TE is a huge need, but Hurst isn't doing much. His yards per catch has dropped again, the 5th year in a row. His yards after the catch per reception has dropped again, the 5th year in a row. I really think he's just kind of burning out. Same reason I didn't want to keep him in FA when I knew he would get paid a decent amount. (Though I expected them to sign or draft someone better than Irv Smith Jr to replace him.)
I'm actually shocked there were so many Perine votes.
Well, I see it like this. We do not use the TE as heavily as other teams because we have so many good WR's. And if we need a pass catching TE, Wilcox and Hudson have looked good. The reason so many votes go to Perine is simply because we have no proven #2 running back. If we lost Mixon, the run game is toast unless that rookie can step up, because Williams and Evans simply have not.
