Niners Nation on Jordan Watkins

Watkins: great effort on contested catches but missed two A+ throws; variance issue.

Watkins is described as cautiously optimistic in this game. He made a great fingertip grab in the third quarter where he dove for a throw. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Watkins was wide open down the seam on a play that was underthrown; if hit in stride, it would arguably be a touchdown. On his first incomplete pass, it was a great release to get open but he didn't secure the catch. The same is true for his end zone target. Both were A+ throws that he should have caught. The source notes if you simulate his final two targets 100 times, he probably catches it 97 times, but the Niners were on the wrong end of variance.
