By the end of the season Joe didnt have any time for check downs and to look for other WRs, this was pretty obvious to even nonfootball fans. Hopefully that changes this season as one of his attributes is finding the open receiver and making he right decision.
Name one 2021 rookie WR who did better in the playoffs not named Ja’marr Chase. It’s a short list: no one.
Name the 2021 rookie WRs who matched or exceeded Boyd’s regular season stats. It’s a little longer: Ja’marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, Devonta Smith, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Only one was drafted outside of the Top 10.
Including playoffs, Boyd had 82 receptions and 1 drop. Or he dropped 1.2% of passes that hit his hands. If the ball hits a receiver’s hands only one of two outcomes are going to happen; he’ll catch it or drop it. Kinda like a coin toss. Heads or tails. 50/50. Boyd had 81 consecutive receptions before his only drop. The odds of flipping a coin and getting 82 consecutive heads before the first tails is 1 in 4.8 septillion. I didn’t even know what a number with 24 zeros was called. Had to look it up. And that coin wasn’t being covered by an NFL DB like Boyd.
I don’t think the team should cut a starter because you want to ignore 81% of last year’s sample size due to conformational bias to support a predetermined outcome.
