[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 612282"] 9 of those 10 receivers, ranked in the top 10 in yds. per game. The difference was Golden Tate moving to #8 while Green drops to #13, a function of Detroit throwing the ball more than Cincy. It's hard to see a value-add in looking at yards-per-passing-snap vs. this more pedestrian stat. [URL]http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingYardsPerGame[/URL] I've highlighted previously Cobb's outrageously good stealth 2014 productivity-per-target numbers, which I have not seen highlighted anywhere else. He was 12th. in yards per game; he would be similarly ranked in yards per team pass attempt. Looking at those top 13 yards-per-game leaders (which include the 10 names you listed), Cobb ranked as follows: catches % per target: #1 (72.2%) yards per target: #2 (10.21) vs. T.Y. Hilton #1 (10.35) TDs per target: #2 (0.095) vs. Dez Bryant #1 (0.116) +20 yard gains per target: #1 (0.190) yards after catch per target: #1 (4.41) [B]first downs per target: #1 (0.563)[/B] I've highlighted the last number because when I first commented on Cobb's productivity a few months ago, I was inclined to dig into these numbers based on the simple reflection that the frequency of "complete...Cobb...first down" calls seemed to have been awfully high in my recollection. There is no doubt in my mind that Cobb was the best receiver in the NFL last season. The disparity in the quality of nickel corners over cover corners around the league does not account the wide disparities. This collection of outstanding possession receiver rankings with outstanding down-the-field receiver rankings are so remarkable as to be perhaps a once every 5 or 10 year phenomenon. To draw a baseball analogy, Cobb's season is akin to George Brett's in 1980 when he played only 117 games[B]. [/B]The gross numbers are not outrageous, but the production per opportunity is off the charts. [/QUOTE]
