I said he's overrated outside of Cleveland. The guy has made 4 straight pro bowls because he's viewed as a consistent pro bowl quality player by most people. Yet on here, we have people saying he's not really that important, he should be cut in a year, hes overrated, etc, etc.
There's not really many people in that middle ground it seems. Outside Cleveland he's a perennial pro bowler that receives a good amount of media attention and is a really well known name. But here... he's just meh for a lot of fans.
I personally think your view of him being a damn good #2 WR is accurate in my opinion and falls in that appropriate middle ground.
Life is good!Oh how the times have changed. Reading the last few pages is hilarious. We've got an all-time hall of famer at WR and now we are arguing if our other pro-bowl WR is worth keeping because we have another potential pro-bowler waiting in the wake that we snagged in the 4th round.
I'm rock hard right now.
Guys, we've gone 10 posts talking about Callaway without @Lee speaking up, has anyone heard from him?
I think you put too much weight into pro-bowl selections. They're meaningless--especially when you get in as an alternate. I really don't see anyone calling Jarvis one of the elite WR's in the league.
Here's a link that measures Jarvis as the 83rd most efficient WR out of 84 WRs with 50+ catches.Here is a link from Anthlon Sports raking Odell #4 and Jarvis #10 for 2018.

And here is one that has Odell at #6 and Jarvis #11-15, this article is more about Amari Cooper, but its another sports writers opinion.

Personally I have Odell in top 5, maybe top 3, and Jarvis top 15, maybe 15 itself. Not sure what you call Elite, but Jarvis is very good.

Wide receivers are ranked according to DYAR, or Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement. This gives the value of the performance on plays where this WR caught the ball, compared to replacement level, adjusted for situation and opponent and then translated into yardage. DYAR (and its cousin, YAR, which isn't adjusted based on opponent) is further explained here.That feels like a stat that just ranks receivers based on their depth of route.
Lockett at the top. I'm pretty sure he ran the most deep routes last year, and I don't think anyone is calling Tyler Lockett an elite WR.
Landry, Tate, Enunwa at the bottom--all guys who get a ton of catches in the short to intermediate areas of the field.
Sounds like the stat is accurate. Trying to say this stat tells you how good a WR is would be a mistake.
They got away with borderline average guys in Hubbard, Robinson, and Harrison. More worried about Corbett making the jump since the interior is super important to what Kitchens is trying to doHoly crap we are stacked. Fucking stacked!
(except OT, but whatever)

Why would anyone ever listen to Stephen A. Smith, thoI browse multiple general football forums and I don't see anyone overrating Juice. Even on reddit, most football fans from other teams view him as a really really good #2.
Now if you're listening to dudes like Stephen A Smith then you are probably right.
