Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 612334">You're right.  I missed than one, probably because Johnson only caught 55% of the balls thrown to him.  When you run a high percentage of deep routes, a relatively low completion rate and high first down rate per catch is expected.I don't doubt that.  I was looking at the top 13 receivers in yards-per-game.  The point was to compare Cobb to the guys above him on that list who are generally regarded as the best in the game last season.  Landry was 59th. in the league in yards per game.  I'm sure there others, particularly those who run a lot of screens or catch out of the backfield with regularity.  As you know, there are RBs with more YAC than actual yards because they're catching a lot of balls behind the line; I'm sure there are a few WRs getting thrown a relatively high percentage of those kinds of balls as well.I don't think Cobb needs to be #1 in every category to make my case.  The fact he is rated so high in so many categories on a per target or per catch basis makes for a strong argument.</blockquote>
