And remember the franchise number is based on the top few salaries at the position.

He scored the most touchdowns in the NFL and you call that "consistently disappearing"?

In the regular season, he scored touchdowns in 11 games and in another he went over a hundred yards.

If it corners can easily shut him down why wouldn't every team just put a corner on him and be done with it?

And when you say he has zero ability to play against better defenses, you do realize he scored 3 touchdowns against Carolina and 1 against Seattle right? 4 touchdowns in 4 games is good, against top 3 defenses it's REALLY good.

Consistently against the better defenses I said. And carolina was known to not have a good secondary. He scored one meaningless touchdown against seattle in a 34-7 blowout loss in which he was not heard from again in that game. That's exactly what I'm talking about. It's one thing to make a catch at short range in the endzone when the defense is trying to defend all of our receivers, but where was he the rest of the game when we needed to get first downs?

Why don't more teams put a corner on him? Because we have other good players, and not every team has the depth to make that kind of move. The patriots took a gamble and it sure worked for them. maybe all teams SHOULD do it. I would. What about you? I can't speak for other teams. But the evidence is clear.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
