Why Passing on a WR in the first might not be a option

This thread sounds like a bunch of my youngest son's middle school friends bickering. Going back to the topic at hand tell me hoe LaFell at over 15 yards a reception isn't in the same ballpark as guys like Blackmon who averaged 13 yards per reception. He didn't get as many chances but had better production as a function of opportunities. And don't waste my time with the argument he couldn't get open and that is why his receptions are down. Smitty already pointed out that he and LaFell were open many times but the poor offensive line play forced Newton to scramble instead of sit back and find the open man.

Just to be Fair.

Blackmon - Got 133 targets compared to Lafell 76 that's just as many targets as 89. Played in 2 and a half more games and didn't have TE like Olsen taking away touches.

Wright - got 104 targets compared to Lafell 76. Didn't have more yards and they were even in TD. Again Wright was the main target with no TE like Olsen on the team and the funny part is Lafell had better numbers then Kenny Brit with 14 less targets.

Lefell, also stubbled all year to get separation.

Floyd - Didn't have better numbers. Played in more games. Had 10 more targets. And didn't have a TE like Olsen to take touches away.

So only 2 out of the 4 put up better numbers and all had more passes thrown their way.
