The wide receiving corps on this team, top to bottom, is not a strength of the roster. And yet it has been good enough for this offense to be elite and hasn’t caused the issue that some thought it would. Is that such a crazy take? I mean, you and I basically just said the same thing about MVS in different ways. I highlighted the role he has in the offense, which is important, while acknowledging that he has serious flaws. You highlighted the flaws while acknowledging he has a role. So we agree? So let me be clear. I’m not saying it’s silly to scrutinize the receiving talent. What I’m calling silly is the effort is the to make every negative outcome on offense a referendum on the receiving corps. [USER=7261]@Pokerbrat2000[/USER] has literally said this year that he would be kind of glad for the offense to struggle just to prove his point about the position. [USER=6794]@captainWIMM[/USER] is trying to use an Adams drop as evidence that the receiving corps is a problem (as though we need to replace Adams?). Meanwhile, neither have attempted to explain why or how the offense has, on balance, been so good when Adams isn’t the leading receiver. It’s just confirmation bias and I’m pointing that out.</blockquote>
