Moving on from Watkins is one that should've been made, IMO.
You can't carry luxury items if you also hope to have premier talents at 6+ spots on the field.

You both are correct. You can't afford the luxury most of the time in this league BUT you make exceptions when you as a coach see the difference a player makes with just his presence on the field and how handicapped a defense is when this player's presence and ability confirm the handicap in the defense either in that player's actual production or indirect production as the decoy. Reid goes back and forth with his play calling making Hill or Watkins the decoy and it drives defenses NUTS !!
