Both were targeted 9 times in the red zone. Boyd had 1 td and Green 2. So not a lot of difference between them.
One of those WRs was drawing constant single coverage. I'm sure you can guess which one.

You're right that Boyd could possibly improve, but Chad is a poor comparison. Chad was barely used as a rookie, catching only 28 passes compared to 54 for Boyd.
Boyd should've scored more than 1 TD, whether by red zone or big plays. He was deficient in both areas. I'm not saying there's no hope for the guy. I like his size and hands. I just also know that the lack of big plays and RZ production probably led to the drafting of a guy with 4.22 speed and excellent RZ production. It seems pretty easy to connect the dots.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
