I think, objectively, it has to be production per dollar. That's the only way you can normalize the two players and gauge whether the decision was beneficial or not (smith and his replacement). All comparisons must be normalized and it only seems logical to normalize based on player cost.
2017 Salary: 6.5mil
2016 stats (obviously a projection but I can't see the future so what ever):
REC: 20 --> 325K per catch
TGTS: 49 --> 132K per target
YDS: 267 --> 24K per yard
------------------
^ That's the benchmark for his replacement, we'll see if Lynch can find somebody that will charge less than 325K per catch or less than 24000 per yard. (Yes I added the zeros for effect)
2016 mighr be an anomaly statistically and the money is neaningless to me. Trying to get the most production pwr dollar is not the best way to win imo.
No, production per dollar shouldn't be the only measurement. But it is one measurement. Torrey hasn't done crap,lower rated receivers on our own team gave produced more, I don't see any reason to keep paying him by any measurement. High salary, crappy stats, lazy routes, mediocre at catching what did come his way.
