I'm saying there's lots of mediocre WR's on bad teams that put up 1k yards by virtue of being the best WR on a bad team that's playing from behind all the time. There's plenty of Darnell Mooney's, DJ Chark's, Kenny Golladay's out there. Just like all 1000 yard rushers aren't equal, neither are all 1000 yard receivers.
Didn't say that at all.
No stat is perfect for WR comps. However, yards/target is infinitely better than yards/reception because it actually includes yards/reception. Yards/catch is much easier to get a false evaluation off of. If a guy gets 100 targets and only catches one pass for 20 yards, his yards/catch will be 20, which is outstanding. However, his yards/target indicate that the guy sucks
It's not always the WR's fault an individual target doesn't work out, just like it's not necessarily outstanding if they get a catch. If a defender falls down, there's a busted coverage, the D is in prevent, etc, the receiver still gets credit even though they did very little.
Throwing stats out the window, what does Boyd bring to the table? Even in his prime, he was an ineffective boundary receiver and had to be put in the slot. Is he a deep threat? No, not unless there's a busted coverage. Jump ball threat? No. Smart? We literally had to do away with the choice routes he was running because he constantly misread the coverage and the ball kept getting picked off. RAC threat? No. Sure handed? We used to be able to say that, but last year shakes that confidence? Clutch? Hxll to the naw! No DC sweats being able to stop Boyd. You trot him out at WR2 against the Ravens and Harbaugh will laugh and tell Marlon Humphrey to follow him everywhere and erase his sorry xss like he used to before we got Tee and Chase.
The only reason I can see anyone wanting Boyd back next year is they bought his jersey and are self-conscious about being "that guy" sporting a non-current player's jersey
How did you know ?
Now I got to shell out the little extra cash I have for a different player's Jersey..
