You are completely ignoring everything I just said. Why are you saying blame everyone BUT the person throwing the ball?? I CLEARLY just stated it’s 50/50 on the QB. I acknowledged part of the blame is on the QB several times. What are you not understanding??
If the QB is throwing to the open guy, why are we not talking about the targets to all eligible receivers and include the TEs and RBs? Why are we only talking about how many of the WR targets Hopkins got out of the WR group.
For example, when you look at the target distribution. You see that Duke was targeted more than Stills. You see the TEs were targeted almost 100 times. The TEs and RBs were targeted more than the WR2 and WR3. The ball was distributed. However, the target by TEs and RBs are being ignored, because the narrative is to say without Hopkins the ball will be distributed or Watson was only throwing to Hopkins.
So, to your question about why your comments are being completely ignored? It's because it doesn't fit the current narrative being pushed.
Targets:
WRs: Hopkins (150), Fuller (71), Stills (55), Coutee (36), Carter (9)
Others: Duke (62), Akins (55), Fells (48), Hyde (16), Carter(14), Mitchell (6), Thomas (3)
