Correct. Jalen couldn’t get Robert Foster 20 catches last year and dude is balling in the NFL.
He would've gotten to 20 had he no dropped several passes. I think that it is fairly obvious that 2017 Jalen is not the same as 2018 Jalen.

Hurts is the reason our receivers had a rough year in 2017 but you are right, he is a like a brand new man back there. Still a threat to run but quick to burn you with an intermediate throw. Just to took him some time and coaching.

Bob only had 14 catches last year and 3 were in the 2nd half of the title game. He didn’t drop that many passes.
Even if that were true, does it take away from the point? Dak didn’t have a Ridley or Cooper or Howard. Bama has had 5 receivers better than State’s best in the last 3 years. Similar story on the OL. Dak took that team to a NY6 bowl. Jalen isn’t taking a team like that to 10 wins.

He dropped a good many. Obviously, Jalen was a large part of the lack of WR production last season, but I am just saying, if Foster hadn't had as many drops as he did, he might have cleared twenty receptions.

No, not really, but Hurts seems like he is much improved from last season. That isn't a definite, because the sample size isn't that large, but the fact that he is able to let himself stay in the pocket and throw down field is a dramatic change from last season.

All of that is true except the last part. 2018 Jalen would have a decent shot at getting 10 wins with that team. Not 2017 Jalen, though.

No way Dak was one of the sole reasons that Miss state was so good in 2014

Hearing rumors of Jalen to OK. Definitely would be helpful to go into that kind of passing scheme.
