(upbeat music)
00:03
- Let's go to a wide receiver in Green Bay
00:04
because we have given some love,
00:06
no pun intended, to the quarterback.
00:08
And we do think that there's a bright future there,
00:10
but somebody's got to catch the football.
00:11
Who's it gonna be, Joe?
00:12
- Well, Jaden Reed was a guy catching a lot of footballs
00:15
and then Romeo Dobbs had some moments too.
00:18
But if we're talking about pure talent,
00:20
Christian Watson is that guy.
00:22
He is that game breaker.
00:24
And he was just never healthy all year.
00:25
He had the hamstring issues
00:27
and then re-aggravated the hamstring issues.
00:28
So I want to chalk up 2023 to not a year
00:32
where Jordan Love wasn't any good,
00:34
'cause he was, especially after
00:36
the second half of the season.
00:38
The guy was just tremendous.
00:39
He started limiting those turnovers.
00:41
You could see he was just a different,
00:42
more confident quarterback.
00:44
He was a quarterback that went into San Francisco
00:46
in the playoffs and almost came out with a victory.
00:49
And that's super impressive.
00:50
And he also had his victory in the playoffs.
00:52
So I want to give Jordan Love a lot of credit.
00:54
And also give him credit for knowing what he did wrong
00:57
at the end of that game.
00:58
No matter what happens,
01:00
which we talked about with Sam Howe
01:01
right in the last segment,
01:02
learn to fight another down,
01:04
sometimes throw the ball away,
01:05
sometimes take a sack,
01:06
sometimes it's better to live another down
01:08
than try to make a play.
01:10
And Jordan Love knew that.
01:11
But I think Jordan Love hasn't gotten the best
01:13
out of Christian Watson yet,
01:14
not because Jordan Love can't,
01:15
but because Christian Watson just wasn't physically able
01:17
to perform up to his standard.
01:20
Now, all of a sudden,
01:20
they become a really interesting offense
01:22
with those three wide receivers.
01:23
Depending on Aaron Jones' health
01:25
or what they do in terms of drafting running back,
01:26
we'll see.
01:28
But Jordan Love has a really good grouping here.
01:31
Jaden Reed was very solid.
01:33
Romeo Dobbs, good enough.
01:35
But Christian Watson is that guy who's that game breaker.
01:37
Christian Watson is the guy,
01:39
you hit him in stride, he is gone.
01:42
He is big, he is strong, he is fast.
01:43
He has all the things you're looking
01:45
for the prototypical 2024 wide receiver.
01:47
So Watson's a guy right now
01:49
that had some injuries in his rookie year.
01:51
Aaron Rodgers got something out of him.
01:53
It was pretty exciting.
01:54
There were some moments that were stunning.
01:56
But again, it was very efficient.
01:58
So the metrics don't love him necessarily.
02:00
They think, oh, it's not sustainable.
02:01
I think it's sustainable what Jordan Love.
02:03
And I think it even could grow into something better.
02:05
Now is the time to buy
02:07
because I think a healthy Christian Watson in 2024
02:10
could be a special one.
02:11
And the last guy on this list too,
02:13
that is really worth talking about,
02:14
actually two more wide receivers really.
02:16
Josh Downs of the Indianapolis Colts.
02:19
I continue to go on and on about
02:21
what the Colts potential is.
02:24
And it really is tied into Shane Steichen.
02:26
I am excited about this guy as a head coach.
02:28
I think when you removed him from the Eagles,
02:30
you saw just how important he was.
02:32
You saw the Colts with Gardner Minshew
02:35
become a playoff caliber team.
02:37
I don't think that was a small feat.
02:39
I think a lot of that had to do with the coaching.
02:41
And I think that Josh Downs is a receiver
02:43
that really fits the mold of the arm strength
02:47
of Anthony Richardson.
02:48
And the last guy to talk about is another wide receiver,
02:51
which is Quentin Johnson, who had his rookie year go,
02:53
I think as poorly as it possibly could.
02:55
Quentin Johnson is not a perfect wide receiver,
02:57
but when you go back and watch the tape at TCU,
03:00
there's things that Quentin Johnson does well,
03:02
but Brandon Staley just did not care.
03:04
The offensive coordinator just did not care.
03:07
So at the end of the day,
03:09
why you're not getting Quentin Johnson the ball in space
03:11
and letting him in place, I don't know.
03:13
You saw him have all these screen passes
03:14
that he would catch at TCU
03:16
and then get all the yards after catch.
03:18
That's what you need to do with him.
03:20
And I think Harbaugh coming fresh out of that college game,
03:23
seeing him play as much as he did,
03:25
understanding how to utilize the best
03:27
out of these young talents,
03:28
I think it'd be a really interesting dynamic,
03:30
especially as Keenan Allen gets older,
03:32
where Quentin Johnson might get more opportunities
03:34
and with a much better offensive mind in Harbaugh
03:37
to maybe unlock some of his better potential.
