I don't know enough about the Redskins receivers to make the assumption that ours are better, but I'll give you some details about our guys and then you can reply and we'll compare the two.
Jarvis Landry: sure-handed, blue collar, tough and shifty. Mostly slot but sometimes perimeter.
Greg Jennings: sure-handed, savvy route runner, veteran.
Kenny Stills: sure-handed, good route runner, speedster.
Rishard Matthews:
tough and physical.
DeVante Parker: tall "red zone mismatch", sure-handed, rookie (14th pick, 3rd WR chosen in draft) .
Matt Hazel: pretty good route runner, good hands.
As you can see, there's a big emphasis on route running and hands.
Here are the average physical attributes for both WR corps:
Dolphins
Average weight: 206 lbs
Average height: 6' 1/2"
Average age: 24 years old
Average 40-time: 4.49 seconds
Redskins
Average weight: 190 lbs
Average height: 5' 10 2/3"
Average age: 26 years old
Average 40-time: 4.46 seconds
The thing that jumps out is that our guys seem to be heavier and a little taller, while your guys are faster. Your receivers seem to be more capable of making big plays with YAC (like Jackson), while our guys are probably more physical and maybe a little more consistent, especially in the red zone. Correct me if my assumptions are wrong.
I wouldn't say one WR corps is better than the other, I think both are good fits for the type of offense each team runs.
