Paradis Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This is ridiculous. Minus the Bears' castoff Wilson, our entire collective WR corps has 100 receptions, total... in their careers. I get the #1 pick quest, but we still have a responsibility to play pro-football for a season. GM still has to field a team. I can't be the only one who feels we need to consider bringing in some long-in-talent types who've struggled elsewhere. At least kick the tires.

joewilly12 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hard pressed to develop a young QB with the WR corps we have assembled not even Tom Brady could succeed with this group...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What difference would some castoff retread FA make? Or trading a needed draft pick commodity, even a 7th, for some below-average or mediocre veteran? How does that help? This is shaping up to be the worst Jet team in franchise history. And that is the best thing that could happen to this franchise. The timing is FINALLY advantageous for this downtrodden franchise to go 1-15, plenty of blue-chip QB prospects in play for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Clue Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Only free agent WR I would have considered was Anquan Boldin, and he was just signed today by the Bills. Yes, he's old, but he was quite productive last year for the Lions he had 67 receptions 584 yards and 8 tds. Wish the Jets reached out and would've signed him to a one year vet minimum deal.

Your hearts in the right place, but you're missing my point. What I'm NOT saying: Trade for a WR Invest any $$ into worn out vets We need to win games and we need to get WRs to accomplish that As if signing a couple high ceiling WRs is going to change our chances of getting a QB in 2018 draft... seriously dude. What I am saying: We have to field a real team We could stand see if any developmental projects stick on the roster past 2017 The defense is going to be like "fck you..." if they spend 80% of the game on the field because the Jets intentionally avoided fielding any semblance of competency, Why would you play for a franchise that rolls pilons. You don't think the lockerroom will cave? We have nothing to lose by bringing in Eric Rogers, Riggie Diggs, DGB, Marquez North, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 it would be nice to get a WR and pay what the Titan's paid for Decker-my guess is that the Jets offered him more but he turned it down. Eric Decker's 1-year deal with #Titans is worth up to $5.35 million, per source. $2.5M signing bonus, $1.35M salary, up to $1.5M incentives. 15 minutes ago, K Clue said: Only free agent WR I would have considered was Anquan Boldin, and he was just signed today by the Bills.

This is their plan. Get the 1st draft pick because we suck. But also give our very young defense tons of experience. If they play twice as much as usual, all the rookies will basically be 3rd year guys next year. And people think Belichick is smart... psh. He's got nuttin on Macc n Bowles.

And you're right, the defense is in for a long season. But I doubt there is anyone out there that can help them "field a team." Part of the upside to this miserable season will be finding the self-motivated players that won't "cave." As for the quitters? Both vets and youth? Hit the road... BTW, I wouldn't even discuss DGB.

I understand the point you're trying to make, and within reason it's sensible. Underline within reason. We've crossed that threshold. What happens if all three junior quarterbacks decide to stay in school? There's a lot more moving parts here than your acknowledging.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that Rogers had success in Canada, but he is like 26, coming off of an ACL. I see they are all kind of tall, but I'm surprised that Diggs was one of your guys. What did you like about him?
