I presumed you were counting week six and if we are then it is 24 catches. I don't understand why week six wouldn't be counted. And it is still ridiculous to act like his production dipped by throwing out a stat of 1.5 catches per game over the last ten games when he only played five.
If he didn't play then it is silly to use stats to make it seem like his production went down because of his play on the field.
I was just pointing out his production in the past 10 games when I showed a column of all 3 rookie WRs in an earlier post.
Boyce 8 catches, Dobson 18 catches, and Thompkins 11 catches. Those are the numbers since mid-October ten games ago. The reality was that NONE of our 3 rookie WRs stepped up when they had a great opportunity. It's also one of the more important reasons why Edelman has had so much production. The reality is that Brady really has no other trusted WR to go to on a regular basis, which means that he's seeing a lot more looks than anyone else most of the time.
I chose the past 10 games because it was easier for me to figure out an average of per game catches, as it was a nice round number I also thought it'd be more appropriate to show what the 'REAL' offense looked like since that was the period where Gronkowski coincidentally was returning.
The bottom line is that we all expect a nice 2nd yr leap, but still have a weakness at the position and would like to add a more experienced player who's affordable like E.Sanders.
