I just looked up career stats on both ASJ and Dickson
If you exclude last year then it isn’t like ASJ was catching a bunch of balls. So who did he play for last year - Jets. 50 receptions then but 10-20 before that per year
Now go look at what Kearse did with the Jets last year....
Point being - if you can’t recognize that the number of catches and receptions for a player and especially a TE is directly tied to coaching and system then you are missing something.
Dickson’s blocking will be valued but he also averages 11.2 yards per reception consistently over his career which is usually right about what we need for a 1st down (you know after the false start penalty / holding and then 3 yard run).
