Question about receivers?

[76tornados]

I know the big tip is "GET THE BALL TO #21". I have been looking at year stats and JJ isn't doing to bad either (avg @15 yards/catch). what this tells me is that we DO have more than on go to receiver. Why is he not taking more pressure off the CJ doubles, and why are we not screaming to get the ball to him. RB takes a snap and IMHO has 2 options to pass to. Whats the problem? Is it playcalling? Or is RB really not seeing ANY options in the passing game? Not bashing, but numbers don't lie.

Don't mean to beat the dead horse, but it is widely believed that the decision on where the ball is going is made at the LOS before the ball is snapped.
That is why so many balls are thrown to the seats when other receivers are open.

My point is the numbers don't lie. JJ has been reachable and has come through for the most part. I am not much of an x's o's guy, but seems playcalling could use this to free up the double teams on CJ.

It is hard to answer that question without sounding like it's bashing but after watching RB for 3 1/2 years now one can only come to the conclusion that our QB can't find receivers because of two things:

1. His lack of height
2. That which is between his ears.

Oh how I can't wait to see what happens in the spring and next fall with some new talent. Especially that 6-5 kid from Michigan. He's enrolling in January I've heard.
