I think a little bit from the standpoint that because his production wasn't great due to injury and the fact that he's with uh, the coordinator in Drew Petzing who took advantage and leveraged Trey McBride. But I would also argue that um, Trey McBride was it's not that Trey McBride is so much better than Sam LaPorta. There will be people who will say that that's the case, but I think it's has a little bit more to do with the fact that the wide receiver pecking order was a little bit more established um, in Detroit and you have a a vastly better quarterback in Detroit than what Drew Petzing was working with the majority of the time in Arizona.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

LaPorta's production suffered due to injury and being in an offense with coordinator Drew Petzing, but his underperformance relative to Trey McBride is partly due to Detroit's more established wide receiver pecking order and superior quarterback play spreading the ball around more.
