Small sample size, but something to think about....
While Hurst was out for 3 games Wilcox had 10 receptions for 79 yards and a TD. That is a 7.9 yard per reception, 3.3 catch per game, and .33 TD per game pace. Hurst over the season had 7.96 yards per reception, 4 catches per game, and .15 TD per game.
Again, it's a small sample size but I think it is really worth noting that while Hurst was gone our production out of that position really didn't change much and that was with a journeyman/UDFA guy manning the spot. When you then look back at what CJ did while he was here the year before I think it is pretty apparent that the production from that position in this offense right now is probably more of a function of the offense more so than the person manning it.
I am glad Hurst got paid, he seems like a good dude, but I would go as far as saying we can basically put anyone in that position and get similar results out of it at this point.
