Core and Malone could very well go their entire careers without making much of an impact in the receiving game and it wouldn't be unheard of (ok, I forgot Malone was a 4th round pick...geez). Ross, I expect a lot more out of, but based on what I've seen him do I certainly can't side with him over Dalton when it comes to the disparity in targets.
We shall see what Dalton does on Sunday without AJ Green hogging all the targets and the amazing LaFell mucking up the depth chart. As others have pointed out, I see Boyd and Mixon/Gio getting almost all the targets, so maybe those 3 will need to get injured before we really see Core/Malone/Ross "earn" their targets.
tl:dr - If Dalton hain't targeting them, I'm putting that on them. Dalton hain't no dumb bum.
That's the point, they haven't had targets because they have AJ and Boyd in front of them. So, in reality, we haven't seen what they can be yet. This is the chance for them to step up. We'll see what they do with it.
