I just think you're putting yourself at a disadvantage with blocking, there's a smaller margin for error throwing.....the windows get tighter.
And can someone explain to me why D-Rob is still on this team and Conley isn't?

I can understand WRs having a disadvantage in blocking if they are weak and skinny but if they are short, strong and give great effort, a short guy can block better than a tall, skinny guy with poor effort. So, height is not necessarily an indicator in blocking.
And I’d argue the opposite on windows for a wr with elite change of direction. Breaking quickly on your cuts in your routes creates larger windows. And having the football iq to read zones. A larger wr could mean smaller windows if they don’t create separation. Larger catch radius doesn’t mean a larger window for the qb to throw to.
