Puka had a couple huge games after Kupp was back. Week 7: 8 for 154; Week 16: 9 for 164 and a TD; Week 17: 5 for 118; Wildcard: 9 for 181 and a TD. I get that it isn't likely he's a perennial top five WR, but he absolutely smashed when Kupp was playing.
I don't care if Tyreek only has 2yrs left, they're going to be stud seasons. But he's also the reason I gotta have waddle lower. Once Ty is gone, I'll agree with the waddle ranking. Only thing that sounds crazier is Chase at #4. I believe he's closer to #1 than he is #3.
I respect the take on Puka, though I disagree with it, a lot, actually. One thing that seems odd to me is downgrading him for future situation so much, when Wilson is ranked so highly. Sure, McVay could retire(he's not going to another team, Kroenke will pay the man whatever he wants to stay with the Rams), but even if he retired, that puts Puka, maybe, in the same boat as Wilson, who's got Hackett coaching him *right now*. And, sure, Stafford could retire, but Wilson's qb is significantly older than even that, and is coming off an achilles tear, and will continue playing on the field that tore it last year. Maybe you're closer to right than wrong, but the logic seems weird to me.
They are in a similar boat, but what i said about Puka at the end is what it boils down to for me. Strip everything away and he just isn’t as talented as guys like Wilson
Honestly I think Marv will be a “bust”. He’s definitely good but I don’t think he’ll be top 5. He lacks rac and if you look at the top recovers every year they have tons of rac. All of them can catch it and get open. The difference is if they can run after that or not.
