Each route has options based on coverage, leverage, defensive personnel, offensive personnel groupings, motions, and shifts. Add in the fact that each route may have significant variations in release quickness, separation, depth, and scramble duties as well as in-line and downfield blocking assignments. Multiply each position and route by the hundreds of plays in Wally's playbook and you have a damn PhD in Advanced Wide Receiver by the time you're done.
Dissing Sammy because it took time to learn every damn position in the scheme (which he did) is absurd on its face. Typical Lame Monday Morning Fat Ass Coaching, to be honest.

People should watch the all-22 from last year, when Sammy was out. He commands attention even when he isn't getting the ball. When he wasn't on the field, teams didn't play Robinson the same way because they weren't afraid of him changing the game with one play.
And all that time that he "disappeared" from the stat lines this year, well, he is a WR and can't actually throw the ball to himself. He didn't play bad football during that time, and usually made at least one impactful play per game, like coming back to catch a ball from a scrambling Mahomes, or a making a key down field block to help on a big run, etc.
Our offense is just better when he is on the field.
We all know he needs to restructure, but he said that coming to Kansas City was one of the best decisions he has ever made. We should make every effort to keep him on the team l, but with a contract that makes sense for both parties.
