"Unproductive" DK Metcalf over 1k, yet again - even in a down year for the passing offense.

Most don't say he's a bad receiver, but a lot of people don't even acknowledge him as top-20. The rhetoric was much worse overall a few weeks ago.Nobody says he’s a bad receiver, he’s just limited and doesn’t take over games like the top tier receivers do in the NFL.

He's 20th in yards on a relatively small amount of targets. He's averaging almost 17 yards per reception. He's top 10 in yards per reception, receiving touchdowns, and is one of the rarest athletic prototypes of all time at the position.With all these young WR's coming up He's not top 20.
Because his offensive coordinator sucks and his QBs disappear for multiple games at a timeNobody says he’s a bad receiver, he’s just limited and doesn’t take over games like the top tier receivers do in the NFL.
Bad offensive coordinator doesn’t explain how bad he is at high pointing the ball and his struggles catching with his hands or his route running. He’s a good receiver but he’s not elite, tier 2 below the best nfl receivers.Because his offensive coordinator sucks and his QBs disappear for multiple games at a time
I dunno. I’m assuming coaches are responsible for planning to their players strengths and weaknesses but I’m just a casual observer.Bad offensive coordinator doesn’t explain how bad he is at high pointing the ball and his struggles catching with his hands or his route running.

Good, not great.
This. He would be elite if used betterI dunno. I’m assuming coaches are responsible for planning to their players strengths and weaknesses but I’m just a casual observer.
UNREALISTIC expectations much????= JUST DUMB!!Nobody says he’s a bad receiver, he’s just limited and doesn’t take over games like the top tier receivers do in the NFL.
Exactly what I’m talking about. With his size he should dominate in high pointing the ball and boxing out DBs. His route running is also very sloppy and he’s prone to mistakes.DK does have legitimate weaknesses. He's got 35 inch arms (an inch longer than Megatrons! MEGATRONS!) and sucks at highpointing. Its the biggest waste. It's like if Peter North had erectile dysfunction.
He's top 20 anyway, which is absolutely wild. He just gets shit for unrealized potential.
Is he top-20? In today's NFL, like 40 players top 1,000 receiving yards. Some games he looks it. Some, decidedly not. I'm not sure i blame him, though. This team hasn't done a good job of scheming weapons to create mismatches for a very long time.Most don't say he's a bad receiver, but a lot of people don't even acknowledge him as top-20.

He's literally exactly 20th in yardage IIRC (on phone, cant double check) so straight up at bottom. But he's top 10 in touchdowns and yards per reception in an overall down year for our offense, which gives him some cushion in the top-20 territory.Is he top-20?

EDIT: If he's top-20, it's near the bottom. https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-stats/category/receiving/2023/REG/all/receivingyards/DESC
