Also no mention of Gieseki or Burton. Just losing Mixon/Boyd as negatives.
Because when Tee was healthy, he wasn't as good or productive. Obviously production is tied with QB play..but that's the nature of WR. It's borderline impossible to evaluate a WR independently of a WR, and you must look at production metrics.
Tee played in 12 games and averaged 54 yards per game with 5 total TDs. Those other names you listed that missed time for injury had better production on a per/game stand point.
Justin Jefferson (10 games): 107 yards/game, 5 TDs
Tank Dell (11 games): 64.5 y/g, 7 TDs
Kupp (12 games): 61.4 y/g, 5 TDs
So again, I don't think they are "excusing" their poor seasons. They are just evaluating performance when they were actually on the field and Tee didn't product to the same level.
