You're absolutely right and I certainly don't want to bag on Demski. He's one of my favourite players and one of the only guys who showed up this year.

That said, he's been here and on the field for the last two seasons when our offence has floundered. So it's a question of what has Demski proved himself to be? Because when he is out go-to target, the offence does not seem to be successful. So it's one of the questions that need to be asked.

Can he be our #2? Do we need him as a #3? Is 1000 yards too much to ask of him AND be healthy for the post season?

Demski has proved himself. But that doesn't mean there aren't questions to ask as we enter the off-season. I don't feel like it's a slight to wonder what his most effective role in the offense can be.

I certainly don't want to be overbearing on this topic but Demski has steadily improved since coming over from the Riders.  I honestly don't know what more people could expect from him.  The "floundering" offence is not on him.  His production has been stellar.

He just has to be Nic Demski nothing more, it's up to the team to put the other players in place that compliment him and allow him to excel. He's a steady #3 receiver, he's more dangerous with 2 gifted receivers in the two top spots, they already have Pokey so they need one more.

These lists of players are about what? Import vs Non import?

I'm asking what we need around him for the offense to be successful.

we need another quality cdn receiver around so we don't have to put him right back out there when he or CLercius is hurt. Also a receiver such as Hamiltons Edwards would keep teams from keying in on Demski and Wilson. And the other piece is upgrades to oline to allow Zac time to throw to these guys

I can think of a few things:
1. an improved O-line (pass protection needs to be considerably better)
2. an improved receiving corps (with at least one elite receiver; two would be better)
3. an upgrade at OC (Hogan hasn't earned a second look, IMO)

Ya, and Demski has really never missed wide swathes of games like most RECs go through a couple/few times in their long careers.  I can't recall Demski ever having a season-ender in the summer, for instance.  He's a bit like the Fatboi of RECs -- mostly always available.

Ya, he gets some nicks & dings, and yes he's usually playing only 60% come GC time, but at least he's there for most of it.

I think '25 is the first time he's been absent for the post-season.
