It's easy, and only takes a few moments.We make the playoffs regardless. it's not like we had close competition in the AFCE this year. But the AFCCG came down to a razor's edge, without Dorsett's contribution we probably do not win that fight.That catch in the AFCCG was amazing. They don't make the Super Bowl or maybe even the playoffs without him. Glad he is back.
I hate to say I told you so. Wonder when you guys start to listen. I’ve never been wrong lol
Way ahead of you...
You really have the temerity to blame me for making a ''ridiculously misleading post'' and then you go and use those numbers?
Dorsett was, in fact, on pace for a 64 catch season through 4 games. And that includes that Detroit game.
Dorsett's last actual 6 games before Gordon played against the Dolphins:
AFC Divisional against the Titans: healthy scratch
AFC Championship game: 1 catch
Super Bowl 52: 1 catch
Texans: 7 catches
Jags: 5 catches
Lions 0 catches
In 2 seasons, 2 playoff runs and 2 Super Bowls, 6 games (5 played, 1 healthy scratch) all of them without Gordon, Dorsett has had ONE game where he has more than one catch. Which is exactly what my previous post stated. If you need a reliable WR 3 that's going to get constantly open against lesser CB's, Dorsett is not the guy. If you need an Ace-in-the-sleeve that's going to make one catch like the one against KC, sure.
Nothing misleading about a player that has played 2 years each for two different teams, has had no significant impact whatsoever in either, and averages 307 yards per season, which is what he had more or less this year with 290.
Dorsett has 1237 career yards in those 4 years, Gordon had 737 in 12 games with zero preparation with the team, getting traded in the middle of the season after playing only 5 games for the Browns in the previous 3 seasons combined. Gordon had 1646 yards in 2013. Dorsett will never sniff half of that in any season of his career.
If you're satisfied with a WR that had one target combined in the two biggest games of the year (AFCCG and SB) and couldn't establish himself in a WR core of Edelman+a very declined Hogan and a jack-of-all-trade-but-not-really-a-receiver Patterson, be my guest.
We need depth players too. Just look at all the contributions Danny Amendola made over the years from the depth wideout slots. If you don't have that guy it's harder to get a good receiver matched up against a linebacker or create defensive breakdowns.
Dorsett is primed to have a very strong role in the offense next year and given his play in limited time I personally think he's up for it..
Not consistent enough for my liking. He does have the physical attributes..
Only a miserable human being discusses things with the tone you do. You're truly a very tough and imposing figure using insults in every paragraph via the internet. Embarrassing.
On topic:
I used last year's stats because you deliberately posted false info to argue your point:
''However, since you've chosen to highlight that Detroit game, I'll highlight every other one of Dorsett's games before Gordon came onto the scene and displaced him:
Catches/Targets
7/7
5/7
4/7
3/3
total: 19/24''
The last two games are games where both Gordon and Dorsett played, against the Colts and Dolphins, so Dorsett only had 3 games without Gordon, one of which was the Lions game. Which is why i showed the actual 5-6 previous games that Dorsett played without Gordon. But it didn't suit your argument so you descended into a tirade of insults.
And of course having only one decent playoff game that resulted in 4 catches/40 yards/1 TD is ''a stupid argument''. Who would ever want a receiver that can actually create separation and perform in the playoffs? We had ONE capable receiver this year after the Gordon suspension, and the door was wide open for Dorsett to establish himself and he didn't.
Dorsett has 7 catches for 120 yards in these 2 playoff runs combined. Which averages out to 1,4 catch per game and 24 yards. For a simple comparison, Amendola had 152 yards on 8 catches, and Hogan had 128 yards on 6 catches in last years Super Bowl alone.
The crux of your argument that Dorsett was ''on pace'' to have so-and-so catches makes no sense.
Ryan Fitzpatrick had 11 TD passes in the first three games. I guess he was on pace to have 50+ TD's. Ended with 17 for the season but who's counting?
This was a pretty weak argument. Yes Dorsettt's production was low if you tie the two postseasons together, because most of that production was in the most recent postseason, and we weren't actually counting on Dorsett for very much production at all in 2017-2018.Only a miserable human being discusses things with the tone you do.
