The catch rate stuff, for example, in Megatron's analysis, looks like a solid stat. Until you consider that catch rate also has a lot of variables involved, notably who's throwing the damned ball. What routes the receiver is running, the relative difficulty of the completion, etc. This is why Juju caught the ball at a 77% rate. Megatron would have you believe that means Juju was like...a better receiver than Hill. Or at least, that's what it SHOULD mean, according to his statistical analysis. We obviously know that's not the case.
But he's happy to compare apples to oranges as long as it fits his narrative.
It's pseudo-science. It's hooey.
I do not expect Skyy to get 1,000 yards. I don't expect any Chief not named Travis Kelce to get 1,000 yards.
But the reason is not that they're not good enough, the reason is that the targets will be spread out. Now, if Toney's injury issues continue, it's entirely possible that Skyy gets to 1,000. If Toney's healthy, he's likely close and Skyy will be more like 600. James has shown he's good enough to get a target share. Rice will have some packages. Watson will get some looks as a rotational guy. The backs will get a share (sorry, Megatron. Those still count!)
And we'll be a top 3 type offense.
