Who asked you?I am ok with the deal since it is only one year, but I was never a huge fan of Decker because he tends to come up small in big situations.

Oh great....here come the same old jokes about "Bill just loves his white WRs HAAHAHAHAHAH"
Decker is a diversity hire.
Question: are you calculating depth of target as ypc minus yac?Not by itself, it's not. Type of routes, depth of target and (obviously) the QB, are all factors, too.
In 2016, Hogan's catch rate was 65.5% with a ypc of 17.9 yds, and 34% YAC. That's an excellent catch rate for that average target depth.
In 2017, Hogan's catch rate was 57.6% with a ypc of 12.9 yds, but 40% YAC.
With Gronk and Cooks available to cover the deeper target range, and with the absence of intermediate target range players (Bennett, Edelman, and Mitchell from 2016, with the latter two removed suddenly at the last minute), Hogan was covering significantly more intermediate range routes than he did in 2016. And he was struggling a bit with them. In contrast, Amendola (more practiced in those routes) had a 71% catch rate at nearly the identical depth of target, but with a lower YAC %.
I hope we win SB 53 so Decker gets a ring with us and not Jete!

Don't worry, only ring Decker would ever get with jets* was a phone call.
Injuries have taken a told on him but maybe mcdaniels could work his magic with him. He was never the fastest guy but he got open.
To be fair, he had some terrible drops last year. It was partially on him too.
Looks like a strong overall group to me however it shakes down. Now let's do something about linebacker depth -- please.Interesting, Mike Reiss views him as the 5th receiver on the depth chart (4th without Edelman).

Decker not at practice nor has he been assigned a number. Maybe not signed just yet ?
Decker, Britt, Patterson, Hogan=anti-smurfs
Van Jones will hate this offense:
Brady, Gronk, Edelman, Hogan, Decker, Burkhead....WHITE LASH.
BB was in the paper with his black safety and cornerback and said they all looked the same. Couldn't tell them apart.BB would sign a guy whose skin was hunter green with purple stripes if he thought the guy could do the job.
