Not sure about the 500 but close to 800 yards given like Fred said Higgins and Boyd should be sufficient. Asking for a Justin Jefferson or even Higgins rookie year numbers may not be realistic. I mean hopefully it isn't because it will mean Burrow is throwing it 40 time a game, and let's hope he isn't this year coming off of injury.
I heard all offseason that Chase was better than Jefferson, but now we have to taper expectations?
I'm not saying we shouldn't be reasonable (we should). I'm just saying this goes to show that some weren't being reasonable a few months ago. That said, yeah I'd be fine with an 800 yard season mixed with some electric plays here and there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
