I think we're weak at WR still. Sanu isn't the answer either.
Marvin sounds frustrated and I wouldn't blame him if jones injury is due to lack of preparation or if he's simply avoiding the contact or practice itself. I think they truly missed a great opportunity to get better at WR during the draft.
When you have a RB that is 7th in the NFL in receptions, 2 TEs involved in the passing game, and a team that's playing "musical WR2" for half of the year, I'd say 700 yards and 10 TDs is where you want a WR to be behind your #1.
44 NFL WRs had 700+ yards in 2013. 10 WRs in the entire league had double digit TD receptions. Saying "10 TDs is ok" is just ridiculously underselling it to make your preconceived opinion sound better.
Complain about the injuries or the perceived lack of motivation or whatever else you'd like off the field, but it's crazy to pretend that he isn't a very valuable #2 receiver when he's playing.
I also believe that 9 of his 10 TDs were in the red zone, and having another solid RZ target would be very beneficial for Andy and the offense in general.
