Seriously, what the fuck is going on in the program? Fuck the “next man up” crap, losing talent hurts. What are the coaches doing/not doing to retain their own players?
WRs don't want to play in shitty "Run the damn ball" backwards ass 1980's offenses.
So why then did you downvote another posters comment on not getting the rock if you can’t block. Kinda feels like his comment and yours go hand and hand.
Because Ty Jones was easily our best blocking receiver and he gone too.
This has shit to do with whether a receiver can block.
It is more nuanced. Sure Ty had some nice blocks, but he could also be a bit of a pussy when it came to fighting for close balls.
A starting WR at UW needs to excel at both -- not just one or the other.
No they don’t. We need a playmaker on the outside that is consistently making big plays a lot more than even the best blocking WR of all time.
This. WR's are more of a help to the running game by being a threat to take the top off of the defense. Make the DB's play 10 yards off. They're not out there to seal the edge.

WR blocking is a sign of whether or not a player is willing to do their job regardless of what the job is ... can they put the team over themselves
You never recruit a WR because of their blocking ...
But you do pay attention to their effort in the space
