Only 12 caught more than 400 yds as well and with Chase Higgins. and Boyd being the main targets I will say probably not unless Hurst leaves and he becomes the feature TE.
If he plays his entire career as a Bengals could certainly see 2,000 plus yard though.
But I am saying that he will do his job and not cost the Bengals any games per boneheaded plays and contribute during this crucial part of the season when every game is paramount. Which I would call paying dividends.
Drew Sample had 349 yards in 13 starts back in 2020.
I consider that not good.
So I think any decent receiving TE should be able to get 400+ yards.
So for me, get 400+ yards and/or get 6+ TDs for me to consider a TE good in the passing game.
And for me to consider someone a "good" TE, they need to play significant snaps. If they aren't getting that, how can you consider that player good?
"Doing your job" and "not costing the Bengals games" does not equate to a good player, IMO. That's the bare minimum expectation.
This is exactly why I asked for your definition of paying dividends, as we clearly have different views on what that means.
