I also never thought he was a true #1 - he was a great secret weapon when teams were worried about Reggie Wayne, hence why he got the "ghost" nickname. I also thought he was always better as a slot receiver than outside.
Sure he's had a few big games in his career, and any good receiver should have that. But a #1 is a guy you can count on every game to be your leading receiver. TY has just never been that guy. If we found a true #1, I think he could go back to having an impact, assuming he isn't too old at this point.
And its crazy to think that but he's already 30! and I just looked that up and realized he has the same birthday as me, so cool and all, but he's gonna be 31 in a couple of weeks!
