Where are all the examples of WRs mattering in the post season?
They matter only in that you have to have them, not in terms of investing in them.
Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Calvin Jones, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Thomas, Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Deandre Hopkins, Devante Adams.....where are the titles?
The best WR in the NFL, Julio Jones, couldn’t make enough of an impact to stop the Patriots from closing a 25 point gap in the Super Bowl.
Michael Thomas puts up mind boggling numbers in the regular season but....
Unless your playing on a loaded offense with a hall of game QB and have a talented duo like the Rams with Holt/Bruce and the Colts with Harrison/Wayne historically they don’t make the big impact. Even those two examples that played on stacked teams were only able to win 1 title each. And those are the best examples of WRs mattering.
Brady couldn’t win a title with Moss but didnt have a problem winning with Edelman, Troy Brown and Deion Branch.
Just this season Tyreek Hill became the best WR to win a SB since Marvin Harrison. Before that it was Plaxico Burress, Alshon Jeffrey and a past his prime Demaryius Thomas.
The Eagles instantly regretted giving Alshon Jeffrey a new deal.
proof is in the history of the postseason.
Believe it or not, the Steelers, Ravens(with Ozzie Newsom), Patriots and Giants know better than you.
