5 TDs in 2 years doesn't show he was even a focal point near the goalline. Everyone says, "GB didn't use him correctly", but maybe they didn't use him because he wasn't worth using. His usage went down in Seattle. His usage went down each year in GB. He's not decrepit at 33 years old, but he has played a lot of football. 10 years, over 1000 targets. Doesn't really miss games. His high end of production is probably similar to what Burton did in 2018. Which is whatever, they should be throwing the ball to Robinson and Miller anyway.
They tried to get him the ball in the endzone at times, it just didn't work.
You are more than welcome to watch some gamepass film if you want. A lot of the plays he ran in GB were not intended to go anywhere near him. Obviously there are always 1st,2nd,3rd reads, etc, but a ton of plays I saw they had him run a seam route just to suck up double coverage and a safety to free up davante adams running a corner/out/9 route.
What I'm sayin is they didn't really try to make him a vocal point of their offense until they got to the endzone.
I def. think he can do what burton did in 2018. He has more talent than burton. Runs better routes, better hands, knows where the soft spots in the zone are. The only thing burton had on him is speed, but he's also a midget for a TE so he better be fast.
Jimmy G was really excited to join the bears after he watched how we use the TE.
