Top WR duos in the NFL

[USArmyVet]

can we stop cooper references, hes a brown. GET over if.

Lastly coops 22mil did not help us while he was here , show me his 200 yard 3 tds performance that elevate dup in playoff game? or anytime in his career anywhere truly made such an impact the team was better for having him? Yes hes a very good player, and?? hes simply a very good one, hes not elite and, his 22mil was far too much to pay for him being the OTHER wr opposite of our true 1 in Lamb??

Show me of all those duos how many teams have kept and paid BOTH market deals. those who want Hop you are kidding yourself Lamb about to get paid and you cannot have 2 market WQRs at 20-25mil per on your team in a capped league, add in Gallup at 11mil..we could use some help but this is being overrated that we need that type of player to go with lamb. A nice Vet fa at 10-11 mil maybe but hop or other like get real!

glad i can help provide perspective, we were 12-5 with coop 12-5 without him and went to the 2nd round with and without him.. he made far too much money for what he would have done here.. MONEY was too large

sorry it was, we needed every penny we saved getting rid of him as right now we are what 7 mil OVER the cap??

NEXT debate i can squash..

hopefully Gallup is closer to his old self next year and we draft another or Tolbert and a FA like TY or less expensive vet FA can come in and contribute. i mean we have Lamb , a lot of teams like say KC have one great target and then go Target by committee, they did it at RB as well and it can work.

Funny that for the better part of your post you can substitute Dak's name for Amari's and have the same facts.

Some really strange comments in this thread. A great duo doesn’t mean both guys are great. They compliment each other and form a very productive duo.

#2’s - Every #2 on that list is heads and shoulders above anyone on our roster after Lamb.

Waddle, Higgins, and Smith would be #1’s on many teams.
Davis is a consistent deep threat and explosive plays all year.
Godwin, Thielen, Lockett have been # 1’s and are now very effective # 2’s who still get open regularly, but just are not targeted as much due to really good #1’s.

Williams is a big body receiver who is more of a possession receiver than deep threat, but he catches more deep sideline contested throws that Gallup ever did, which is why he has a 20 million/year contract.

Renfro is an amazing, bigger version of our own Beasley when in his prime. Renfro moves the chains on 3rd down as a great route runner who doesn’t drop passes.

Marquis Brown is, in my opinion, the only guy on the list who made it by riding the coattails of Hopkins, but he has great speed and hasn’t reached his potential yet.

For those of you who hate Dak Prescott, get real. You can be honest and recognize that Lamb may be the only guy we have who deserved to be a starting WR last year and still hold Dak responsible for his interceptions and poor play at times. Lousy receivers who can’t get open and drop passes doesn’t excuse the QB. Dak had a bad year, and when you have bad receivers, it’s even more important that the QB protect the ball and throw it away more. Especially now that we have a better defense.

Lamb has proven he is a #1.
Gallup was never anything more than a big play #3 who was never a good possession receiver, which is what we haven’t had since Beasley left.
Brown and others are just JAGs, special teamers and roll players who should never start or sign a second contract as progress stoppers.

maybe true BUT most of those teams will lose those #2s when it's time for their new deals because like cooper, we cannot like many teams afford to have 2 top wrs making market money, we need to find a solid vet 2 that not going to demand 20+ mil

so those think Dhop need to get real. no way cinci and mia plus other will be able to afford to keep both and that the reason we let cooper go. lamb will be up for big deal and Gallup will better this year makes 11mil , so sure lets bring in a vet FA that can complement Lamb and \help dak but Dhop or a player like him that still owed big money and require a draft pick, umm NOPE/be realistic. some mentioned Thomas etc
KC did that very thing that jerry gets blasted for WRBC they got others casts offs and made it work, that part of a better OC , better scheme etc Kelce and a bunch of cast offs also a RBBC and it worked i know daks not Mahomes but we did have top 5 offense most of the games dak played the backend of the season. like been mentioned many of the duos did not make the playoffs.


just No on bringing in some big name high priced WR, im sure there a nice Vet that can be solid 2/3 to pair with Lamb and Gallup plus hopefully a young wr can step up and help.

Not a bad list. Ordering is off.

CD and Cooper would've made the list, but 5th round picks are nice too.

 

[blueblood70]

100% FACT

did we with Cooper, ced, gallup and Lamb, get past the 2nd round? nope same record, 2nd round exit ,with or without that deep WR group.

that not the issues, the issue was the lack of physicality up front along the OL with injuries, no run game, and inconsistent pass protection plus the OC and our scheme in the playoffs. Much of that will be improved and that what will help more than worrying how our #2 wr is or acting as if Cops ever down anything in this league that changed a team's playoff success.

Imena go name al those duos who made the playoff past year? ONE? did the SB champion have them?? nope

too bad LISTS cant make Superbowl's.. KC skill players at WR and RB didn't make many lists and they won a SB.

 

[BoysForLife]

somehow its all Dak's fault. I know it. I will let the Bash Dak crowd explain it for you

Please point to me where KCs receivers are on that page?

Bruh shut up. That's not the point of the thread lol. Long-winded goofy aaaaaaaa

ditto don't be telling me to shut up, do the same, this is an open forum..,

actually it is the point its posted because the OP is trying hard to say we miss AC or need to load up on wrs and again i say and will keep saying that was NOT the bigger issue.

the issue was the lack of physicality up front along the OL with injuries, no run game, and inconsistent pass protection plus the OC and our scheme in the playoffs. Much of that will be improved and that what will help more than worrying how our #2 wr is or acting as if Coops ever done anything in this league that changed a team's playoff success.

so most actual fans with a clue can see only one duo on the list made the playoffs and none won a SB etc etc etc can you see how KC won that game, the OL and the Run game in that 2nd half took over and made it easy for 15 to be efficient but not great in the pass game, ITs awesome when the OC can scheme his players open and outsmart the defense. exploit strengths.

OL. run game key to a successful offense. That takes a better OC and scheme.

did you just compare Mahomes to Dak? really. wow. thanks for the info, I never knew Dak wasn't like Mahomes. whew. my confusion gone.

seriously dude .... sarcasm. don't take yourself so seriously dude. chill, or I can send you a new stick so you can continue to beat the dead horse if that makes you feel better.....

 

[Sydla]

Allen is done and Williams is really just a deep threat.

Those later guys arent even duos. Its one really good guy and someone else.

Williams had over 1000 yards in 2021. He was injured last year. Allen and Williams are a really good duo.

Then again, you were the guy who flipped out on people when they questioned our WRs heading into 2022 saying we were fine. We weren't.

I would go Deebo and Aiyuk over the LAC guys. Deebo missed some time this year and had a QB carousel, but was first team all pro in 2021. Aiyuk had 1000+ yards and 8 TDs. How many of these duos would have produced with Garoppolo+MrIrrelevant instead of Allen/Hurts/Burrow/Herbert/Tua/Cousins?

Gallup had surgery to repair ligaments not to mention a broken femur. The last should heal nicely. It’s the ligament damage I’m concerned about. And I don’t think anyone is clamoring for 2 #1’s but a solid, dependable #2. They did not have that last year.

I can buy that.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I want you to find me a single WR who has at least 50 catches with a greater than 10 YPC average that is catching more than 75% of passes thrown his way. I would settle for 70% because I am pretty sure you only going to get the best in the NFL with that metric. So by your metric every WR is worse than a JAG.

Metrics are good. But he’s an old possession receiver. Not a lot of tds. We need a fast guy to
Pair with lamb. It’s as much about what we have as what we need. Now if he will take cheap money as a 3rd wr then ok.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Then again, you were the guy who flipped out on people when they questioned our WRs heading into 2022 saying we were fine. We weren't.

Ah no…….I’m the guy who told you lamb was a true number one. I’m also the guy that said we would be fine with the Weapons we had. Pollard was a big reason for that. I can’t control how the coaching staff continues to use him sparingly. Cowboys had the #1 scoring offense in football. They were fine.

Now Gallup disappointed and so did Tolbert. In that respect I under evaluated.

We need more weapons to win it all. But then my evaluation was not about winning it all.

 

[xwalker]

They didn't say great, just ranked them. If Allen and Williams could have stayed healthy, they would have been top 5.

It would be more meaningful to include TE, WR1, WR2. Then KC is at or near the top regardless of WR1, WR2...

10 ypc is not very high. You can’t blanket every receiver with 10-18 ypc into the same group. 75% catch percentage is very good, but at his low ypc, it didn’t result in as much production as players with much lower catch %’s. Yards per target tells the overall story better. Based on his high catch %, the Chargers were getting an average of 8.4 yards when they threw the ball in Keenan’s direction.



Even with only 55% catch chance, the Raiders got 8.8 yards per target out of Davante Adams. He’s that much more explosive of a player.

The Philadelphia Eagles got 10.3 yards per target out of AJ brown out of only a 61% catch percentage.

Minnesota got 9.8 yards per target out of Jefferson even though his catch chance was 6% lower than Keenan’s.



I bet we could find a bunch of mid tier TE’s who have really high catch percentages too, and their ypc is probably closer to Keenan’s than Keenan’s is to AJ. Catch% while ignoring discrepancies in ypc removes way too much context. Keenan’s yards per target is lower than many of the #2’s on this list.

 

[CWR]

too bad LISTS cant make Superbowl's.. KC skill players at WR and RB didn't make many lists and they won a SB.

Yeah while I agree with your premise, let's not pretend they don't have one of the most talented qbs to ever play the game.
