The argument is that Bess is a playmaker. The best measure of playmaking ability is WPA. What the Dolphins could or should get in trade for Bess is irrelevant.
your clearly too biased to ever agree with anyone else on this so lets just leave it be.

Bess did drop quite few last year. More than normal...
But, he was also covered like a blanket most of the time because we had no one but Hartline as the other WR. I'm sure that duo sent fear into every CB's heart last year...
I'd be interested to see your analysis of the success rate of fifth-round wide receivers, even in "deep" drafts at the position. I suspect less than one percent of them attain the success Davone Bess has in the league. And I suspect that's true for even third-round receivers, and perhaps even second-round ones, as well.
One, out of 170 returns.
In a four receiver set and 3 with tight end and Lamar Miller, Bess spreads with the field nicely with Wallace, Hartline, etc. Davone is a known commodity and is good at what he does. Being able to spread the field more in what we are predicting to a quick strike apple offense, should mean Bess will see a more open space and apt to have to break less tackles than the 5 yard at a time offense of the past few years
How conceited and arrogant. You create a thread, and then get mad when people give their opinions in it.
I remember you. You are the same guy who compared Sparano to BB.
Look through this guy's post history at all the stat spinning nonsensical threads just like this one that he's provided you in order to defend bum after bum.
This guy has to be an engineer with that attitude and knack for spinning digits.... I deal with 'em everyday.
A touchdown isn't the only kind of play one can make. Bess's WPA says the plays he makes are aplenty regardless of his number of touchdowns.Bess doesn't put the ball in the end zone enough. By definition he isn't a playmaker.
0.3 percent.
Wes Welker: 768 career catches, 13 for 40+ yards. 1.7 percent.
Now, to avoid looking at this in a vacuum, I suspect we should also consider the players around them and the strength of the teams they've played for, to help make sense of the one and a half percent difference between Davone Bess and Wes Welker.

This thread has provided many points of laughter in an otherwise uneventufl day!!!
Thanks. We'll be waiting
About 90 posts in, and we're still awaiting any objective evidence anywhere near as good as WPA that Bess isn't a playmaker. Can probably close it down at this point. I'd say we probably have a sufficient sampling of what the forum has to offer in the way of a rebuttal.
