Dolphins' highly-paid WRs not living up to expectations

ALL Phins receivers have been worse than a year ago, Hartline, Wallace, Gibson, Matthews, Clay, and Landry has been nothing great in catching 8 for 70 yards with 2 drops. Why?

Aside from Wallace who's at least got frightening speed, they're just "guys" and always have been just "guys".
 
Matthews has hardly seen the field, wish they would give him more of a chance.

I suspect if you looked at a similar 3 game sample with identical passer ratings all players would have similar stats. So it goes back to are they bringing Tannehill down causing him to look inconsistent, or are they the consistent ones but Tannehill's inconsistency is bringing their numbers down?
 
Wallace is playing fine so far this year. The others are not.

I'd take Seattle's in a heartbeat. GreenBay's too, Denver, Atlanta, Washington, Chicago, SF, Tampa's, Buffalo's.

Plenty of better Wr's than 2-4 on Miami.

Based on last year's production or 3 games? Last year, you would be wrong.

Not true. Locker, McCown, and Cassel are the only 3 with a worse QB rating, and all three team's receivers have been much better.

I'm talking about a 3 game sample from last season for our guys because I thought you were suggesting the whole offense has regressed under Lazor. You can't really compare different QB/WR corps.

Based on what? PFF? :lol:

If you tell me that Miami's 2-4 is better than those teams..just..no

Nah, let's just go with the NFL official stats so you have little to complain about, and just go with your first pick. No time for the others.

Seattle- Tate caught 64 passes for 898 and 5 TD's. Hartline caught 76 for 1016, and 4 TD's.

Baldwin caught 54 for 778 and 5 TD's. Wallace caught 73 for 930 and 5 TD's.

Miller (TE) caught 56 for 387 and 5 TD's. Clay caught 64 for 759 and 6 TD's'

Kerse caught 22 for 346 and 4 TD's. Matthews caught 41 for 442 and 2 TD's.

If you go by the player's average last year vs this year's 4 games, it has.
 
I honestly would have Hartline as our 4th or 5th receiver, Wallace followed by the physicality of Matthews, Gibson and Landry adds something on the other side to Wallace. I'm not a Hartline hater but I think I've had enough of him falling down without any contact. Matthews, Gibson and Landry I would also expect are better blockers in the running game.

That's funny. Hartline was one of 22 WR's in the NFL with over 1,000 yards, with fewer catches than most. His average of 13.4 was down this year but tied with Dez Bryant. And you want him as a 4th or 5th WR? Amazing what some post.
