flgreen Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Who is the most reliable target? November, 30, 2011 Nov 30 8:11 PM ET Email Print Comments12 By Rich Cimini Rex Ryan said he expects his wide receivers -- "our big guns," as he called them -- to have a completion rate of at least 50 percent. He said "everyone will say the magic number seems to be 60 percent," but he thinks that's unrealistic for an outside receiver. In fact, some of the top QB-WR tandems are above 60. Turns out the Jets' wideouts, Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress, are only hovering around the 50 mark, give or take. Here's a breakdown of the Jets' WRs, TEs and RBs, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Keep in mind that TEs, RBs and slot receivers have higher rates because the passes are generally shorter: Player -- Recs -- Drops -- Targets -- Pct Holmes ...... 37 ........ 2 ........... 72 ....... 51.4 Burress ..... 34 ........ 3 .......... 72 ....... 47.2 Kerley ........ 17 ........ 0 .......... 19 ....... 89.5 Turner ....... 5 .......... 1 ........... 10 ....... 50.0 Keller ......... 40 ........ 1 ........... 71 ....... 56.3 Tomlinson .... 25 ...... 3 .......... 35 ...... 71.4 Greene ....... 20 ....... 0 ........... 23 ....... 87.0 McKnight .... 11 ....... 0 ........... 12 ....... 91.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
