Has just under 50 yards a game in his career. Last year it was dragged down by 44. The year before he had 10 yards a game more. The point of adding Nuk was to get more yards from a WR1 we didn't have right? Not take them from receivers we already have.
He had more yards per game with Josh Rosen in one of the worst offenses of all time so I'm pretty sure we are using him poorly.
I posted these before after the Pats game.
Here's Kirk running a dig completely uncovered with an open field in front of him. Home run opportunity. Instead Murray ends up running it for about 7 yards.

Here he is again running a comeback to the sticks on 3rd and 7 with JC Jackson sat 10 yards off him from the snap. Any QB should know pre snap this is an easy 1st down.
Instead he's looking at Nuk in double coverage and get's sacked.

There's a bunch of these missed bread and butter opportunities in every game. Not just with Kirk. These particular instances are on Murray and there were many more where these came from, but scheme doesn't help with some very limited route assignments.
Now I can't say for sure how much of the problem is Kliff. Someone said here recently that Gambo or Wolfley said that Kliff had to dumb down the offense because Kyler was having trouble reading defenses and going through progressions. That's clearly true from watching him back.
Do I think Kirk is good? I really don't know. I am however quite certain we are limiting his output. There's 75 yards and a TD just in these 2 missed plays.
