On a related note, here's Juju's yards per target by year:

2017: 11.6
2018: 8.6
2019: 7.9
2020: 6.5
2021: 4.6

He barely played last year.

What's your point anyway?

Yeah, except for some guy named Gonzalez.

I realize it’s a stat that’s slept on by Dungver but PLAYOFF WINS AND APPEARANCES are something that can be factored into this….

Let me repeat....Dwayne one-time Pro Bowler Bowe had as many TDs (15) in 2010 as all of Denver's WRs/TEs combined last year. And the players who accounted for half of those TDs are gone, with no notable additions.

But there have been few offenses in NFL history as loaded as Denver's. :-) :-)

Sutton/Jeudy/Albert O is a bottom 5 WR/TE combo in the NFL

Well this is embarrassing. In case you didn’t know, Tony Gonzalez and Matt Cassel (the guy Detoxing was using as an example) were never on the same team.

Bottom 5 offensive weapons, bottom 5 O line, middle of the pack QB(and regressing), no pass rush, soft run defense, horrible GM, and a soft ass coach.

Disaster written all over it if the league doesn't get involved

Moeaki was option #2. Lawls

As embarrassing as the Broncos’ receiving production?

Btw, Bowe and Gonzalez each had 1000+ with Tyler Thigpen in ‘08.

Neat. Maybe it was because the third option was Mark Bradley, and those 3 were the only ones with 300+ yards of receiving. By comparison, the 2021 Broncos had 6 players with 300+ yards.

Also, both Bowe and Gonzalez had over 150 targets that year. No Bronco hit 100 targets last year. Every one of Jeudy, Albert O, Sutton, Hamler, and Hinton outperformed both Bowe and Gonzalez in yards per target.

Why would that matter for yards per target? It’s not like the QBs kept targeting him after he stopped playing for the season. The point is that those numbers trend in a certain direction.

So what? The point is Bowe had 1000+ yards with Tony Gonzalez and a crappy QB.
