We have a roster full of Julian Edelman’s.

No, I agree. I thought the comparison to Edelman was too generous! Bernard has been primarily a special teamer his entire time here thus far and injured for the rest of that time. LeBlanc is a nice player but not a #1 nor is he a consistent game in and game out threat
Several games last year when Bernard showed out...
averaged 17.4 yards per catch – the second-highest on the team among players who caught 10 or more passes … biggest game came in win over Arkansas State where he set career-bests in receptions (5) and yards (97) and scored on 45-yard pass from Ben Wooldridge … had two receptions for 29 yards in come-from-behind win over Eastern Michigan … scored from 18 yards out on lone reception in win over Georgia Southern …
I was thinking of the Ark State game and a great catch vs GATA...also had a 54 yard catch vs Marshall in Nola Bowl...
Peter did lead in yards and catches in 21 through the championship game. He didn’t play in the bowl game and MJ passed him. He and Jacob’s lack of production last year wasn’t a peter and Jacob issue. It was a scheming and a looking at one receiver from snap until release on most plays issue. Most of the lack of production was how the OC drew it up.
Last year I’d say Stevens. Peter didn’t have enough targets to lead. Obviously the more targets you get the more opportunity there is for drops. That’s true at the next level too. How many plays did you play in on Cajun field compared to peter in your career? Just curious? Weren’t you a receiver?
Well you can call it criticizing if you want. But not sure if you’d say it’s criticism of just coaches. If you watched you’d know we had guys running wide open last year and we forced it time and time again to MJ in double and triple coverage. Scheme? QB? Heck might be why Fleming and Rogers left. IMO definitely a big reason why Pete went from over 400 yards to 127. I saw someone posted his stats above. He had over 300 as a true freshman and sophomore then over 400 Covid sophomore then drop to 127. Jacob Bernard is always way to wide open also to have as little yards as he did last year as well.
I would line "Lunch", Zeon Chriss and Chandler Fields up at WR. According to BWK each of them could probably have 400 catches, 6000 yards and 125 TD's individually this year. And would by far be the best 3 WR's on the team. Hell, I would make Ben a WR as well and move Dale Martin (who has moved to WR from QB) back to QB.
Umm, Ok. I guess its always easy to blame the scheme as its hard for either of us to prove so its a good standing ground but you've had 3 years of Leblanc and I think its pretty obvious to know what to expect. Again, I'm not saying these guys are poor players but some of you seem to think they're going to be able to put the load of the passing game on these guys backs and that's not true.
We run a pre-snap RPO offense. It’s not a system designed to create Michael Crabtree type WRs. Post snap it’s a one read route tree. The coverage will dictate where that read will go pre-snap. It’s a big reason you see wide open WRs that never get looked at. I’m
So you telling me when the defense gives you a false look pre snap and jump into something else at the snap were done? No checking down? I know Levi would survey the field and check down and go through his progressions. But from what I saw last year I don’t doubt what you are saying about this current O.
I had a son play QB in high school in a more complex system where he had multiple reads on every pass play pre and post snap.
