If he would’ve thrown it deep to Watkins then you would be screaming that Rodgers should’ve taken the short throw to pick up the 1st down. When he goes short for the sticks, we bitch. When he goes deep as opposed to going short, we bitch.

A younger, better version of Rodgers would have seen him flash open deep and easily converted the first down, potentially with a huge play or a touchdown. Instead, he threw a check down into the teeth of the defense, just like they drew it up. Maybe they convert the two yards if Watkins runs his assigned route, but it’s hardly a sure thing, especially against a defense that is looking for a no-read quick throw.
