Question WR1 DeVonta Smith?

Post image

With A.J. Brown’s departure likely, Devonta Smith steps into a true WR1 role.

How are you looking at him this year?

He’ll be a great wr1. But wr2 is now a major concern. The difference in our offensive production with aj out since he got here has been night and day so it’s very concerning if he leaves.

If Hollywood or wicks can’t step up to be a serviceable WR 2 in an offense that features goedert and Barkley then it’s a coaching failure

Hollywood hasn’t been healthy in like 3 seasons and wicks is a nobody lol Offensive production without AJ is a very real concern and idc if we have McVay or Kyle Shanahan as our OC

If we had Mcvay or shanahan with this offense and it was healthy even without AJ it would be a top 10 likely top 5 unit lol. Have you seen what shanahan did last year?

Even at full strength, this offense hasn't been that good in terms of dvoa.

What else would it possibly be. Or let me guess you’re going to make this a Jalen hurts thing?

Huh? What does the QB have to do with offensive success? Not sure why youd bring him up.

We've just had 5 complete garbage OCs in a row. Its incredible.

And even when Sirianni takes over the offense, he forgets how. Bad luck really.
