At least for catching TDs it seems to.Below are the top 15 receivers for TD receptions. Will this play in to who we draft or pick up in FA? It could.

 

Jimmy Graham - 16 - 6'7" - 265 lbs
Demaryius Thomas - 14 - 6'3" - 229 lbs
Dez Bryant - 13 - 6'2" - 222 lbs
Vernon Davis - 13 - 6'3" - 250 lbs
Calvin Johnson - 12 - 6'5" - 236 lbs
Brandon Marshall - 12 - 6'4" - 230 lbs
Julius Thomas - 12 - 6'5" - 250 lbs
Eric Decker - 11 - 6'3" - 214 lbs
AJ Green - 11 - 6'4" - 207 lbs
Jerricho Cotchery - 10 - 6'1" - 200 lbs
Larry Fitzgerald - 10 - 6'3" - 218 lbs
Marvin Jones - 10 - 6'2" - 195 lbs
Wes Welker - 10 - 5'9" - 185 lbs

It's not a coincidence that most redzone threats are big targets.  The windows get smaller in the redzone and a big receiver can simply go up and get balls that most smaller receivers can't.  In his prime, Smitty was great at using his strength and leaping ability to be better at that than any small receiver I've ever seen, but even with that, his career TD numbers lag behind most guys who have put up his yardage.

So it really comes down to how you use it?

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
