It may be a result of Rivers spreading the ball out as opposed to the days when TY was Luck's security blanket. I don't know what to think about him. I may get shit for this but I never thought he was a true WR1 but that's comparing him to the likes of Wayne which is probably unfair.

I also never thought he was a true #1 - he was a great secret weapon when teams were worried about Reggie Wayne, hence why he got the "ghost" nickname. I also thought he was always better as a slot receiver than outside.

Sure he's had a few big games in his career, and any good receiver should have that. But a #1 is a guy you can count on every game to be your leading receiver. TY has just never been that guy. If we found a true #1, I think he could go back to having an impact, assuming he isn't too old at this point.
And its crazy to think that but he's already 30! and I just looked that up and realized he has the same birthday as me, so cool and all, but he's gonna be 31 in a couple of weeks!

I would suggest you look at TYs stats after Wayne retired

The biggest key to TY's success was his rapport with Andrew Luck. Just look at his stats with and without Luck.

Look at everyone's stats without Luck. He was a FAR better QB than anything we've had since, plus TY was in his prime at that time with Luck.

Same could be said for Marvin Harrison and Manning

Marvin Harrison caught 137 balls and 14 touchdowns in his first 2 seasons with a washed up Jim Harbaugh at quarterback.

Marvin was damn good with or without 18.
