A lot of it is just due to health. A *healthy* due to Jeffrey and Jackson should have been excellent this season, but obviously they've really only had maybe one or two games healthy together, at the absolute most? That was pretty devastating to their offense this season. As for their problems with developing home grown talent, I suppose part of that comes down to mentality as well. Agholor was an excellent receiver at USC in all facets of the game, but he lost all of his confidence as a rookie and took a long time to get it back, and even then he really only ever became average. It sounds weird to say this, but he was just straight up a better player in college. I don't know where his hands went, but he left them in California I think. For JJA-W, I think he has a ton of potential but I also don't see him playing with the same aggressiveness that we saw at Stanford. I don't know if that's a confidence issue for him too, but he won damn near EVERY jump ball ever thrown to him in college, but in the pros we haven't quite seen that same physicality at the point of the catch. Other than size he really doesn't have a ton of physical gifts, so he really HAS to get that mean steak back if he's going to succeed in this league. It's literally the main reason he was drafted in the first place.

The Raiders one is back up, and the Packers one will be as well after Thanksgiving :)

Given that Eagles have had WR issues since Maclin left (ignoring the 2017 season), do you think the issue is more related to the coaching, scouting, or some other potential factor?
