I don't know that everyone is in love with Watson, it's just we know we have the best offensive mind in football and he likes to mix up personnel groups and it's worked for him for 20+ years now.
We have talented WRs and they still go out there and run plays where it's 3 TEs on the field and it's still a pass play. Noah Gray played more snaps than all our WRs except Watson and no one's complaining about that. It's not like Watson has been a liability out there. He's making plays when called upon. Reid obviously likes that he can run block and probably knows the offense as well as any WR. Said this last week but Reid is going to play guys who know the offense and execute it the way he wants. It's not always about pure production.
