oc_jet Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 A little analysis from FootballGuys regarding the efficiency of top WRs and scoring touchdowns. The original article is all about Dez Bryant, but as I looked at the numbers, the JETS top two stood out, front and center. Of the top 30 wide receivers in the last six years Decker and Marshall are ranked 2nd and 7th at cashing in more of their red zone targets for touchdowns (minimum 40 targets). We do truly have a special tandem of WRs and need to maximize their talents in 2016, whilst they are still in their prime. Having Forte and Powell will only make them more dangerous, as they will have more space within which to operate. I am really looking forward to this year. Hopefully lots of teams will sleep on the JETS...and that will be a big mistake.

NYs Stepchild Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The top 4 TDs really jump out. No one is really close to the number of TDs as MArshall 40 Megatron 39, Decker 38, and Dez 35. No one else reached 30. Odell get special recognition for 14 in 2 years. would project to 35 and he missed half his rookie year. Wes Welker caught 75% of his red zone targets. That's impressive but mostly due to pick plays underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 what is amazing about this duo is outside of 2 years where Decker had Manning both WRs have had average at best QBs throwing to them and they keep scoring TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The fact that the team potentially has more viable threats like Amaro, Enunwa, Marshall, peake etc is a gopod feeling. You really need to have those plan C and D players because some team will sell out to shut down your prime guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The funny thing is DVOA and DYAR called this stuff on Decker years ago when he was with Manning when the eyeball test people were bellowing otherwise. Control variables are one heck of a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Control variables are one heck of a thing. It certainly helped that he was able to produce with Orton and Tebow as well. Dollar for dollar, we might have the best WR duo in the league besides, perhaps, Jordy Nelson-Randall Cobb (combined 2016 cap hit: $17.4M).

Nostradamus Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The 1st and 3rd most in rec TDs in NFL since 2010.........that's crazy impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUM-KNEE Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Nice to hear about our WRs being very good for a change. Kinda surprised Welker wasnt higher on the TD catch list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait it's the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'm projecting big years for Enunwa, Amaro, Jalin M, Forte, Powell. Brandon & Deck are that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
