[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 957111, member: 17953"] [I] You have brought that up in another thread but I can't remember anyone claiming that Watkins is past his prime based on age. The reason fans are down a bit on him is that he hasn't caught more than 52 passes and for more than 673 yards in a season since 2015.[/I] [CENTER]-----------------------------------------[/CENTER] [LEFT] The connotation of "past his prime," then putting a player's age next to it is strictly a point of pointing out age, not pointing out whether or not he can or cannot be more productive than in the past. Many players have had breakout seasons after going past their prime, age wise. Although I'd agree that the majority of players "past their prime" are going to slowly lose some of their physical skills, and become more injury prone, I also believe some find that their experience on the field makes them even better, because they make better decisions. Also, lesser used players may have an extended shelf life because they've had less wear and tear on their bodies. Each player needs to be judged on projected ROI, and if you do it based on birth date, you're going to reject a lot of decent ball players that can help your team win. [/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
