We all seem to think that we will get more out our WR's to make up for our TE's. Let's use yards as a measure. I'll use rounded numbers.
2012
WR - 2700
TE - 1500
RB - 650
total - 4850
2013
WR - 2850
TE - 750
RB - 750
total - 4350
I suppose the WR's could do even more than last year. The numbers below require more from the tight ends. I don't think that it is a good idea to expect even more from our wide receivers. I am presuming that we "want" to have about the same yards as 2012, and make up for the decease in production at the tight end position.
2014
WR - 3000
TE - 1100
RB - 750
total - 4850
To me, an obvious key to success is have a 3rd TE who can produce when Gronk is out. Hooman is fine as one of the tight ends. However, Hooman and Mulligan was a failure as a TE duo. Of course, that "tight end" could be Keller or LaFell. Or perhaps, Gronk will be healthy all year (or at least in the playoffs).
