Ravens Ring of Honor
Yeah I mean obviously adding one more game will increase attempts, but that's also true league-wide, so its scaled on a per game basis.he also left multiple games early in 2019 due to huge leads. I believe atleast 3 games he left early. Maybe 4 and he didn't play the last game.
I believe averaging 27 passes a game, which would bring us to 459 (17 games). Anyway, you are right that there could be two many mouths to feed based on sheer volume. That being said we should have more talent and feel the 2nd round is where that receiver should be taken, unless they are totally sold on a day 1 pick. I still feel Creed Humphrey, Teven Jenkins or Jaelen Phillips would be better picks and feel atleast one of them will be available, but I digress and this is for the draft thread anyway.
But I also don't think he left nearly as many early last year (where he also had less attempts), and I don't know that's something you can bank on either.
And again, this is in the context of people wanting an upgrade at receiver from a statistical aspect. Not everybody cares about that, but deep down, I think a lot do. I think a lot of people look around the league at the more explosive offenses and say "look, they've got multiple thousand yard receivers, or have a guy who's getting 1,200 yards every year. It's because they have great receivers and we don't". And I'm saying that in an offense that simply doesn't throw the football that much, it's almost unreasonable to expect it, regardless of the player you add, how talented they are, or the name on the jersey.
If people view it the way I do, which is I want a chain moving, big bodied, red zone threat, who can also work the perimeter, then I agree that day 2 is probably the place to find that. And I think if that guy puts up like 600-700 yards a season, which quite frankly, would be pretty good, in 2 years, a lot of fans will be saying he's not any good and they want upgrades. And I will laugh at it, because the only expectations they're probably not living up to is fan expectations.
I think its important for any fanbase to be reasonable and have expectations that are associated with a teams strategy and what you've seen on the field.
And as I addressed earlier... I think Friday morning around here will be quite funny IF we don't take a WR in the first. And I'm sort of looking forward to it.
