And yet, when the 1s were out there in preseason it was Jarwin starting and not Schultz. Sorry, but at the end of the day, you need to produce. When Schultz goes contract shopping at the end of the year, he's not going to be selling his blocking skills for the most part, it'll mostly be about what he's produced and that's what'll get him his money. And while he was a great surprise last season, whatever he averages, Jarwin averages better. If Jarwin can't stay healthy then it's great to have Schultz with a little drop-off. But when your future with the team is dependent on another guy's health, you're NOT the guy.
It's great to have both and you no doubt work them each into the system for production. Plus, you can ease up on Jarwin's snaps if you want. But if you want to attack a defense, Jarwin is your man and it's not close. Small sample size in preseason but Schultz caught 2 balls for 26 yards. Jarwin caught 1 for 25. When your tight end can gain you a quarter of a football field in one clip, you load that weapon more times than not. Case closed.
well you need both really unless you have a do it all TE thats dynamic
Goddard and ertz is like shultz and Jarwin albeit not as dynamic etc
lets not undersell shultz being solid in all facets because of his average ..you know who # 82 was more like Shultz and his gold jacket will await..
shultz as better blocker would start or be in a few more snaps and let jarwin comes in for splash plays.
having both is optimal no need to choose..
