Christian Watson’s family has notoriously been very vocal on people’s poor play this year, and love to point blame at everyone except Christian Watson. Here’s the latest example

Takes me back to the days of Greg Jennings sister.

Those tweets were absolutely hilarious

What a weekend that was!

damn I forgot about that 🤣

What happened? I was too young lol

I was extremely disappointed in her Twitter when Greg's QBs were Christian Ponder and Josh Freeman.

Lmaooooo

I mean that's funny, but damn does that woman love her brother.

If Watson didn’t deserve blame, Love would be finding him wide open making easy throws and catches. Guy is never open and when the ball does come his way in coverage, he lets the DB compete for the ball and usually win.

why would you throw the ball to a wr that is covered and how would that absolve jordan of blame?
1
Watson is routinely open. Unfortunately only 53% of the passes Love throws to him are deemed a catchable ball.
-51
Idk about routinely but when he is, the ball doesn’t get there

Well he’s tied with Adams, Olave, Metcalf and Godwin as the 17th most open WR in the nfl. Ahead of guys like Jefferson, Chase, Thielen. ESPN analytics have him ranked as their 16th WR overall using their open/catch/yac formula.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with everyone here blaming Watson for Loves poor decision making amd ball placement. Watson has been above average to good and Love can't get him the ball.
5†
Are you watching all 22 to see that he is routinely open?
9
Damn I don’t know why you’re getting flamed, every Love pass I see to Watson is under thrown terribly.
2
Ppl on Reddit hate facts.

I would LOVE to see a highlights of an open Watson on the all-22 that is more than 1 play game. Yet here we are with it being easier of find a complication of this cry baby dropping catchable balls than actually being open in a reasonable time.
WE DONT COUNT BEING OPEN AFTER THE BALL IS THROWN.
2
So far this season going into this game, Watson has been thrown 14 “catchable” passes. He’s caught 12 of them.
1
Show the tape, i'm yet to see it...
2
Not to mention this dude as a "WR1" for the packers, can't get 20+ targets in 10 weeks...
Fuck off!
2
Good wrs adjust and make catches on balls that aren’t 100% accurate, if it’s not right to Watson he’s not catching it because he rarely tries to make a play
-1†
Jordan love is last in the nfl in completion% above expected percentage. Watson has an average of a 3 yard cushion without a defender nearby when a pass is attempted. Dude gets open, Love can’t hit him.
7
Well you’re wrong Love hit him right in the face mask today

Not a good idea when neither of them have any chemistry I get defending your family member but please STFU in acting like you know what your talking about. I've tried giving Watson the benefit of the doubt but he seems like a diva kind of and puts zero effort in fighting for the ball.
19
Diva?!? Watson is the opposite of a diva. In fact I wish he was more diva-like. Diva’s go out there with the attitude that they’re the best player on the field every single rep. Watson has zero confidence out there this season and it shows.
4
His family is all the confidence off the field and he has negative confidence on the field.
This guy is the worst of both worlds.

Welcome to professional sports. Fans will absolutely shit on you if you're underperforming and that's sadly part and parcel of the game. However, if you show absolute fire, heart and determination fans tend to be a lot more lenient. Not defending fans acting like dickbags, but that's just how it is.
2
I get defending your sibling, but this isn’t a good look. Watson is gonna be getting questions from the media he shouldn’t be answering, especially from his family on social media.
It’s ok to say he hasn’t played well, part due to injury, and some on him/love.
10
This isn’t wrong. It’s unfair to blame Watson for all these INTs. Todays balls were poor decisions. What is Watson supposed to do on that last INT.
Watson has been disappointing, but people need to get a grip blaming him for Love’s mediocre (at best) play.
10
I don’t think you know what mediocre means
-3†
Oh no? Why don’t you tell me and I’ll tell you if it fits how I feel.
4
But his family makes good points, people here and on twitter are blaming all int on him when Jordan has been throwing some bad passes on those situations, the kid deserves to be criticized but dont let the QB get away just cause you want him to be the guy.
9
Regardless if they're right or wrong, having your family members publicly trashing your teammates/coworkers is a terrible look. Especially when Watson himself isn't exactly lighting it up.

If you are famous or your family is famous, just delete all social media. No good will come of it.

This shit is so disgusting

Bad look, regardless of who's to blame

Watson had a huge year last year. This year has been weak at best. What changed? Think about it.
4†
Another addition to the long list of receivers Rodgers made look much better than they were.
8
Watson had a huge month last year. Aside from that... Same as this year.
7
I'd love to see an explanation of this "Year" he had lmfao.......
2
2022 - 41 receptions, 611yards. 2023 - 14 receptions 236 yards.
2022 - 7 TDs. 2023 - 1 TD.
PFF grade 2022 - 77.1, 2022 - 59.1

In regards to the INT today at least. The DB made a great play and locked him up there, it happens. Watson was at best playing defense in that situation, but the expectation for him to just fight back and win every shit throw is getting out of hand. It’s not grounded in reality.
4
People aren't asking him to fight back and win every shit throw. They're asking him to fight back and try to bail out his QB from bad throws. When bad balls come his way, he becomes a spectator to the DBs making the play. People want their #1 WR to have a "see ball, get ball" mentality.

Honestly with how horrible this fan base has been to Christian this year I don’t blame the guy jumping on the socials to defend his brother.
I don’t love the burying the other guys on the team, but I at least get it
3†
They’ve got some really good points
2†
Actually some fairly well reasoned opinions that don't seem to throw anyone under the bus
He admits OL failed to give Love time on plays in the replies
5
I trust his analysis was this sharp when Watson was dropping every ball thrown to him last year
2
F that dude. Honestly im starting to see why none of the big colleges wanted him.
1†
these people are fuckin losers lmao

Watson sucks! Just another poor high draft pick by GM Gutsey

Who tf cares what a family member of literally any player thinks?
1
It’s not just his brother. His dad is also joining in and just constantly railing against the team, against the fans. And at some point, it’s just too much! Even if the INT wasn’t watson’s fault, Watson didn’t have a great game. Sometimes you gotta recognize the good and the bad, but doesn’t seem like his family knows how to do that
1
I get defending your kid but don’t throw teammates under the bus that shit is embarrassing
it's the kind of distraction that a 3-6 team does not need and a good way to get yourself shipped off the NY Giants or some other team that's a bigger disaster.
Exactly. Going through his tweets today I think he’s complained about every position group on the team (and of course nothing is Watsons fault according to him. He said Watson only has had one bad play all year apparently). Not a good look for the supposed WR1’s brother trashing everybody
So what is Christian supposed to do here? People don't control other people. You think people give a shit what mahomes brother and wife says? They're 10x more obnoxious. It's only a distractions for the people that are willing to put the time into it. Find a better hobby.
Maybe tell his brother to shut the fuck up? Explain how his Twitter comments reflect on him.
And when he doesn't shut the fuck up? Again.... you can't control other people... you're asking for reason from a person that is already unreasonable... how do you expect something different?
He acknowledged in the linked tweet that Christian “could very clearly play better.”
Makes me question who our Watson is. If this is the biggest influence in 9's life, and it looks like he's given up on a few plays, I'm starting to get Claypool vibes.
To be fair, they are entirely right. If my kid was being blamed for that dogshit pass I would also be making a fuss on social media as well probably.
Yeah. I’ve seen other sports parents be supportive without being assholes. I’m a teacher, and his parents got real “It’s not his fault he’s failing math” vibes.
