Agreed.
He catches 45 balls, it's at the expense of a better player.
We
might throw the ball 450 times this year.
Bowe
should get 150-175 targets.
Baldwin around 75-100.
Breaston around 75.
On the low end, that leaves 150 targets for Charles, Hillis, Boss and Moeaki.
IIRC, Charles alone had somewhere around 70 targets in his big 2010 season.
Let's say the backs
split 75 targets.
That leaves 75 for the TE's to split.
So unless we through the ball 500+ times - which hasn't happened ONCE since Cassel became the QB - any touches DMc gets are just stealing opportunities from a better player.
He's the 8th option, and he's probably going to get more than 50 targets.
What does that tell you about our offense?
