But somebody said he was paid 24th highest at WR and he was 57th in yards last year which is near the bottom of starters if there are 64 starters in the NFL.
Now, knowing Buffalo is a run oriented offense with a poor offensive coaching and a below average QB gives him the nod on a good gamble because he is probably better than his bottom tier offensive starter production he has delivered over 4 years.
But we have to accept the facts:
1) He has played average at best - actually production is below average
2) We are paying him to be above average if he is #24 in the league in salary.
What makes it a gamble worth taking is who knows how much a bad offensive coaching staff held him back and we know it would be difficult to get a WR to come to the Rams with Greg Robinson in the fold blocking.
The coaching staff in the future will help the Rams probably, but the past one probably limited what could be done this offseason so the Woods gamble is a good one, but what I don't like is the misrepresentation of the facts that he has been productive or that lack of targets is an excuse. The excuse is bad coaching and a running team. Those I can buy.
The facts are again:
1) Targets is a not a positive sign. If anything, targets means you are not producing so they don't look your way.
2) He was #57 in receiver yards among WRs, even lower if you include tight ends and runningbacks.
3) This production has been a pattern every year in the NFL with the following numbers
Yards in his 4 seasons:
1) 587
2) 699
3) 552
4) 613
Those are the facts.
