There was no rhythm or quickness to his routes. I knew I wasn't alone in this. He was one of those perfect examples that long speed doesn't not automatically equal great separation ability. In fact, the fact that he had good long speed and still struggled with separate was really what was setting off alarms for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 He would have been a good fit on the Cowboys. They've always liked the big possession receivers. Not sure how I like him on the Jaguars. Bortles is terrible, but they could use him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Houston has to have one of the thinnest receiver groups in the NFL right now. Unless they give Watson a lot of support (who I'm not sold on at all), they aren't going anywhere IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no - yes because the offense has always been the issue in Houston. This offense hasn't put together a string of decent games since 2012, when Schaub, Johnson and Foster were the anchors. Now because the division got better, a slight improvement on offense wouldn't be enough. It had to be a significant upgrade on offense, and this current OL isn't going to afford that for anyone.

SteelKing728 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 He'll make it on another team as a #4 WR. Can he play special teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that's Jaelen's issue. I just think he has a slow release off of the LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones was boss on Slants tho. if u want to throw a 3rd jags wr into that mix how about Ernest Wilford who ran like a 4.7 but he was actually solid speed on the field.

Nope, which is why no effort was made to make something out of this guy. He's a very poor man's Alshon Jeffery, a guy who is good on 50/50 jump balls, and that's about it.
