Everyone loves Landry, as do I. He has been one of the very few bright spots in a very dismal year for our team. However, based on stat production, how good was he in 2015?

In NFL rankings of all receivers, he was #6 in targets with 165 and #4 in catches with 110. His 10.5 average was #85 of 100 receivers. His 4 TD's were tied at #57 with 26 other receivers. As he caught so many short passes, it may be better to come him to a TE (included in this ranking) instead of a WR.

Putting Gronk aside, G Olsen had a 14.5 avg and 7 TD's. D Walker had 11.6 with 6 TD's. G Barnidge was 13.2 and 9. J Reed was 10-.8 and 11. J Kelse was 12.2 and 5. B Watson was 11.1 and 6. Different position but, worth comparing.

Landry had a VG year in the slot. IMO, an elite year was had by Cobb in 2014. H caught 91 of 126 for a 14 yard avg and 12 TD's but had Rodgers.

So, how good was Landry in 2015?

Did he take away targets from other WR's or, was that based on necessity and the time RT had to throw?

Was he somewhat of a Cameron killer at TE, as Hoops alluded to, in forcing him to try and block?

Do you want to see him be targeted this much in the future?

Any way he can improve his avg and TD's?
 
The answer to all of your questions is Bill Lazor.

We went into the season with an offense designed to throw short passes to Jarvis Landry. Surprise, surprise, an offense designed to throw passes within three yards of the line of scrimmage to one player is not very effective for anything except winning fantasy football games in PPR leagues.

Not all the answers to the question is Bill Lazor. Some of the answers to the questions is Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill has trust in Landry to not only be where he is supposed to be on every play but he trust Landry to make a play whenever possible. You can say Tannehill trusts Landry to a fault sometimes.
 
I like Landry, he's a great talent , but he just needs to stop with the stupid attitude things. I don't know if anyone else noticed during the last game. Landry caught a pass then got up and stood over the CB. They cut to a shot of Dan Marino and he was pointing and shaking his head, his lips read "This **** has got to stop.
 
I agree Wanny. It angered me all season to see him targeted so much. I know he is a huge threat, but we became HALF dimensional......not even a the full one dimension of a pass happy team. The rest of the WR's and TE's didn't get much action, targets, or plays designed for them specifically. Cameron should have been targeted way more and Parker should have been playing after week 4.

Our offense was crippled by Lazor's infatuation with Landry, plain and simple. And if he wasn't throwing him the ball, he was running a reverse or an end around........as if our porous O-line could hold anyone long enough for those types of plays to come into fruition.

I hope they don't wear the kid out or get him injured.

Oh, I agree that he does go to Landry too often when the play isn't working and nobody is open. That is when Ryan needs to to pull the ball down and scramble for five yards.

For what it's worth, I do expect to see more of Ryan scrambling in those situations next year, for a couple of reasons. First, because a certain OC was known as a dictator who didn't want him to do that, and second because that ankle should be healed up. Rumor is he might need surgery on that, btw.

Ryan has said straight up to anyone who will listen that he does want to run the ball more. :idk:

He should want to run the ball more. 32 rushes in 16 games for someone with speed is not acceptable.
 
I don't even know why I come here when questions like this show the IQ of this place...
 
So, how good was Landry in 2015? he was good

Did he take away targets from other WR's or, was that based on necessity and the time RT had to throw? he didn't take away anything - it's a by product of our offense and tannheill

Was he somewhat of a Cameron killer at TE, as Hoops alluded to, in forcing him to try and block? no, cameron wasn't very effective when the ball went his way, no reason to think with more targets that would change

Do you want to see him be targeted this much in the future?no

Any way he can improve his avg and TD's?that's an obvious yes
 
Of course Lazor told Tannehill to always throw short. And before that the excuse was that Philbin told Lazor to tell Tannehill to always throw short. There is no possibility that a Miami Dolphin QB could actually be the one making conservative decisions. Ryan Tannehill is the perfect specimen.
