Lol, now you want to cherry pick games to exclude and against your team no less. You are so full of shit. On one hand you are touting this new regime's efforts but then on the other hand you want to exclude Mooney roasting this regime's players.
2 of St Browns best games were against the Falcons and Vikings. The Falcons give up the same amount of passing yards per game as the Lions and the Vikings give up more. So if you remove those 2 games then guess what, Mooney still has more yards and St Bown is still below 10 yards a reception on the year.
All production counts. Only a flaming homer would try and remove production from one player and not the other.
The fact is Mooney has struggled with drops and yet still outproduced St Brown. If he did not struggle with drops he would be blowing St Brown out the water instead of merely just outproducing him by almost 200 yards.
If you had any sense, you would have argued that St Brown's rookie numbers have surpassed Mooney's rookie numbers which I would not argue. But you are a biased Lions homer so you had to take it too far by trying to argue St Brown has had a better year than Mooney this year when that obviously is not true.
Except it obviously is true.
When you look at total stats, per nfl carreer, Mooney's yard per target stats compared to St.Brown are insignificant. You opened this can of worms yourself when you touted this:
St Brown has not even cracked 10 yards per reception yet.
When confronted with the actual context of your statement, you back pedaled saying that is not what you meant, that he had not average that per a season.
When i brought it to your attention that he had not even completed a season yet, you said it was perfectly fine to use his stats to date.
Well then spanky, that is what i am doing, using each players NFL stats to date.
Darnel "drops" Mooney catch rate 59,0% 7.2 y/tgt
Amon St. Brown catch rate 74.7% 6.9 y/tgt
Completely insignificant lead in yards per target, very significant lead by St. Brown in catch rate.
Now of course you will try to back pedal again, and claim only this season, while at the same time ignoring that Mooney has more games as well as more targets.
It has also been demonstrated Mooney is every bit as much as a dink/dunk WR as you claim St. Brown to be. That was the only reason for excluding those outlier games.
Now take your "L" and go home.
Oh, and btw, St. Brown does not benefit from the fact he is thought of like the WR2, as Mooney lines has Arob lining up on the other side of the ball, often drawing the opposing teams #1 corner.
Also, of note, St. Brown was a 4th round pick this year, making another's statement in this thread completely ignorant.
