    This sucks for us and him.
    1. He is not used correctly.
    2. He's not that amazing great that should have warranted a second and 150 million.... he's a good player, but not worth that, even if used correctly.
    - he needs to catch with his hands, not his chest. But that's not going to change this late in his career.

    Seahawks are so far winning this trade.

    GP is making 10 times less money, but having a better season than DK. This is why you don't trade away your best offensive player who is still on his rookie contract!!!

    I still believe that if Mike Tomin were 10 years younger and still had the fire to be a head coach GP would still be a Steeler.

    Metcalf's numbers have been fairly consistent over his career, so a better perspective is to look at his career averages against this year's pace.

    Career avg..75 rec (125 targets)...1,095 yards...14.5 Y/R...9 TD...64.4 Yd/Gm...60.3 Catch %

    2025 pace...60 rec (102 targets)...948 yards....15.7 Y/R...9 TD...55.7 Yd/Gm...59.3 Catch %

    The targets are the issue. I'll leave it to jeh to check my math:
    • 23 more targets at a 59.3 catch % = +14 receptions
    • 14 receptions at 15.7 Y/R = +220 yards
    • 14 receptions at 0.15 TD/rec = 2 TD
    • Adjusted 2025 pace: 74 rec (125 targets)...1,168 yards...11 TD

    I agree the targets are the issue. That's why I say we're not using him like we should.

    I told my wife if she’s not nice to me I’m going to stick her in a double wide in New Mexico with her two sisters

    She in other words suggested I go have sex with myself

    There's an ale in Scotland I've heard of that's served room temp and dark as night, and thick - with rumors you can find an occasional twig floating in it.

    Pulling up to a pub on a craggy Scotland evening and ordering up one of those is on my list of things to do.

    It's the organization's failure for not providing a complimentary receiver to take some of the heat off DK. It's amazing he's put up the numbers he has when every defensive game plan's sole objective is to take him out of the game.

    DK is an amazing receiver.


    Aaron Rodgers is an amazing QB.


    What's the problem?

    One of them is playing scared and the Offense Coordinator isn’t John Gruden.

    This is correct. Some of it is the system. Some of it the QB. Some of it is DK. So it's not a simple fix.

    The FULL list of Double Team percentage among WRs (top 10)
    1. Justin Jefferson 53.4%
    2. AJ Brown 48.8%
    3. Nico Collins 43.1%
    4. Ceedee Lamb 39.1%
    5. Puka Nacua 38.8%
    6. Mike Evans 35.1%
    7. Terry McLaurin 33.7%
    8. George Pickens 27.8%
    9. DK Metcalf 23.2%
    10. Drake London 17.6%

    I agree. His drop in catch % and career high in drop % (7.4%, 1.9% above career avg) suggests he isn't clicking with Rodgers fully yet.

    You have to keep GP and then let him walk next season. This offense would be so much better if we had kept GP! ARod would look better as well.

    They could try, but I think all the other roughage in it would swat it away.

    I'm also surprised you've not yet experienced this for yourself.
