joewilly12 Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Considering ALL the draft day busts that have worn a NY Jets uniform I say give this kid a break the best is yet to come, he's a good player who will help this team win a Super Bowl. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both these scary monsters should have been scooped up by the time... And both are dropping the ball. Although I still have high hopes for Big Cat. He has not produced as I thought but he was left out to dry with Mo disappearing on the line. I would have rather taken Gurley at that spot. We haven’t had a runner like Gurley since Freeman McNeil. It’s long overdue. Still Leo has room to get better. I can now see why Adams fell in the draft. He’s really a one dimensional player. He’s absolutely horrible in coverage. Not exactly the skill set you desire for the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are reacting badly to his huge mouth. I don't particularly like all the bravado coming out of him before he establishes himself as a dominant player on the field, but hey, that's his generation's mindset. It's fairly common. The reality is that in his rookie season, he was just an ordinary safety last year with below average coverage skills and adequate tackling. He really didn't flash anything special. But I'm patient. But I'd expect that all would agree that he has a long long way to go to live up to the hype that comes out of his mouth (all too often).

You guys have no idea what the expectations of the coaches were for Adams & if they gave him tons of assignments compared to anyone else in the secondary. He also played alongside another rookie in Maye, Clairborne hasn't finished a season yet where he hasn't missed snaps & the 2nd CB spot was manned by Buster Skrine sometimes. Plus, all I read about here is how badly we need a edge pass rusher and how bad our pass rush was last year but we expect our 2 rookie safeties to play like Ronnie Lott & Earl Thomas. Never mind that Lott & Thomas were playing behind incredible Dlineman like Bennett, Charles Haley, and with great CBs in their prime like Sherman & Dion Sanders. And both played on GREAT TEAMS with really good QBs ect. Many here thought Milliner, Coples, Pryor, Gholston, were gonna be great but are already disparaging a Jet that made more plays a a rookie than all of those guys combined. Even if Adams turns out to be just "very good" and not great is good enough for this Jet fan who has seen more busts than they have in the NFL football Hall of Fame. We're seeing Jets that can play football. You put enough of these guys on the field, find yourself a franchise QB (hopefully Darnold fits that bill), and have a TEAM competing every year for the playoffs. No matter where players are picked in the draft your never hitting 100% on hall of fame worthy players. Our expectations of EVERY HIGH DRAFT PICK are way too high, way too early in their careers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I'm hopeful he can elevate his play on the field somewhat close to what his mouth tells us. Right now his mouth and his play are miles apart. Also, you need to understand that any player who constantly runs his mouth like Adams is going to face the wrath of the fans when his play doesn't even come close to measuring up. So far, that is the case with Adams. I don't see this year's or last year's other rookies doing that, and the fans are quiet about their performance. You have to admit that Adams bring this on himself. Not the brightest bulb TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is he was a rookie, on a bad team, with a bad pass rush, playing next to another rookie, and still got recognized as a top rookie in the league. Getting burned by the 2 best TEs in the league (Gronk & Kelsey). Even Fasano is a decent vet & Miamis WRs were killing us so I'm sure our young safeties were trying to help & got out of position. His career is in its infancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maye’s coverage skills were clearly better than Adams who was burnt several times throughout the year. Adams was picked 6th in the draft. Let that sink into your brain ? cells. Harrison Smith, the best safety in football, was picked 29th. Adams is no Harrison Smith, no Cam Chancellor. I’d take Budda Baker over him in a heartbeat and he was drafted 36th in round 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptable Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I wish I could say you will all eat crow when this kid turns into a perennial all star... But the truth is your words will be forgotten and you will have moved on to attack the next rookie class saying that they are terrible and overdrafted because they can't run fast enough or break tackles or whatever else you can drum up on the negative side of the scouting reports... I like this kids attitude and wish that more of the players had this drive in their blood, but truth is that there are more Wilkerson's out there that will skate by for a contract then kids with drive like Jamal's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be here. I like Adams. I just did not particularly like him at 6. I don't think anybody ever called him terrible, but he can't run particularly fast and to be a safety worth 6, he should be transcendent. I like Adams attitude okay, and I don't mind his mouth, but if his leadership was worth so much we would not have had to clean out the locker-room and Wilkerson would not have been late to meetings. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with this, as others have pointed out, is that taking a box safety at 6 is a really poor use of resources. I also don’t think the ability to cover can be “molded” by experience. Either you can do it or you can’t. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetmech Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 It's weird the Jets would draft another safety high after the Pryor experiment. Hope he improves or just another bad high pick.

Even if Adams turns out to be just "very good" and not great is good enough for this Jet fan who has seen more busts than they have in the NFL football Hall of Fame. We're seeing Jets that can play football. You put enough of these guys on the field, find yourself a franchise QB (hopefully Darnold fits that bill), and have a TEAM competing every year for the playoffs. No matter where players are picked in the draft your never hitting 100% on hall of fame worthy players. Our expectations of EVERY HIGH DRAFT PICK are way too high, way too early in their careers.But Lee and Williams have not produced to their draft hype.
