So Parker Might Not Play This Week Either

Dvp said in an interview earlier this week gass told him on Saturday he was sitting him to give him a few more days with his finger.

So why are people running with all these other narratives?

That's what I assumed. And I've been arguing with the Narrative Brigade all week. Couldn't tell you.

But only 4tds, which is near the bottom. And 56 attempts; also near the bottom. Again, using averages and ratios are fine. But the actual numbers are near the bottom.

I'm trying to stay away from the algebra! Lol

You said that we're near the bottom in receiving TDs, but that isn't true... Miami is in the top half of the league in TD receptions (there are 17 teams with fewer TD receptions, so that puts Miami in the top 47%):

10 KC
8 Tampa
6 LAC, Min, Cin
5 NO, Bal, Jax, NE, Sea
4 Pit, Det, GB, Ind, Mia
3 LA, Den, Car, Hou, NYJ, SF
2 Was, Atl, Ten, Cle, Chi
1 Oak, Phi, NYG, Dal, Buf
0 Ari

Also, this is on the fewest pass attempts in the league, making Miami more efficient, hence why they are in the top 5 in pass attempts per TD. The top 10 is:

5.5 KC
7.6 Tampa
11.8 Cin
12.8 Mia
13 LAC
13.8 Sea
14 Min
14.8 NE
15.6 Jax
16 NO

All of this says that the Miami passing game is very efficient at scoring TDs, which is a good reflection on the work of the receivers as a collective unit. Hence why I believe they are good so far.

I do agree with you that 2 games is too small of a sample size to draw any conclusions. It is however all we have right now.

Another thing we will definitely agree on, as you point out, is, irrespective of our view on the receivers, we all want them to do well and we all want Miami to win tomorrow!

That is all true. Can’t argue with any of those facts!

Ugh, this WR group is near the bottom of the league in yards, ypc and TDs. Why do people have this perception that they’re any good? Now, this poster isn’t only talking about the WRs. But I keep hearing similar things or that this WR group is really good.....

If you understood our offense, then might understand why this receiver corps is so good.

I'm not going to waste my time educating you because i don't think it would "take".

I will tell you it has everything to do with WHAT we do and WHAT we are trying to do, and HOW we do it.

Lastly, I'll drop you something to ponder- this receivimg corps has done everything Gase has asked of it. There are few drops, few route errors, high completion percentage and good blocking.

It is one of the strengths of this team, and one of the best in the NFL for what is required and demanded of it.

There will not be a superstar from this group- and I love that.

I hear what you’re saying. As a group, they don’t need a superstar WR 1 and they run efficient high probability plays. It’s why RTs comp % is so high.

I like Stills for what he does. One of the most efficient WRs. I’d like a little more volume though. I just don’t think they have enough and unless DVP becomes that guy, then they’ll be searching for the right guy this offseason. Wilson is a nice 3rd WR. Does a little bit of everything and Grant to fill in behind Wilson. Nice depth. I’d love to see them find the next Tyreek Hill. Maybe next year.

Remove what you see on the highlight reel and you’re left with avg in TDs, below avg in 3rd down eff, below avg in 1st downs, below avg in yards, and below avg in ypr. They’re going to fall farther behind as the season progresses in these categories. But if they keep winning then it doesn’t really matter.

Parker will probably get hurt putting on his jersey

Ha! My thinking exactly. The dude's a freaking China doll - he breaks easily. If he manages to keep himself from injury long enough, his speed alone on the field, not to mention his hands - high reach - would definitely be a major headache for any opposing teams' defensive coordinator; Parker spreads out the field.

If only his rash of injuries subsided for a time, we could be a little more dominate on offense.

If Parker is not out there today against the Raiders, you can bet he will be in the New England game on week 4.

Except for the randy moss years, the patriots haven’t needed a super star wr, they have won with smart, quick wrs who make tough catches.

True, but they have also had one of the top delivery systems in history.
