Td's are more of a indictment on situations rather than talent. Example Julio Jones only had 6 TD's last year Anquan Boldin had 8, is Boldin better or a result of the Lions philosophy in the redzone? Other thing you have to remember is personnel in the red zone, we tend to go heavy personnel in the redzone meaning a #3 WR isn't even on the field often. Some Rookie TD numbers, Hopkins 2, Cooks 3, Allen Robinson 2.
Boyd had a good year, people freaking out about TD's are looking for things that aren't there. Brandon Cooks had basically the same rookie year as Boyd (3 TD's to 1) and they had less options in NO to throw to that year. I am not sure why people have all the sudden decided he isn't the #2 of the future, he had a good rookie year.
