Worst in the NFL? No way
Maclin is a good WR and showed that last year with Philly minus Deshawn Jackson. Some thought he was just a product being opposite Jackson and couldnt be a #1 WR.
REC 85
YDS 1,318
AVG 15.5
TDS 10
Of course I expect those #s to fall a bit due to Alex Smith being his new QB.
The rest of the WRs dont excite much, but Id expect Kelce to improve on last year and you still got Charles. i think theres enough there to be above average.
The elephant in the room regarding the passing game some people dont want to acknowledge is Alex Smith. Hes very good at some things, but pushing the ball downfield, and throwing guys open to make a play isnt one of them. He has to have a near perfect situation to pull the trigger beyond 15 yards. Even in a must score situation with the game on the line hes still dinking and dunking and throwing the ball away to avoid taking any chances.
He is who he is. Give him a top 3 Defense,top run game and a reliable security blanket to dump the ball off too within 10 yards his deficiencies will be irrelevant and his strengths become perfect for this team.
