Always wondered what he could do with a WR-friendly QB. This year could be a breakout year for him.

Conley has caught 5 passes on 7 targets for 45 yards in 3 games. Anthony Sherman has more yards.
He's more of a factor in the red zone because we now have a QB who actually will throw the ball INTO the endzone rather than dumping it off in front and waiting for the WR to run it in EVERY time. Hell, the freaking water boy is going to have 4 TD's by the end of the season the way Patrick is finding everyone.
He's not a bigger part of our offense. The guy is on pace to have less than 300 yards. He's getting less targets than he did with Alex.
Not surprising, given his reduced role.
