Watson looks like he'd be willing to take the shots down the field that Alex misses out on. What he would have to improve on is his ball placement so that our WRs and RBs and Kelce can get YAC.

That lack of velocity makes those windows that much smaller.

It doesn't hamper Smith, but I'd imagine thats a reason why he isn't aggressive.
