Proof is anyone that watched the games, with Watters we could do anything, with Alexander we telegraphed it was a run play or a intermediate pass play, he could not pass block and he could not catch. If you pulled him you knew it was 80 percent pass, on third down it was Bobby or a hand off to Strong. We were successful no doubt, we did it due to superb execution of the Line and accuracy of Matt and the hands of our go to receivers.
Dude you made statements such as pouting, and predictability, and yet your only proof is watch the games really. Let me help you
in 2000 Watters best year with the hawks he had 63 receptions. In 2002 Alexander had 59 receptions, so to you 4 more receptions means we had to become predictable, really the reality I you do not Alexander which is fine as I said I am not a huge fan I have just learned to respect what he accomplished here.
To help you even more Lynch has never caught more than 36 passes wit the hawks, but to you he does not make us predictable huh.
Like I said you want to not like the guy fine, but lets not make stuff up and belittle what he accomplished shall we.
Watters had 467 recepetions for 4248 yds with a 9.1 yd average, he spread that across S.F. Philly. and Sea.Watters only had one season played under 30 receptions and that was his last season when he got injured and ended up with 11.
Alexander had 215 receptions for 1520 yds with a 7.1yd average. they did try and use him three years 2001 - 2003 much more out of the back field, getting 44,59 and 42 catches, then it went to 23,15,12,14 receptions. Thats the predictability. He was never a natural receiver. If you want to take every statement as an absolute then sure I was wrong he has caught a football.
For arguements sake,I will give you that he could be a receiver, but the staff did not think of him obviously as a reliable one or dependable based on the numbers of the other years, given once again to the offense predictability.
His over all numbers do speak for themselves, but as abserved I don't think he was ever the complete back that some of the others were closer to and I do think he limited what we could do as a offense becasue of his lack of wanting to do some things and work at them.
