And yet, Marshall's stats in Miami were the same as what he did in Denver. 6.5 catches per game, and 12 yards per catch. In fact, he averaged more yards per catch with Henne than he did in his year with Orton. The idea that Marshall is a big play WR is a myth. Big play WRs don't average 12 yards per catch (or 11.1 as he did in 2009). He's a possession receiver. Nothing more.
