There are People saying "cut N'keal Harry" but Mac Jones is finally trusting Harry. Not every time Harry is targeted is it a wise decision or on target but he's been productive. Jonnu Smith has not been used the way fans would like but is that on the staff of is that on him?
According to fox sports Here's how Harry and Jonnu Smith stack up including week 16's stats:
Harry has 21 targets, 12 catches, 184 yards, 25 y.a.c., 0 drop. Catch rate 57.1 percent. Averaging 16.7 y.p.c., long of 43.
Smith has 44 targets, 27 catches, 274 yards, 209 y.a.c., 4 drops, catch rate 61.4 percent. Averaging 10.1 y.p.c. with 1 touchdown and a long of 28.
Based on the stats, if Harry had as many targets as Smith, he'd have 24 receptions, 368 yards. For his short amount of use, Harry has been more productive of a productive target. Smith only has the advantage in yards after catch. And stats don't tell everything. The cut Harry talk should be hampered as Jonnu Smith is making way more money than Harry.
People point back to Jonnu not being used right this season but neither has Harry as Jones is just starting to get comfortable throwing him the football. Maybe both have to go, or maybe both should be given a second year with Mac before we talk about axing anyone. Yes we want better from them both and there's nothing wrong with holding them accountable but if an excuse can be made for one this season, an excuse can be made for both of them.
I don't know, it's just a thought.
