While this team still has some very obvious concerns, I see no reason that these two shouldn't be total studs this year. Their talent is elite for their positions. The line is improved to a point where they should be able to get in a position to make big plays on a frequent basis. Watkins should honestly be able to help free up things for Spiller more so than at any point since he has been as a Bill. Manuel honestly needs to be no more than average to get optimal production from the two of them. Hackett just needs to get out of his own way and not call plays in a counter-intuitive manner. If either of those prove to be the issue (which they very well could), then it will be a huge disappointment because I really think we are sitting on two gems here and that offensive production will be the difference between 6-10 and 10-6. There's no reason at the end of the year that their numbers shouldn't look like this:
Watkins - 70 catches, 1100 yards, 8 TDs
Spiller - 1500 total yards, 12 TDs
No excuses this year... maximize production for these two and get a near top 10 performance out of our D and we have a real chance at ending this thing. Fail and Hackett and Manuel's backsides are on the line.
