every game he is getting more opportunities to show his talent...and when he came out of the draft he was a spectacular YAC player which is why I thought he would excel with dump off Dak...now the past few games Schultz has been medically unable to contribute as he was last year guy just catches and falls down so what do we see? Ceedee in motion with rub and crossing routes short on the field to get him the ball and outside - magically it's working...keep feeding him the ball on shallow routes and let him go to work

I was hoping for some compliments.

I just proved he's not a more efficient player today than he was as a rookie and everybody ignored it.
You gave raw data an rambled on until you threw a conclusion out there. Proving a point takes more effort than like hoarding

Wasn't he on the same pace as Justin Jefferson as a rookie until Dak went down?

The experiment with CD as a #1 isn't over yet.

We need to see how he responds during the playoffs. What he brings to the table, and how the opposing defences play him.

Hey, bros? I'm going to point out something about Ceedee Lamb's production over his still young career. I'm not necessarily suggesting anything. I'm just providing the numbers. You can make of it what you wish. You can think its meaningful or meaningless. You can be okay with the discussion or come at me and deal with the Pennsylvania Hands Exchange.

~no hands neck crack~

Now on to Lamb. A couple of months ago he was a fraud #1 WR around here and of course now he's one of the top 10 WRs in the game. That's the way we (you) roll.

He's really matured into a dominant player. We're watching him grow before our eyes. This guy is so much better than Drew Pearson.

But check this out. In Lamb's rookie year he was targeted 111 times. Coincidentally he's also been targeted 111 times so far this year. Here is his production with equal opportunity as a wide eyed rookie to now a vet #1...

2020: 74-935-5
2022: 69-928-6

You can reference his stats here.

Now before anyone says it, he's doing it now as the lead dog and getting that attention by defenses. He's also carrying more of a load with being targeted as many times in 12 games this year as he was in all of 2020. Some of you may think playing with Cooper Rush for 5 games this year helps explain it too but in 2020 Lamb had Andy Dalton for 9 and DiNucci and Gilbert for 1 each.

Maybe you think just attracting the attention as the 1 without Amari Cooper there to free you up explains this but aren't you at least a little bit surprised that this version of Ceedee in his 3rd year hasn't been any more productive on a per target basis than his rookie year with that motley crue of quarterbacks?

I certainly was.

You can use numbers to tell any story you wish to portray . . . His Maturity is in His Swag and Ability to pose His Will upon the Game. . . The season is still young and There are still big moments to come

Oh, so nonsense stuff like swag and "pose his will" while he is no more efficient than his rookie year on a per target basis.

Noted.

2020 CeeDee Lamb (5 games with Dak)
29
433
2

2020 Justin Jefferson
19
371
1

He barely played his first two games.

I know you're a cheerleader homer but Ceedee's numbers once the fraud broke his leg wasn't much different while Jefferson became a dominant player.

Jefferson >>> Lamb.

It's not close.

In terms of trying to project an opinion . . . my assessment is as valid as yours . . . where I am judging the action of current events as they unfold.

You are sticking you nose in Stats on paper and are claiming to have made a prevailing point.

You proved nothing

He does not seem to be dropping easy passes lately.
For this I am pleased.

Cee Dee is now double teamed instead of Cooper. Cee Dee has grown this year,
he is a better wide receiver now.
