What popular expectation from this sub for the 2015 season do you think will be hilariously wrong looking back with hindsight?

Yeah no one was keyed in on the guy who put up 95/1300/12 while he was in the middle of a season like that, especially given all of the trusty other options the Giants had to throw to like, uh, Larry Donnell and...Ruben Randle?

Saw minimal double coverage. Just because there weren't other options doesn't immediately mean the primary receiver is double covered.

Right here I can tell you're basing most of your opinion purely on his stats which is extremely close minded. Should we mention that he had top stats in the last few weeks of the year against bottom of the barrel pass defenses?

I don't buy it for a second man, he was getting 10+ targets a game all year long. No one had heard of him even though he was like a top 15 pick? NFL coaches aren't ignorant of that, they really can't afford to be. And if they were then they figured it out in a hurry because he destroyed everyone and it's not just because no one was paying him any mind and he was wide open in the middle of the field. I mean did you see the ridiculous amount of attention defenses were throwing his way? He's just really good, no need to overcomplicate it.

Once again, did you watch any of the last few games he played in? He was double covered maybe TWICE in the Eagles game. Not to mention the other last few games he played in.

I get it, they'll game plan the day lights out of him or whatever but he's proven time and time again that he's usually in the right spot and catches anything in the immediate area, it's not easy to game plan for a player like that. This is also assuming that he doesn't get any better himself.

He does have superior route running and great hands, I'll give you that. So defenses can't get better at game planning him for his tendencies, but he can get better at reading defenses. K.

Nice snarky comments though, you've got that on lock.
