If Steve had played every game...

With his YPG average he would be on pace to have 1600 yards. As it stands now he is third in the league with 1240 which is an incredible feat all on its own considering he is playing with a 2 game disadvantage. I doubt anyone will get close to Jerry Rice's 1800 but if Steve ever got over that 1600-1700 yard marks that would be special.

I've harked on this a couple times in other threads. What he does is unbelievable. His job was literally done in the first half. He stretched the D and CREATED our balanced offense single handedly. Btw, props to Jake to spreading the ball around with accuracy more than usual.

ps. if steve was in a high powered, pass heavy offense, Rice's record would be blown to poo.

He's put up great numbers during a year when our running game seems to be the bread and butter of our offense. Jake Delhomme hasn't thrown for many yards this year. Meaning we aren't throwing the ball left and right. So he's put those numbers up with a 2 game disadvantage and on an offense focused on the run.

What can I say...the guys awesome.

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.
