and any argument that a good TE wouldn't benefit a red zone just typical of a contrarian.
Of course there are a number of factors that go into Red Zone success.
But having a good TE is not a negative...and based on this offenses inability to attack the middle of the field, whether it be coaching, personnel, whatever, a big solid TE would do wonders for Goff and our RZ percentage which is sub par.
And...BTW...Jordan Reed was a key cog in the success Washington had in the Red Zone in 2015.
In another post, I listed the top 5 redzone scoring teams last year, and of those, only 2 had a TE who would fit the description of what you're looking for. One (the Bengals) has such a player but he was injured last year.
It really is completely inconclusive. There are examples of teams that take advantage of a good TE in the redzone. And there are examples of top redzone teams that do not have much if anything at TE.
With all due respect, this is not an "lol" type issue. We just disagree on some key things about redzone offense. You have one theory, and my claim is that there's not enough real evidence to support that theory.
But even then, you can just say you prefer that an offense have a strong redzone presence at TE, and then you don't have to prove that it is a necessary universal requirement. Because, it's not. There are always examples of top RZ offenses that thrive without much if anything at TE.
