#27TheDominator Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 So we have Hill, who is having a lot of trouble catching the ball, Kerley and Holmes with hamstring issues and Schilens also hurt. Why we wouldn't we bring in a veteran to step in when we need him to? Again, bringing him in makes this team better. Disagree. Just makes it older. If those guys aren't ready when the season starts we can worry. Right now we are better off finding out what the Eron Rileys and Royce Pollards of the world can give us.

JustInFudge Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Jets aren't so desperate at WR. As much as I want to see them commit to the young guys and give them reps...their WR core sucks. Badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaffney does not change that. Whoever they pick up is not likely to be part of the "core". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Gaffney does not change that. Whoever they pick up is not likely to be part of the "core". at least with a Gafney Dom you KNOW what you are getting. The guy can catch a football, knows how to run a route-UNLIKE pretty much every other pass catcher we have with the exception of #10. Patrick Turner is our second best receiver at this point. This is the worst receiving corps we've had since I don't even know when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 As someone said on Twitter last night, Stephen Hill runs routes like he wandered onto a frozen lake. He is very raw He looks goofy as all hell out there and he doesnt know how to the catch the Football. I'm not expecting this guy to have a very good NFL career. Hopefully his size and speed can help take the top off the defense, but I'm not holding my breath on him turning out to be worth a damn. Gaffney does not change that. Whoever they pick up is not likely to be part of the "core". He surely does. Dude would have been our leading receiver last year by a wide margin and he had Rex Grossman and John Beck throwing him the Football. He's not part of the future core...but he's a sure handed option that would easily the 2nd best WR on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Id much rather Gaffney than Stallworth. Gaffney would probably start. Unless they really like Pat Turner...who I guess would be starting opening day if they dont add anyone. (quite the prediction by me I might add) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Are you serious? YES he's worth a look. Bring them all in, this WR group sucks balls. *Looks at Tanny...Looks at Braylon Edwards...Looks at Tanny* For the last time, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN WR'S WHO CANNOT CONTRIBUTE ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

Now is not the ime to look for people where you "know what you get". It's the time to look for a surprise, like Maybin. There will be plenty of time to pick up reliable crap later. People will not be clamoring to these guys door. I also disagree about the receivers. 3 of the top 4 have barely played and the one that has we knew was going to be raw.

You're rolling out Holmes, a raw rookie, a 2nd year player made for the slot and Patrick Turner with his career 10 catches but the Jets wouldnt be interested in adding someone in which they know what they'd be getting? Huh? I'd think if they were going to add a vet, do it now, so he can get familiar with the playbook and build a rapport going with his QB before real bullets start to fly.

The QB isn't playing anymore. It's just practice. Practice! 2. If he signs after week 1 the deal isn't guaranteed. 3. As 80 says, we need specials, not geezers. 4. You overrate the guy and underrate the guys on our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overrating anything. He's an average WR who happens to be better than anyone on our team other than Holmes. Whatever, I've said before, I like committing to these young guys. Probably helps with the future but our offense is going to suck donkey dick this year and its my opinion Gaffney would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had 2 straight years with 60+ catches and 900 yards playing with Kyle Orton, Rex Grossman, and John Beck, which is better than any WR during the Sanchez era but you dont think he could help.

Matt39 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hill isnt ready. I think that's fairly clear by the way he's moving out there. He's not a 4.3 guy in pads yet....and basically your choices are Patrick Turner or Jabar Gaffney. Id prefer Gaffney honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen Jet Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Gaffney is a good possession receiver, something that this roster really doesn't have at the moment at the WR position. He had 50 first down catches last year, compared to 51 total receptions by Holmes and 59 first down receptions by the trio of Turner, Kerley and Holmes. We have very little experience on the roster at the position. He also can help mentor all of our young receivers and he helps us greatly in the depth department. Definitely worth a look.
