I disagree that you have to disagree. It's entirely optional, and I rarely disagree with myself.
But Banks had 600+ yards back to back seasons before he came to NU. Neyor had almost 900 his last healthy season. They were fully capable of getting open & producing at a significant level, but coaching, effort, and/or scheme were lacking here, at least until the last few games.
There were 217 500 yard receivers in CFB in 2024, and the significant majority (136 of them) didn't have 500 yards in 2023. 7 of the 20 1,000 yard receivers in 2024 didn't even have 500 yards in 2023.
Of the 18 1,000 yard receivers from 2023 that came back for 2024, only 3 had 1,000 yard seasons in 2024. Lots of capable players with a low delta between most of the field.
