Which one folks?

Neither one but you already knew that.

in 2014, w 204 drop backs, Kirk had 27 passes go for more then 20 yards, 8 passes over 40. He can certainly deliver the long ball.

this year, w 363 drop backs, he has 26 and 4 respectively.

for whatever reason, when desean went out play 3 of week 1, we just didnt have a replacement. Desean is just now getting back to full speed and hopefully shots down field will open things up.

lack of down field passing and inability to run the ball = very limited, predictable offense.
