But that's not what you've been saying. You've been saying it's one of the worst groups in the league.
If Lee is back to good health relatively early in the season and Chark steps up, bottom ten is not where I'd put them. Especially if Cole miraculously finds his mojo again.
Agreed on the Chark thing. It would be a sharp turn in skillset development/change for him at this point.
It is one of the worst groups in the league atm, bottom 10 for sure. Having so few accomplished players is a big part of that. I'd say the same about our tight end room even though I'm a big Josh Oliver fan.
Chark has potential for sure but that doesn't mean you credit him with currently being a good player. Cole has had one v promising year, followed by a year where he looked like a UDFA, my suspicion is he gets back on track, but again thats a question mark. If Chark and Cole play well next season + Lee is back in good health and contributes well then I'm sure theyll be bumped up , but until we see that happens its up in the air.
We see it differently.
I think Lee and Westbrook are good receivers capable of quite a lot of production.
Do you think that ^ duo (healthy) is capable of 1550 yards and 10 TDs? I do. And that's the Jeffrey/Agholor total from 2018.
I think Chark is more likely to make impact than not to do so. He had a lot working against him last year and precious few opportunities. Both of those things are likely to change.
I'm 50/50 on Cole bouncing back and I haven't figured out Conley yet beyond the fact he's an option to play the X if Chark doesn't secure the position.
Regardless of where that puts them in a league wide ranking (which is silly in the Spring months anyway) I think that they are good enough to win with.
You and I (and most alert fans) are expecting Foles and Flip to lean on TEs and RBs in the pass game quite a bit.
Should the combination of Oliver/Swaim/Fournette/Armstead/Cunningham get some similar percentage of attention in the pass game that Ertz/Goedert/Smallwood/Sproles/Clement got in philly, then that's going to account for a solid chunk of the passing production. (I'm sure it will be less statistically, but we have to imagine they'll try to utilize the concept)
This takes some onus away from the receivers behind Westbrook. If only one other receiver really emerges as a consistent chain mover for Foles, it's probably enough for them to be efficient until injury requires the next guy to step up.
