Oh, there was more than a couple three in the other thread before the season started. They know who they are.
Part of the blowback I got when I predicted that Skyy having a good season would look like about 500-550 yards (what's he on pace for?) and that he wasn't going to get near a grand, and MVS would not become a legit WR2; that he would basically do exactly what he's been doing for his entire career (.
But that AFCCG just got people's blood up or something, and I was told pretty emphatically a few times that MVS was going to be a legit WR2, and push 1,000.
Some dope said that MVS was going to increase his catch rate to something over 60%? And catch 1,000 yards in 60-odd receptions?
Btw, you know what happens when you drop that one 54-yd catch (and any zero-yd catch)? Crazy as it sounds, but Skyy's average depth of target/YAC, so his average yds/cth drop to right around 11.6 yds/cth, give or take a few tenths of a yard.
Or, pretty much exactly what I predicted before the season started. Almost the same as last season (11.4yds/cth, 2022)
Actually, I think I gave him 10.25 or 10.5 yds/cth for 2023, but whatever. Way closer than 23 yds/cth, or 16 yds/cth. Which is nice, ya know, considering that Skyy hasn't caught a single ball at either 16 yds or 23+ yds of depth this season. And he might still prove me right, if he catches more than 35 balls. No doubt his yds/cth average will drop into the mid-10s like someone planned it.
Fancy.
That.
I mean, whodathunk, huh? Mathematical results that actually inform you as to what really happened on the field, instead of giving you a pair of values that don't tell you anything about reality . . . So weird how that happens, right?
