It's not completely erroneous. He just made the argument poorly. 38% is a significant portion

Is "he made the argument poorly" code for "he was completely wrong"? Thirty-eight percent is nowhere close to "all but a couple."

I get that Beasley, Witten, and Dez are better targets so it doesn't matter too much but for a guy that plays 500 passing snaps running routes you can certainly improve that production. He needs to get better in year 3.

Anyone can improve their production. But you'd be hard-pressed to find a more productive No. 2 receiver on any team that threw the ball as little as we did and that had an All-Pro wide receiver and Pro Bowl tight end who had anywhere close to as many targets as Dez (136) and Witten (90) did.

Again you are arguing minutiae and mistaking me for taking the whole of his argument. Completely means that all facets of it and I think the fact that near 40% of his TDs came off of that clearout play is significant. He was mistaken on a point of fact but the correction is still meaningful.

The next is better than begging the question but I can come up with presumptive narratives just as well. For example, you wouldn't be hard-pressed to find a #2 WR that can get open on underneath routes, is physical at the point of catch and isn't a body catcher. Speaking to your narrative I present Emmanuel Sanders, Torrey Smith, Brandon Marshall, Mohamed Sanu, Reggie Wayne, Keenan Allen, Eddie Royal and Kenny Stills. Who all were either 3rd options or played with top WR and TE and outperformed TWill after normalizing for overall attempts.

When you said "Romo only threw it to him when he was wide open."

Either you were exaggerating, or Williams got "wide open" on more than 14 percent of the routes he ran.

Forest trees and such. This argument makes no difference as to TWill the WR.

I proved that your point has no basis in fact. So much so that you have to hide behind obvious lies.

*Yawn*

You will defend anyone who wears a star.

Next you will pull up stats and explain to me why MO should be starting, and is a good corner. You will then proceed to tell me why it wasn't Danny McCray's fault he sucked so bad at safety, and it wouldn't be such a bad idea if we needed him there.
