He was on pace for close to 5,000 yards before Green went down, and he only had Eifert and Green together a couple games. Add Ross, Core, Mixon, and a healthy Uzomah to the mix and I think he reaches 5,000 yards passing.
It wont take MORE passes, but more efficient pass plays....I could see his stat line being 20/25 for 300 yards. That would imply a couple big plays, but still a good mix of run/pass. I hate to use them as an example, but the most powerful steeler offense had three really good WRs (and one burner), a really good TE, and a back that could take a check down for 20 yards. For the first time in the Dalton Era, I could see the same thing happening here.
I hope Ross puts up 1000 yards but OL play may dictate more running and a lot of short routes. I am also concerned Ross is missing the May OTA's due to not graduating so will he get behind with the playbook and the timing.
I like AD a lot, but he has never thrown for more 4300 yards I don't believe, so again I hope he throws for 5000+, but not if it means put up meaningless yards in losses because we are down multiple scores in the 4th quarter and had to throw more.
Free Agency ain't over until it is over.
