Villain The Foe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Is a free agent. I didnt know that the 'boys cut him given that we've been talking about DRC for a few days. What do you guys think about picking him up? I hear he has bad hammy's but is he worth a look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 can't believe i am saying this but i prefer britt. both have about the same downside (washed up) but at least britt had elite talent if his head and knee are healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJets Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 He caught only like 25 passes in 11 games last year. It unfortunately might be bringing in an experienced stephen hill who we'd overpay for. Maybe a one year prove it deal like we tried with DRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt mind bringing in Jacoby Ford if I had to pick between the two. Ford can assist on the offense and special teams. Dude seems like a lightning rod if he can stay healthy. I guess thats why we have the latest greatest facility in the league. Put it to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Miles Austin and Kenny Britt would both improve the WR corps here instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree with u down to the cent if u switched Britt with Miles. Miles is a far superior talent tha Britt ever was. Britt is washed up. Miles just needs to stay on the field.

Jettington Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 We should go after Miles Austin/Britt/Rice then draft a WR and TE in the first 3 rounds. Decker (Austin/Britt/Rice) Nelson Kerley (Hill?) Cumberland + Draft Picks to get true #1s at both WR and TE would be a great receiving group. Then throw in a possible backfield of MJD, Ivory, and Powell, and dare I say we have a great offense on paper if Geno can get his act together.

Those additions at WR wouldn't make a lick of difference for us. All 3 have awful injury histories. MJD is intriguing but I doubt he'd be willing to be part of a running back by committee scenario.

BroadwayJets Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Who's the #1? Did the seahawks have a #1? No, they basically had 3 #2.5's. And our #1 is decker, whether you like it or not. His second year he put up great numbers with TEBOW. If we go WR first round it'll be Decker Kerley (probably) Lee and Nelson. Is that not good enough for you after what we had last year? And chris johnson is overrated and our running game was 3rd in the league last year and we'll should have Goodson playing this year. We're fine on offense if this is how it plays out, you sh*t stain.

Then throw in a possible backfield of MJD, Ivory, and Powell, and dare I say we have a great offense on paper if Geno can get his act together. Great would certainly be a daring statement, but I do not think it is as doom and gloom as others. Bottom line is that this team is young and built to win with defense, which is a model that is currently working in the NFC. Seattle, went through a very similar process. They built through the draft and then added key components when they were ready to be true title contenders. If people are upset with the current situation because they think we are SB contenders, then I can't help them. But the Jets are not that far off. There are very few true No.1 WRs in the league. Most teams have to spread the ball around to several solid guys. Right now, the Jets are close to having several solid receiving options. Decker, Nelson, and Kerley are solid targets. Cumberland improves every year. Hill will be the No. 5 WR, so that leaves adding a WR or two and TE in the draft. Given that the Jets will likely have 12 picks, that doesn't sound terrible. I am more concerned with the running game. Sure, improving the passing game will inherently improve the run game, but winning with defense means that you MUST have a dominant run game. Ivory came on strong towards the end of the year, Powell is better than expected, and if Goodsen can stay healthy and out of trouble, then the RB stable is fairly stocked. To me bringing in a RB would only be wise if they think he would be the starter. Instead, I would add a FA guard or two (Colon will likely return), and then draft depth.

I was thinking about this and it's debatable....but I think I agree. If you want to be a really tough grader by definition. Personally, imo, these are your true #1 guys right now. 1. Calvin Johnson 2. Andre Johnson 3. Larry Fitzgerald 4. AJ Green 5. Dez Bryant 6. Demaryius Thomas then...Josh Gordon (is one year enough to put him here? maybe)...Antonio Brown (awesome player, def the Steelers #1 but an NFL league wide legit #1? maaaybe or just a slight cut lower?)...Brandon Marshall and Vincent Jackson have to be part of the conversation. Then your Nelson's, Jeffrey's, Jackson's, Smith's & Colston's probably also a cut below a true #1 but all probably still better than Decker and very good. I dunno, we'll see. I mean, is Demaryius Thomas really that good without Manning? Is Jeffery that good without Brandon Marshall? Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 ^ I would probably add Gordon, Brown, Marshall and V. Jackson as true #1s with the other guys a slight notch below. So about 10 true #1s all together? ^ Decker is probably somewhere in the 15-20 range I'd like to think. Which isn't bad at all and pretty much in line with his contract give or take. Unless he's a complete product of the system. I don't think he is. He was playing solid prior to Peyton even as a rookie and was an excellent WR at Minn and had a pretty good buzz around his draft stock. He slid I think due to a foot problem and didn't test prior to the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ok for arguments sake lets say Decker is the Jets #1 WR opposing teams defenses key on him who does that leave us with?

Anyway, your post is right. The fact that we have such a huge portion of men that root for this team that combine 100% buy-in to paranoia spoonfed to them by beat"bloggers" with a housewife's depth of understanding of the game is alarming, to say the least.
