I stated sometime before the season that I wouldn't be real surprised if we had no 1000 yard WR with the number of targets that Aaron has.
It is hard to spit 4000 yards between 9 or 10 guys. give or take.

And sometimes that's a good thing. Like in '03, we didn't rack up 4000+ yards passing, but we did what is MORE important - throw 32 TDs. I could care less about yards. I'd much rather see Aaron throw for 40 TDs than 5000 yards. TDs are what wins games.
Anyways, that year, nobody even got 800 yards. It's because everyone and their Grandma was a target. Driver led with 52 receptions, then Green with 50, then 41 for Walker, 38 for Ferguson, 30 for Franks, 24 for Henderson, 21 for Fisher, 20 for Walls, and even 14 for Antonio Freeman in his last season for us.
As the current rate though, Driver will definitely get over 1000 yards and Jennings still might. That's fine. What's more important though is we continue to put points on the board. This year, we're averaging 26.8 which is slightly less than what we averaged in '03 and '07, but more than last year's team.
