How dare you make excuses for Dak!
Actually that's not a far stretch. At all.
Ertz YAC was 3.5 per reception in 2016. That's a far stretch from 1.6.
241st is 241st.

He’s a bit of a Dak apologist.
Interesting.... “Some Dak.”
I only bitch about Witten's YAC and continuously catching the ball just short of the sticks things that are totally under his control that he didn't use to be nearly as bad at. Things that literally have little to nothing to do with Dak and that even an average TE wouldn't do.
Lol if 241st is bad, what is 1.6, like the worst ever? To say there is no difference is a joke. That's the difference between a stalled drive and a first down a lot. You throw the ball to your TE 3 times in a row and please tell me that 6 extra yards makes no difference. I mean that's a pathetic argument for even you.
Expecting a guy to do more than fall down when he catches the ball is normal for every position. If you expect no more than that from a TE then don't waste your time throwing to the TE at all.
Well that's not what I'm talking about. Sturm was addressing his downfield targets, not his YAC only.
Actually it's an article about Witten's decline. Which is why he addressed the YAC specifically in his article...
He also specifically addrsssed his downfield targets.
Well because it is showing a causal link between the two things. When a guys skills decline it impacts all areas of his game. The YAC shows a direct causal link between his skills and declining numbers because YAC is purely based on Witten. And obviously a declining skill set is going to lead to less explosive plays. Which is where the 20+ yard plays stuff comes in. It's all indications of a very declining player.
You do realize that players don't last forever right? You can't just hold onto the same WR's and TEs for a decade or more and expect them to play like they are in their prime.
Imagine that.
His best two years of catch rate were the last 2 with Dak.
