SenorGato Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/12/23/best-nfl-rookies-2014-teddy-bridgewater-aaron-donald Not much has gone right with the Jets' passing offense this year, but in Amaro, the team looks to have a weapon at the tight end position with great potential. The second-round pick's highlight game this season was his 10-catch, 68-yard game against the Broncos on Oct. 12 -- since then, injuries and the general malaise surrounding the team's quarterback position have conspired to limit his opportunities. He has just three catches for 26 yards in his last five games. Something something says more about rookie TEs sucking than Amaro and a great future something something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have some potential, and with the right QB he could be pretty effective I think......problem is it won't be easy finding the right QB as any Jets fan knows.

I don't watch college football so I'll take your word for it. Regardless, I'll be happy if we draft a QB again this year because we don't have the answer on our roster at the moment IMO, and if we don't draft one we won't find one.

papz187 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Back to Amaro and the lack of production from rookie TEs this year, I'm surprised that guys like Ebron and ASJ haven't had more of an impact this year. I haven't watched these guys, but just looking at their stat line, what happened to Ebron? I remember being worried about him when we played Detroit due to how much we struggle with TEs. Without a healthy Megatron that game he still was hardly a factor.....and that was statistically his best game of the season with 3 catches for 34 yards and his lone TD of the season! His totals are 23 catches for 211 yards to go along with his 1 TD in 12 games . With Stafford throwing to him, Megatron (even at less than 100% for a good part of the season) and Golden Tate I thought Ebron would definitely be more productive and be a favorite for offensive rookie of the year coming into this season. He has battled a hamstring injury this season that must have impacted his effectiveness. http://www.nfl.com/player/ericebron/2543466/profile ASJ has 21 catches for 221 yards and 2 TDs in 9 games this year. His QB situation is just as bad as ours, I still thought he'd be a little more productive. He's currently on injured reserve with a back injury.....so maybe a new QB and being healthy will lead to more production next year. http://www.nfl.com/player/austinseferian-jenkins/2543683/profile In comparison Amaro has 35 receptions for 311 yards and 2 TDs on the season in 13 games. Like ASJ, hopefully a new QB and being healthy will lead to more production next year.....I definitely see some potential in Amaro, he just needs someone to get him the ball. http://www.nfl.com/player/jaceamaro/2543481/profile Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas2No99 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Amaro is the least of our concerns going forward on this team. If and when the QB got him the ball, he did well. Now he just needs to focus better on "big" clutch plays and stop those gut-wrenching drops. His pass was this year, next season that becomes intolerable.

Barton Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Amaro has been OK but if he ever wants to be anything more than another slightly above average Jets tight end who shows flashes for a few years but never actually matures into an impact player, he needs to hit the training room and get his body into proper shape.

joewilly12 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Maybe an OC who calls plays to utilize the TE more often will help Amaro reach greatness here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only if he gets a QB (and a system) that doesn't suck. As others have said, he needs to work on his drops, but I don't think he's a lost cause already on that front.

He was projected to go to the Jets in a lot of mock drafts I read but Detroit ended up taking him with their pick. I bet Detroit wish they took Beckham Jr instead. Can you imagine him and Megatron on the same team? Would easily be the best 1-2 punch in the league IMO.

patman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I found the right QB, his name is Bo Wallace of Ole Miss. Now we just have to find the right offensive coordinator and coach. I like Wallace myself, but more for his game personality than his potential as a pro starter. He is a "college qb" like Tebow, Wuerfel, Kellen Moore etc, When Jenkins went down before thanksgiving, there was nobody else to give it to. What a disappointment was last years TE freshman class, Niklas, Ebron, Jenkins, and Amaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patman Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I thought Amaro had a good rookie season. Don't understand all the negativity The drops, It is one thing for WRs to have drops 20-25 yards from the qb, but TEs most often are 1/2 that distance away and more times than not just sitting in a zone in the flat. Those "sun gets in his eyes" type plays just stick out in memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 His stats look better and guys like Ebron dropped more balls than Amaro. (believe it or not) So the competition wasn't exactly impressive or deep? The best of the worst basically. He's not a very impressive player is you ask me. He's a plodder who drops the ball and can't block. Forgive me if I'm not impressed by this award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'm sure Jace will be better next year. The problem with young TEs is they never had to block in college. A lot more preparation in the NFL, more coverages, more blitzing. He had to think about other things rather than just line up & do whatever the hell he pleased. Game will slow down a little hopefully the new coaches incorporate the TE more, would like to see us sign Clay as a FA ( good combo), Cumby needs to hit the bricks, another waste of damn time by the Jets on a below average player. Jets need to revamp the offensive philosophy by having 2 decent TEs, a younger RB (maybe take a flyer on Gurley if he falls to the 3rd because of the ACL). Ivory + Gurley, Clay, Amaro, Decker, Kerley, Cooper? They would have the personnel to maul you & go 4 wide with TEs that can also hurt you.

Vinny16 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The only thing this honor does is show just how poor the 2014 TE rookie class was. Amaro is a very average TE at best and did not perform well this season. I have to wonder how poorly the other TEs in this rookie class did if Amaro grades out on top.

bergenjets Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Terrible stats for a rookie TE, especially with the all-time great play from the QB position. Awful tight ends like Tony Gonzalez, Jimmy Graham and Jason Witten were just a little better in their rookie years. Imagine how bad Amaro is going to be. More seriously, he has to clean up the drops, but he looks like one of the few (only?) bright spots in a pathetic draft year for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Amaro does have nimble feet for a big guy- so he's got that going for him. But so many quotes early on, anonymously about how soft he was...seems fairly common with a lot of rookies these days though. They underestimate how tough the league is...especially with how little effort college defenses give nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funaz Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 My problem with Amaro is we picked a TE instead of a WR, in a class flush with Wrs, when that was a MAJOR position of need. Also 300 yards and 2tds, isn't exactly something to get excited about. Well see hopefully he improves. sent from my Lumia 1020 using tapatalk.
