2011 - Jerome Simpson = uncoverable
2012- Armon Binns = Victor Cruz/Fitz
2013 - Gresham and Eifert = Gronk and Murderin' Hernandez
2014 - Gresham and Eifert = Gronk and Murderin' Hernandez
2015 - Who needs Gresham, he stunk! Heurman and Eifert...er wait, we didn't draft that one? Ok well, Kroft and Eifert = Gronk and Murderin' Hernandez then
It's probably my favorite part of the offseason when people (Brad) make the most absurd claims about our offense. Every post is filled with how "unstoppable", "unbeatable", "uncoverable" so and so are going to be.
I mean, defenses will have to put extra guys on the field because who can cover these guys?!
I don't know, but I'd guess that most NFL defensive coordinators have it figured out. There have been some high powered offenses to come through the NFL over the years, but every one has been stopped and covered by a defense at some point. Excuse me if I'm just ignoring some facts here and completely missing the point, but when has the recipe for offensive success ever been an average QB, 1 top tier WR, a WR with half of a season of playing time under his belt, a guy with the dropsies, an unproven TE, a rookie TE, and a pair of RBs with 560 career carries??
MLJ is a talented kid and I have high hopes for Eifert, but there's no need to pretend this group of guys is unquestionably going to run rampant leading the NFL in every offense based category.
