We have only one legitimate WR on the team, in Landry. Parker is not a #1, Stills just goes deep, Carroo is a bust and Grant is slowly coming along. So first of all, we are talking about not Paying Landry $X, right? However, he is producing for at least 2-3 WRs right now. I know the next thing that will be discussed is stats and his average per catch. So because we don't have a vertical QB in house, a shaky line and play calling that requires bubble screens as a solution to run the ball, Landry has to pay the price for this? Think about it, for a sec. He is basically the only option in the passing game, and has been. It is not his fault that he has to catch short passes and advance it to average 8-9 yards a catch. This board and this team has no vision. You have to picture the guy with decent talent around him. Just because they don't have a coach, WR or QB, doesn't mean Landry can be really effective. Think about it on a level playing field this year. Julius is Julius from Denver, Parker is an Alpha X, Stills takes the top off the ball. Oh and we actually don't have a scrub line or qb. Landry is lined up against a nickel or LB and is dragging across the middle, can easily average 10-12 yards a catch. Did you see the big plays two seasons ago against AZ and the Jets? The inabilities of this team from coaches to personnel under-value Landry. He is the victim of a bad offense. Bad offenses don't have good stats, team-wise and individually. And his passion is second-to-none. He loves this team. He will fight for this team. And maybe if Parker, Stills, Carroo, Gase and Tannehill had that kind of fight in them, we wouldn't be talking about losing Landry.
So let me understand this?

I stopped reading after "Stills just goes deep" ..tells me all I need to know about the rest of the post.

I got one line further...shame on me.
1) Stills is a better WR than Landry.
2) We don't have a vertical QB in house... How did Stills manage 14 yards per, Grant 15 yards per and Stills 14 yards per? Did they have a different QB throwing to them?
3) It's the bubble screens! Ok! So why his Landry the only one being thrown those bubble screens?

Stills is a very good WR, and he's improving his craft. WAY off there OP. That said, IMHO Stills and Landry complement each other well in the WR corp. If Parker lived up to his billing, IMHO we'd have a nearly perfect balance in the unit.
I couldn't finish it either. Sorry Tannchise.

Stills is NOT a better WR than Landry, that's nonsense. And to answer your questions... the reason he manages 14 yards per catch and Grant 15 is because of the routes the routes they run. They aren't nearly as involved or vital to this offense as Landry is. You guys are crazy people.

What does Landry do better than Stills?
Why is Landry not running deeper routes?

Because he's the only WR that we have that also has the skillset of a running back who can make people miss after the other WR's fail to block their guy and get 5-6 yards by himself.

Get open for one. Which is very important.
Make people miss in the open field.
Run people over
He has better hands
Catches tough passes across the middle
Block
Convert First downs
The ONLY thing Stills does better than Landry is stretch the defense because he's faster. And he has less penalties.
Apparently Landry should ask for $20 million a year, 50% ownership of the team, and a cut of the beer sales on game day since he's just so absolutely indispensable and needs to be resigned whatever the cost.
God forbid we lose the best receiver we have on this juggernaut of an offense. May end up with a losing season--like the one we just had. The horror.

And to answer your question Why doesn't Landry run deeper routes? Why doesn't Stephen Curry Play in the post? Why doesn't Tom Brady run the read option? Because they are better at doing other things so why have them do something their not as good at? E

Laundry couldn't play Stills position. Outside receivers go against the best db's week in and week out. Slot guys go against nickle backs , linebackers and safeties. two different positions. Outside guys are often doubled with safeties also.
