Probably equal both ways, but Jackson still has what changes the offense, his speed, does Decker still have what makes him special? I dunno
At 6'3 he's a good red Zone target, he has 3 seasons with double digit TD vs Jackson not even having one. Personally not high on either WR.
I didn't state it well, but my point basically was the question is irrelevant to the subject matter, as my reasoning as to why i don't put much stock into his addition, when it comes to marriota's value, has little to do with the injury. It's just a small part, worth noting, but a small part. He can be 150% and he's not adding value to Mariota, hes taking it away from Mathews and Walker. He doesn't transform an offense, he operates well within one.
It does, he does, and that's why i think he mooches his numbers from Walker, and Mathews who are also good at scoring TD's. he won't be adding much to Mariota. Marita didn't need another solid route runner who's a big target, to add value, he needs something that's different than what he's already got.
No, but will he feel the need to force the ball to Evans with 3 defenders? Probably not. . Will Evans ever have 3 defenders on him with Jackson on the field? Again, probably not. . And that's why Jackson makes a difference. I don't think Jackson himself is a great WR at all.. as I've said numerous times, the only guy nearly as overrated as he is, is Cooks, but, what he does do is command attention to himself, and that's what the Evans Winston duo is sorely lacking
Please stop with all of this "weapons" talk regarding Winston.
He is becoming a turnover machine.
And even if you put Jerry Rice and Calvin Johnson in their prime on the Bucs, this has no bearing on his accuracy.
Just for grins I did a search for QB completion percentage (minimum 500 pass attempts) over the past 2 seasons (combined).
Brock Osweiler finished better than Winston!
Here's the search results courtesy of ProFootball Reference.
Winston was 25th on the list. (Winston's QB rating isn't that impressive either.)
Mariota was 22nd.
Now if you guys think that adding DJax will improve Winston's decision making and accuracy, you may be losing your minds.

I was thinking that also.
Evans caught a lot of long balls last year, Jackson is just siphoning off some of those. So not buying that Jackson brings something new or different to the offense. A 6'3 go up and get it WR is good to have all over the field, not just the Red Zone, rest of The Titians WRs really don't have that skill set. So IMO Decker is the one adding a new dimension to the offense, not Jackson.
I'm not calling Winston a bust. Oh no.
I'm not labeling him a bust. I'm a little concerned about the turn overs though, that's has got to be addressed.
