performance and keeping impeccable time, as is the ideal. When Rolling Stone compiled the list of the 100 Greatest Drummers and Ringo was listed, Dace Grohl was quoted as saying "Ringo played with such feel" and I agree with that assessment. When it came to Beatles songs, Ringo and George Harrison had a knack for playing the "right" fills and notes in terms of servicing the song without being overly flashy.

And I think he was a great drummer, just not nearly in the discussion of GOAT drummer.
My gold standard is Bonham, just based on the variety of things he did well, with few weaknesses - kind of the Jack Nicklaus of drumming.
But guys who were "sloppy" technique-wise, but were "right" for their band abound - Nick Mason, Ringo, Keith Moon, etc. They played with the right feel and it obviously worked for those 3 legendary bands.
I'm not necessarily going to put Charlie in that category because I think his technique was stronger than those 3, particularly, and he still played with the right feel for the Stones.
