The fact is that Marvin Jones still only averaged 12.6 yards per reception in 2015 despite having 4 catches of 40+ yards. Here's the other players he's tied with and their yards per catch.
Malcolm Floyd 18.7
DeSean Jackson 17.6
Rishard Mathews 15.4
Marvin Jones 12.6
Demaryius Thomas 12.4
The only person he beat in average is a 105 / 1,304 receiver who had the lowest average of his career due to noodle armed Manning. The rest crushed him.
Among WR/TE with at least 32 catches (so 2 a game, made it a relatively high bar to try to preemptively prevent at lest a little of your whining, a potential pool of 103 players), Marvin Jones' 12.6 average is 50th. Or right smack dab in the mediocre middle of okay #2 territory.
He's not a bad #2, he's just simply not a great deep threat. Not sure how you can argue a guy who's longest catch of his career is a non-scoring 47 yarder is a great deep threat.
So if we lose sanu and marvin jones, who besides aj green do we have to go somewhat "deep"? (20+ yards)
I get what youre saying by bringing out statistics, but numbers dont always tell the full story.
