It took Andy Dalton 4 seasons to get to that number.
Throw in the fact that Decker played in 62 games. Whereas Marvin Jones has only played in 43.
So not only did Decker benefit from the greatest passing offense of all time, but he's played in almost 20 more games than Jones.
Jones hasn't played in 4 NFL seasons. He's played in 3. Those stats are misleading. I fully believe that Jones could put up those stats (87/1,288/11)
To be even more fair, Decker just put up an 80-1027-12 stat line in an offense that wasn't exactly the #1 scoring offense of all-time, so it's not like he was a fluke. Decker was a #2 (behind Marshall) with an inferior QB and all of his numbers would've easily been career highs across the board for Marvin Jones.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
