Receptions are also largely dependent on the type of offense you run while yards are a much better barometer for offensive performance. I wish you could choose what stats to focus on per position as coach (basically set goals for your players). I hate that my WRs goals are based on receptions instead of yards and my 3-4 OLBs goals are tackles instead of sacks. In other people's systems those might be the right targets though. If EA doesn't want to give the user a choice what to focus on then maybe they could do a type of fantasy scoring system where multiple stats come into play and the goal is to just get a certain score per game or by the end of the season.

Be-a-Pro: Goals should be set by the Goal Gods (the Development Team).
Be-a-Coach: You should be able to auto-assign, or set the goals for your players manually (just like your idea: Love it!).
Be-an-Owner: You should be able to auto-assign, or set the team goals manually (win by XX, or keep the opponents under XXX YDS, etc. etc.).
