2010 (Considered his "Career" year)
72 Receptions (19th in NFL)
1,162 yds (7th in NFL)
15 TD's (1st in NFL)
2009 (Haley Being Haley only allowed him to 9 starts)
47 Rec (74th in NFL) (projected over a full season would have been 83 with 5.2 Rec per game, would have ranked 12th in NFL)
589 yds (69th in NFL) (projected over a full season would have been 66 yds/game for 1,056yds, 19th in NFL)
4TD's (projected over a full season would have been 7TDs)
2008
86 Rec (10th in NFL)
1,022 yds (18th in NFL)
7TD's
2007 (Rookie Season)
70 Rec. (29th in NFL)
995 yds (24th in NFL)
5TD's
So if you look at averages:
(taking into consideration he plays a full season in 09 with Haley)
79 Receptions per season
1,078 yards per season
8 TD's per season
That's a lot of categories in the top 10 and 20 of the NFL over a span of 5 seasons.....This is also with QB's like Brody Croyle, Damond Huard, Tyler Thigpen, Tyler Palko, Matt Cassel, and Kyle Orton Throwing him the ball. Just imagine what the numbers would be if he had someone like a Brady, Brees, or Rogers tossing it to him!
Also, for being labeled as an "inconsistent player" those numbers (outside of the 09 mess with Haley) are pretty dang consistent if you ask me.
No, I would not say he is the best WR in the NFL A La Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald, but I would consider him a top 10-15...So he deserves to get paid, If we don't someone will.....
