So I just decided to make this it's own thread after the other one spiraling out of control with the argument of speed receivers being out.
My argument was that BK doesn't favor speed guys over larger physical receivers.
So I'm doing this in real time, curious to see if I'm proven wrong.
So after reviewing, of 11 years and 23 individual statistical seasons (2012 they were tied for first) only three players I would coin as a receiver who had a primary weapon of speed, which is 13%.
I'll stand by my statement that BK poorly uses speed in his offensive system. Which, honestly, I don't care THAT much about but it seemed to be a major sticking point for a lot of folks on here. I'm happy running the ball with a controlled passing game, because I think you can win a championship playing that style.
