While I think there is truth in that, I still dont think its a scary crew. I think pittman is very good but would make a better #2. The others are good #3-whatever but I would like to have a better #1.

I do, too. Next likely would be retirement. I'd be most surprised if he went somewhere else.

I've always thought Hilton for 1-yr is more likely than one of these overvalued guys getting a $70m contract. We'll see.

Also, at 18 career catches for 173 yards he's also our 2nd most accomplished WR who doesn't get hurt getting out of bed .

I don't disagree that Wentz held back our receivers, but that was mostly TY and Pascal whose yards per game dropped by 35% and 39% respectively YoY. I'm not sure how much Wentz held back the other WRs:

Campbell - Hurt most of the year as normal.
Dulin - Actually took a step forward and showed he could have a future at WR.
Patmon - Started the season on IR. Limited playing time at the end of the season.
Strachan - Sat the final 15 games of his "red shirt" year

I'm not sure what you are getting at here

I think we as fans have forgotten about Nyheim Hines. His targets and receptions were down last year. He could be huge as a check down option for ryan

Was trying to point out that the WRs who were mostly impacted by Wentz's play are not on (at least the current) roster.

I don't think we have, at least I haven't. I fully expect Hines' '22 season to look much more like his '20 season than his '21 season. But we still need to add at least a good WR2 option and maybe a WR3 as well.

Ryan has the ability to get every skill position player more involved, from Pitt, Hynes, JT, MOC etc.

Wentz was a cancer to this team. No more checking to RPO's, no more waiting for the big play to happen, no more improvisation in the pocket wher your OL don't know where you are.

Ill bet sacks go down by 1/3 this season.
