Holmes was pretty darn good at WR for us.
we also need to factor in OC..
BA was vertical so guys like Wallace and Nate Washington had great stats
I wouldn't necessarily use the argument that Ben "made" Plax and Holmes. Both were solid players that were 1st round picks. There is a reason they were 1st round picks to begin with.
and he is 6'4"
2017 Mock
1. T.J Watt, OLB/DE, Wisconsin - will be a huge mistake if available and we pass
2. Cordrea Tankersley, CB, Clemson
3. Josh Jones, S, N.C. State
3. Adam Shaheen, TE, Ashland
4. Trey Hendrickson, DE, Florida Atlantic
5. Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M
6. Barry Sanders, RB, Oklahoma State (How can you go wrong with that name, however the sample size is so small that his dad may be better even in his 50's)
7. Alec Torgersen, QB, Pennsylvania
Slappy, I expect more from you. You are one of the brighter posters here. Comparing production after they leave with different QBs in different systems is apples to oranges. I want to see what they do with Ben. Wallace had a higher YPC and more TDs with comparable yards with Ben.
Good, yes.
ummm...isn't the argument that Ben makes WRs look better than they really are?
What better way to compare Wallace and Burress then? If Ben makes WRs look good, why not compare how they look when NOT playing with Ben?
Eli Manning with a good OL vs. Ryan Tannehill behind an OL in utter shambles isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison, though.
The Only Acceptable 2017 Draft Results For Some Steeler Fans:
1.30 OLB T.J. Watt, Wisconsin
2.62 CB Ahkello Witherspoon, Colorado
3.94 CB Cameron Sutton, Tennessee
3.105c CB Howard Wilson, Houston
4.135 CB Damontae Kazee, San Diego State
5.173 CB Brian Allen, Utah
6.213 CB Marquez White, Florida State
7.248 OLB Keion Adams, Western Michigan
2015 MNF Executive Champion!
Perhaps not...
But, again, if the argument is that Ben makes WRs look better than they really are, how does comparing them with Ben refute or support that particular argument?
He made Wallace look more better than he did Plaxico?
our offensive philosophy was different with Plax.... we were more ball control and weren't stretching the field like we were under BA. Wallace primarily ran go routes so it appears he was better but he wasn't.
