And the talent I'm referring to was Ryan Whalen. Followed by Griff Whalen. I'd also toss in Owusu, but I can't remember how his injury interludes match up with dates. And then he had Doug Baldwin when the guy finally caught fire.  Meanwhile, the TE corps was at its strongest, which meant defenses couldn't devote all their effort at shutting down the WRs.
And, ahem, they had Andrew Luck throwing to them. Of all that group, I would say the most significant WR was Ryan Whalen.
This season our TEs were much less productive as a group despite Ertz' outstanding season. We had an injured and undeveloped Montgomery and the very dependable but underused Terrell.Â
And, we had Nunes throwing to them for half the season and a rookie Hogan at the helm for the rest.  Coaching could have made some difference twixt the two distinguishable eras but, in general, the talent drove the results. With this new group coming in, finally there is some WR talent to play with. "Fixing" Montgomery's drops/constant near misses is job one.
