I just dont consider that efficient. McCluster and Baldwin contributed more with Cassel/Brady Quinn, I think those two would have put up similar numbers with Luck throwing to them last season instead of the garbage they had to deal with.
Why else would the Colts let him walk and replace him with Darius Heyward Bey.
Ty Hilton also passed him very quickly statistically as the season progressed, though Hilton plays the slot, the reads definitely ended up changing.
So by the end of the year he was the fourth maybe even fifth option. There were games were he was targeted 12 to 14 times and he come away with 3 or 4 ****ing catches. That's horrible in my opinion. If he gets targeted that many times in a Chiefs game and only has 3 catches to show for it I'll be screaming at my television.

Mike Wallace was targeted 119 times and had 64 catches and was under 1000 yds., and he was the most sought after free agent on the market. His YAC was slightly better than Avery's at 5.1 and he had a solid veteran throwing to him. Stats can be cherry picked to make any argument.
