Sac, here's how the WR position works in football. This is the process you follow.

1. Run
2. Get open
3. Get the QB to throw you the ball
4. Catch the ball.

Notice that step 2 depends on how well you do step 1. And step 3 depends on how well you do steps 1 and 2.

It follows that step 4 depends on how well you do steps 1-3. If you can't do steps 1-3, then you can't do step 4. So even if a player is better at step 4 than someone else, their value as an offensive weapon is still going to be less than the player who can do steps 1-3.

So Weston Dressler can do step 1. Okay. Good. But then he's awful at step 2 and 3. Guess what? He can't do step 4, even if he's the best in the business at it.

Likewise, Donnie Avery can do steps 1-3. Many WRs are better at performing that process than he is, but he can still do them.

Now he gets to step 4. He had a ~12% drop rate last year. So 88% of the time he's going to catch what's being thrown to him provided the set up works.

Guess what? 88% is greater than 0%. Because Dressler can't get to step 4. He has a 0% chance at catching the ball because it's never going to be thrown at him if he's on the field.

It follows then that Donnie Avery is a much better WR to have on the field than Weston ****ing Dressler.
