    Yeah Stills had been disappointing but he wasn't that good in Miami statistically. He was only on the radar for the kneeling when thinking about it.

    Probably due to the fact that this is a poorly designed offense that relies on players winning matchups rather than scheming players open.

    That's definitely part of the problem.

    Because he forces the double off Hop or he is able to burn the other team for doubling Hop. They cannot play Fuller one on one and he can get behind every CB in the league.

    We know why... and the safeties get back and the run game also becomes more effective.
    What I was saying was more in regards to one player should not make the 'week to week' drastically change so much. It shouldn't happen thus it's crazy.
    It's like,
    " F' it ...Fuller's not playing so we're not sending anyone in motion. We're running it right in the gut. I don't care if you put 9 in the box and are holding RBs to 1.4 ypc. I dare you to stop us. Triple dog dare you. Adda Baby! "

    And Fuller is not the only player that can go deep. Send Stills deep more often. Stills has big game potential from OU to NO to Mia. They just gotta use him. Remember when Texans tried a deep ball to Fuller against the Patriots and he couldn't hold on to the ball? The very next play they sent Stills on the exact same route, touchdown. Stop depending on a guy you cant depend on and take advantage of the players on the field.

    Stills isnt Fuller. Stills had his best year by far in 2014 in N.O. with a healthy Brees. They won 7 games.

    Ive kind of backed off my position of letting Fuller walk, but his combination of skill and raw speed isn't easily replaceable

    Funny, Jackson had much better numbers but he was the main guy. That comparison taking into account the numbers just goes to show its about Fuller's threat

    DeSean has played 14 games in 8 seasons. I dont see Fuller ever doing that again.

    He only missed 3 games his first 4 seasons. I had the same impression, but his injury rep was largely overblown looking back.

    We should have traded for Desean last year when we had the chance.

    Is Stillz as good as Fuller? Has Fuller been the main receiver on his team while playing with a Brees type talent?

    What are their best catches per game seasons?
