both Moore and Samuel are ranked in the bottom *third* of the league in separation.  They are very bad at getting separation. If you want to argue that separation in this case is less useful because of our O, fine.  But to say that "the chart's separation metric ... shows that neither Moore or Samuel are the dogs at separation that some here are trying to make them out to be ..." is incorrect. The chart suggests they are NOT getting separation. 

There are mitigating factors in this that make separation less than an amazing metric in determining much of anything; but the issue is that as a whole, our receiving corps is not getting separation.  When you have a guy like Julio Jones pulling double coverage, he has low separation; the net result is Ridley and Hooper having very high degrees of separation because of the attention Jones pulls.  We do have Wright with OK separation, but his catch % is garbage (56%... at least better than Samuel's 50%... Moore has been fairly reliable there, though).

I do not think these statistics treat our receives in a fair light because of 1) we are running a meh and predictable passing offense, and 2) we had an injured starter and then a backup QB the entire season.  But they still do not paint a good picture of any of our receives in the least, heh.

This chart shows the people that are actually getting the opportunities because they are in fact the better receivers in the league. Even Football outsiders has them ranked as the 4Oth & 60th best WRs in the league, and that's before their adjustment which puts them a little higher. I think that this is pretty good considering the circumstances.

Also mentioned in the other thread, one of our beat reporters confirmed that we were never actually interested in Emmanuel Sanders.

I'm watching tonight's game, and combined with what we saw this past Sunday, I'm really starting to wonder why not.

You watched Sanders playing against AZ

Allen had 4 passing TDs...Moore, Samuel and Olsen all 3 got into the end zone vs AZ

Fair point, but I also watched him playing against us.

Throw in that he's been in their system all of what, a week?
