Again, it wasn't a criticism, Chris. It was just an observation, one brought up by several others during the season before I ever did.
But it isn't irrelevant either. A WR that can't consistently win on his own merits is going to be limited; and we've had too many of those in the very recent past, and the offense has struggled because of it. Hopefully, Rice will advance his game above that limited level; I believe he's on his way in that regard. But again, I'm not going to sugarcoat my opinions either.
Have a nice day.

Not sure I earned the snark, but whatever.
Reid's offense always has a ton of what you could call 'manufactured touches'. A TON. That doesn't mean a player CAN'T just run a route and get open. Andy loves his gadget stuff and screens and whatnot. I see no reason for pause, especially as the season went on and Rice did more out in the pattern.
Reality is that if you take the second half of the season as your base and double it, you're looking at a 1300 or so WR. That's a pretty good WR in any offense.
