CD Lamb last 17 games

[jwitten82]

Including the post season, he has put up the following numbers: 82 catches, 993 yards, and 4 touchdowns. His last 100 yard receiving game was Halloween last year, he's going on almost a year with ZERO hundred yard games. I think he's a good number 2 receiver, but not a legit number one receiver.

Dak attacks in 3.....2.....1......

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Cooper made him look better than he is.

Him and Gallup both are just #2's.

 

[Risen Star]

Fine print.....

* He's had Dak Prescott and Cooper Rush throwing him the football.

 

[jazzcat22]

Kellen Moore factor.

 

[Nexx]

a certain someone can make wide receivers disappear and even kill their careers.

 

[The Natural]

Amari Cooper (who was allegedly the #1) also did not put up a 100 yard game here since Halloween, maybe WR isnt the problem?

Who is the best WR in the league?

He would have meager #1 stats playing with these QBs.

Whole offense slumped last year second half not just Ceedee.

This year we are a run first offense that played with a backup for 5 games. You don’t throw for 200 yards per game and expect to have a WR go for a buck 25 and two tubs.

Ceedee is the overwhelming leader in targets, catches, and yards. Proportionally, he’s a huge chunk of our passing production.

Can’t just look at stats in a vacuum and act like they define anyone. Add context. We are a run first team now, don’t expect pass first stats.

I've never had a really high opinion of Lamb.

At OU, he was a play maker with the ball in his hands, but it's easy to manufacture space for your play makers in the Big XII. He did not have to create a ton of space on his own, and now it seems he may be having issues doing just that in the NFL.

Good receiver; happy to have him. Still think he was a great value where he was drafted, especially at the time. But he's not a legit #1.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The #1 vs complementary debate is fair, but CeeDee has proven beyond doubt at this point that he's a legit NFL starter. We are really just debating the size of his next payday.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Will remind that Cooper had 2 1100 + yard seasons with the current QB. In 2019 both Cooper and Gallup had over 1100 with Cobb over 800.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Last year had alot of mouths to feed every game, this year we are using a ball control offense...not saying CD is a clear #1 just saying maybe the 100 yard game meter is not the best metric.

I also think people mix up being a top 5 WR with being a WR1.

There are like 20-22 WR1’s at any given time. These are just guys who can be relied on as the focal point of the passing game and be keyed on by opposed DC’s. If the guy is 40%ish of your passing game production consistently then he’s a 1.

90ish catches, 1200ish yards and 8ish tubs is generally what you get from the non top-5/6 WR1’s. Ceedee is firmly in that 12-15 range of WR’s. Does that mean he’s elite? No. But does it mean he’s a 1? Yes.

Keep in mind all good passing attacks have multiple WR’s. Relying on 1 guy to do it all is how you get a Rams/Cooper Kupp situation.

And Lamb’s only 1000 yard season was in a 17-game schedule (unlike those Amari and Gallup seasons), and without the bonus 17th game against NE Lamb doesn’t break 1000

That's fair but not just, has he ever really had Number 1 WR targets up until this year...

No doubt about that. I think he’s firmly in the Marvin Jones/Michael Gallup/Adam Thielen tier. With most offenses starting 3 WR’s now, Few teams have both #2’s and #3’s better

Dallas is averaging 30 pass attempts per game, let's not act like we're running a 90s offense. Hell, Irvin put numbers in a run first offense

 

[My3Sons]

I think CD's random drops hurt his numbers. It also hurts that the Dallas QB is not a top 15 NFL QB. Dak has had flashes, but...

But the number of his drops are very concerning,imo
