As good as what? No WR on the roster has shown to be an above average NFL WR yet. He doesn’t need to be Tyreek Hill to lead the pack.
Ignoring the eye test in favor of a small sample of stats is a unique approach, I must say. Personally, I favor the eye test. Especially in regard to a player who’s seen limited snaps so far due to injuries and other issues. Some weird things went on in NY, and I don’t think many of us followed his Giants stint closely. But he’d been very good in KC before Thursday. Obviously the numbers don’t pop out, because he missed games and joined the team late. How many receivers with limited experience are going to join a Reid offense late in the year and get a ton of snaps? More experience in Reid’s offense will lead to more snaps, which will lead to much higher numbers.
Good things happened practically every time Toney got the ball or was targeted last year, and he showed a lot of versatility. Small sample, but much larger than the 11 or whatever snaps from Thursday. But I guess you could bank on him continuing to drop every pass.
The best part of this is that, while shitting on Toney’s talent, you’re also relentlessly hyping a 7th round pick who is clearly less talented and has accomplished next to nothing in this league.
