I think that the lack of utilization is more due to our WR's basically sucking versus scheme or quarterback.
Consider that McCluster and Avery were, outside of Bowe, our two most consistent threats from the WR position and neither were there this past season (in entirety). Avery was targeted 26 times in the six games he played before injury.
Bowe doesn't run good routes. Never has, never will.
Hemingway, while an outstanding special teamer, can't get separation off the line and on his breaks.
Thomas is more running back than receiver.
Wilson is a small school track guy. Raw like sushi.
Only Kelce, Fasano and Bowe from the receiving group had catch percentages over 60%.
That sucks. Big, long, hard ones.
This system needs guys who break hard, at the right spot and are capable of extending the play with YAC. They also have to catch the ****ing ball. Right now, we don't have a receiver that can do that with regularity.
It's not Smith. It's not the system. It's the receivers.
Blame Dorsey. I do. The guy didn't draft anybody last year at the position when it was a remarkably good draft class and it really held the team and Smith back.
