Jordy Nelson had more drops in his 2nd NFL season than Davante Adams. (according to Paul Imig) No, this isn't saying he's going to be Jordy great, just that it's not the end of the world for a WR to be crap in his second season.

Kind of crazy looking at the drops this season. Demarious Thomas (10 hasn't played tonight yet), Mike Evans (10), Amari Cooper (10) and Brandon Marshall (9) all have more drops than Adams (6). The difference is those guys MAKE plays that allow fans to forget those drops. Adams has not this season.


Allen Robinson has Allen Hurns
John Brown has Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald
Martavis Bryant has Antonio Brown
Donte Moncrief has T.Y. Hilton

There's a theme here and it's these guys all have someone else that defenses have to focus on. The only one who is is the top threat that defenses have to focus on is Jarvis Landry.

Adams would look a whole lot better with Jordy Nelson and Ty Montgomery on the field too.

That catch he has against Peterson with Aaron throwing against his body was a catch and could've given him the confidence to play a better game.

Maybe he can start outside one day, but not now. Jordy Nelson makes Cobb, Adams... everybody better. As of right now while Cobb is our top option, we don't have a legitimate #1 on this team.

Maybe instead of defense (unless there's a bluechip ILB on the board), we look for dynamic talent on the offensive side. I mean we won't get Calvin Johnson, but we can at least look for somebody.

As much as we'd all like it, you can't hit on all of your draft picks and continually replenish starting quality talent at all positions of major importance, much less with the injury issues we've had this season. Although I will admit that no apparent solid hits on any #1 or #2-quality WRs (except maybe Montgomery which is extremely premature) in several years has exacerbated the impact that losing Jordy has.
