Is he much better than Conley?
What did he do with the Steelers besides make the team as an undrafted free agent? Put up one or two decent games when there were some injuries in 2016. In 2017 all he did was get buried behind Heyward-Bey, Bryant, and Smith-Schuster. You can argue that those guys are a murderer's row of great WRs for what Eli Rogers actually is, but if we're blaming high competition, does that mean Rogers is ACTUALLY that much better than Conley? Hell, is he even better than Demarcus Robinson? Where do you see in his production with the Steelers that he's a "big upgrade" over what we currently have competing for WR3 and WR4?
Don't get me wrong. Bring him aboard if he's healthy. Let's find out. Maybe he IS that really good slot receiver people think he is.
However, thus far, I look at his stats, production, and where he came from, and all I see is an Albert Wilson clone.
We have zero evidence that he's a big upgrade.
