CanadaSteve Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Irrelevant. There is some good talent in the CFL, especially guys that just needed playing time to hone their craft. This guy could be one of them. He is a SOLID receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smaxor5 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The Jets need a QB not a wide reciever Right. We should ignore all other positions and not actively try and improve the team until we figure that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Right. We should ignore all other positions and not actively try and improve the team until we figure that out. I always love that logic. I laugh every time a fan complains about a roster upgrade because of the QB situation, as if no improvements should be made unless you have Aaron Rodgers at QB. How awesome would it be to finally get a great QB and then explain to him that you have no blockers or receivers for him to work with because you were just waiting for him to show up first? Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff. Right. We essentially got nothing from our third receiver position this year. As many drops as catches, it seemed. This guy is not breaking the bank. If a guy has the skills we need, I am for it. Devin Smith, in case anyone has noticed, has proved nothing to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Prudent GM's and teams look under every rock for players including the CFL for those guys that slip through the cracks. Many examples of cfl players coming in and contributing. Now as far as Rogers goes, worth taking a look at but even with the gaudy stats he didn't strike me as a guy that can come into he NFL and have a real impact from watching him play last year. One player from my Grey Cup champ hometown just signed with Arizona by the name of Dexter McCoil, really good CFL player but I would be surprised if he makes it down south.

#27TheDominator Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Turning over every stone... One of the first things that comes up on this kid is a "scouting report" by a Panthers site titled just that: Strengths He is a bigger kid from a small school. He only did 9 reps on the bench, so some time growing up and playing in Canada may have done him a world of good. He belongs in an NFL camp, why not ours?

The CFL invented the spread, lol Just like they invented the rush end, the small coverage linebacker etc etc. I saw him play a number of times last year, good player obviously, put up big numbers especially in the 1st half of the year but to me was just not eyepoppingly good, which you usually have to be to go from the CFL to the NFL. Other canucks may have a different view on him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 From what I've seen of the CFL they seem to run a lot of "spread concepts" that Gailey runs. Do you have a scouting report on Rogers? He is 6'3" and weighs about 220. Has great size CFL has six receiver stats: receptions, yards, touchdowns, yards gained after the catch, plays made of thirty yards or more and catches that move the chains on second down (remember, only three downs!) He was leading the league in every category. He is still young (24) Played at a VERY small school (California Lutheran) The big knock on him was his strength. I think a couple years in the CFL has helped with that. He is not the greatest route runner, nor has he top end speed. But he blocks EXTREMELY well, and makes the tough catch. He is also a GREAT red-zone threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
