You're right that Boyd could possibly improve, but Chad is a poor comparison. Chad was barely used as a rookie, catching only 28 passes compared to 54 for Boyd.

Boyd should've scored more than 1 TD, whether by red zone or big plays. He was deficient in both areas. I'm not saying there's no hope for the guy. I like his size and hands. I just also know that the lack of big plays and RZ production probably led to the drafting of a guy with 4.22 speed and excellent RZ production. It seems pretty easy to connect the dots.

To piggy back onto that, of the 15 other WR's who caught between 50-60 passes last year, Boyd and Robert Woods were the only one's with only one TD.  Not counting Boyd, the average for a WR who caught that many passes was 3.53 TD's.

To further put this in perspective, the last Bengal with 50+ catches and 0-1 Td's was Kenny Watson in '07.  The last Bengal WR to do it was Peter Warrick in '01.
