Will definitely be pleased to get a real look at these guys. Kearse and Anderson are still obviously above them, but that won't change a need for a pretty massive increase in snaps for one or both of them. How old is Kerley 28? The reason he's been playing is because he's better than Stewart and Hansen, though he would never be my choice for returning punts. Truth be told, I think we whiffed on Stewart and Hansen. Stewart in particular had his chances to shine and has come up empty. Let's see what happens the remainder of the year. Something tells me the Jets will be signing, or drafting another WR early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young = UNder 30 That qualifies Kerley who is 28 albeit for a couple of other days. Maybe some haven't figured it out yet, but we actually are trying to win and make the playoffs. As mis-guided as that may sound, it's the truth and Kerley is miles better than Stewart and Hansen at this time in his career and maybe forever.

Enunwa didnt really come into his own until his 3rd year. So I think that judging the young receivers now is unfair. Just like declaring that Watson is the greatest when he's played 7 games Enunwa played sparingly his first year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sit a guy playing that well. This doesn't mean Kerley is a better player than any of those guys. Forte gets more time than Powell & at this point in their careers Powell is the superior player. Kerley has had a solid career as a slot receiver. He was productive till Chan Gailey replaced him with a Decker and reduced him to punt returner, then got rid of him. Even after that he performed admirably for the 49ers, with close to 700 yards in a backup role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you possibly know what Stewart and Hansen have if you don't play them in game situations? We know what Kerley can do, and so does Bowles. Given the concept that Bowles is playing for wins to keep his job, he is going to go with what he knows. I blame Bowles more on the issue, since he is TRYING to win to stay employed. Now, is that also Mac supporting this, or has Woody put in a mandate? Who knows, but McCown shouldn't be doing anything but holding a clipboard and pulling off Mark Sanchez-esque hot dog sideline dining. OMG, Bowles is trying to win, but wait isn't that his job?

Because Bowles has never given playing time to any young/inexperienced WRs who were low-round draftees or UDFAs. He never tried forcing Jalin Marshall onto the field despite his repeated butterfingers, and we all know Robbie Anderson is still rotting on the bench, just like he never saw any action in his rookie season. Also it's totally believable and likely that Todd Bowles is overruling his OCs as to which WRs to play and which to bench. Holy sh*t. I read this thread from the beginning and started to post this. Then I read this and figured it wasn't necessary. Then I read another page and a half complaining about Bowles forcing vets on the field in place of these poor youngsters. How is the sarcasm lost on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than anderson all of our prize late rounders and mid rounders can't get on the field due to medium vets like kerley and kearse. Bowles does not play them, because of bias, not skill. Young offensive players sitting is not a reflection of their ability under Bowles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles plays vets on offense because he wants to win TODAY. We as fans want the young guys in there to learn how to play while we'll losing anyway. Huge WIN for the fans. We have no idea how good Stewart or Hansen can become. Many, many young WRs took years to become household names. The Jets would have cut a guy like Edelman instead of developing him for 2 years. Just like Danny Woodhead. Everyone we draft doesn't have to be a STAR. Just learn their role & help us win in 2018. Giving a vet heavy leaning coach like Todd Bowles the steering wheel to a rebuilding team is a mistake to begin with. Injuries are forcing his hand. We need a Josh McCown hamstring pull to complete the mission here in 2017. Danny Woodhead was a numbers game, no one wanted to cut him, but someone had to go.

Could even just be an adderall type drug to help him focus because he has been able to catch everything thrown his way. I think he has always been a solid receiver. Not spectacular, but effective.

section314 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Why are you guys surprised that Stewart could start for Saban for 3 years, but not see the field for Bowles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Goodman Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Disappointing. His excuse was even more disappointing - "I was shocked by a positive test for Turinabol" I think most people who were falsely flagged would say "I have no idea wtf this substance is, never heard of it nor used it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Todd Bowles who “ignores” the offense when that line suits the same peoples’ arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the point I was making... I Suppose your point is that he's looking short term, not long term. On the other hand, I think he's not playing Stewart and Hansen because they're not ready. Adams, Maye and McGwire are in there and they've done pretty well. Anderson was a starter by end of last year. Stewart has not looked good when he had his chances. What's wrong with giving players a year to develop if they're not ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
