Are you claiming he has misfired on ARob more than the other WRs? Let me ask, in your honest opinion where would you rank him in terms of playmakers in passing game? I realistically have him 4th as I would put Cohen, Gabriel and Burton clearly ahead of him. By next year if not the end of this season, Miller may be ahead of him as well.
So for this offense, the dude may literally be the 5th best option in the passing game while getting paid as a no 1 as early as next year.
No. bama said it is hard to make receptions when the QB misfires too often. He made no claim on ARob vs. the others.
Also, bama is right. 43 targets to only 25 receptions is a fact and I suspect the lion's share of the failed receptions goes to the young gun.
You are right in that Cohen, Gabriel (who is shocking me) and Burton all are making plays at a higher rate and are fast becoming favorite targets for # 10 but when healthy, Robinson is a playmaker as well.
Thing is I started thanking you because you are right to hold Robinson accountable as a no. 1 who isn't *primarily* making the plays when he takes the field. I agree with that.
I also agree with bama that the factor may be Mitch misses him in games due to accuracy issues. Mitch NEEDS more practice time with him and he doesn't get as much due to health so it also becomes true that Gabriel, Cohen, and Burton get to go ahead of AR in target-to-reception success ratio and establish a better chemistry sooner. (Gabriel has a much higher target-to-reception success ratio than ARob. I didn't look up Burton and Cohen though I suspect it would be better than ARob as well).
They are all playmakers, and I hope Robinson gets healthy soon and I still ultimately agree with your bigger-picture point that he needs to feel the pressure of getting out there and performing like the no. 1 he is getting paid to be.
