Those guys all impact their Defenses more than Adams. And if Derwin James wasn't hurt last year he would once again prove he is more impactful playing SS than Adams. James stats his rookie year were way more impressive than any of the 3 years Jamal has played. 75 Solo Tackles, 3.5 Sacks, 3 Picks and 13 PD's. I'll take that over Adams anyday especially on Sunday. On top of that, Derwin James was crucial in stopping Lamar in the playoffs in 2018. Chargers literally schemed their defense around him playing around the LoS. James is faster, taller, more explosive, jumps higher, and is more productive when he plays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I am serious. His antics are in the let's compare him to TO range. Hopefully it drives his contract value into the toilet so that others will think twice about copying the same "let me shoot my way out of town" strategy. His implicit value to the Jets is a ship that has already sailed IMO. What remains is his value as a caution to others. He hasn’t done a thing to be fined but you did say fine him and bench him. He isn’t a distraction. Players never think someone negotiating their future is a distraction. That’s fan talk. TO dis things on the field. TO didn’t show to camp. So far the TO comparison doesn’t fit Why on earth anyone who wants to trade and all pro/pro bowl player would want to drive his price down by benching him for the year is beyond me. The team is better with him playing. That’s not maximizing the value of your best player and chip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultimate question is how good is your team if your franchise player is a Safety? Not very good would be my guess; Ed Reed, who was a FS, and the Ravens being the only exception I can think of for the modern era (although you can make the argument that Ray Lewis was their franchise player, not Reed) That’s a whole different story for JD. I’ve never said If JD doesn’t want to pay a S and can get the right return, go for it. But giving him away for 60 cents on a dollar like the 80’s of the board would is as dumb as some insistence that he’s not good. That’s my argument 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are popularity contests and even though Jamal is a good player, he screams his name the loudest, and all these young impressionable NFL fans feed into it. If Jamal tweeted as much as Marcus Maye, you think half the people that know of him would still know he exists? CB has always been more important than SS, FS is arguable, but SS is definitely less important than CB. If you need proof compare Franchise Tag prices, or Contracts, or see how often CB's go in the 1st round vs SS's. Grant Delpit and the Bama safety are both talented, one a FS the other a SS. Both went at the top of the 2nd round, because they are replaceable. Tom Brady couls avoid Revis, but he's the Goat and never really had a true #1 besides Moss and Gronk. And Revis held his own vs Moss. What about the teams with true #1's like Andre Johnson, Calvin, Reggie Wayne, T.O, Chad Johnson, Marques Colston....because Revis made all these guys irrelevant.

Jetsfan80 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Jamal Adams' numbers last year, which was his best season to date: 61 Solo Tackles 1 INT 6.5 Sacks 2 FFs 1 FR 10 TFLs 7 PDs LB Joe Schobert's numbers on average over the last 3 seasons: 78.3 Solo Tackles 2.0 INTs 2.7 Sacks 2.3 FFs 1.0 FRs 4.7 TFLs 6.3 PDs Schobert was recently allowed to walk in free agency by the Cleveland Browns. He signed with the Jaguars this offseason for $10.8M per year over 5 years. Jamal Adams is asking to be paid like one of the NFL's top defenders, somewhere in the neighborhood of $20M per year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he does not appear to be a game changer and cited our W/L record as evidence in support of that. My answer on your "anyone of consequence" nonsense is the group of so called experts who were supportive of Adams, to a man would not have give even a single first rounder in trade for him. So either his play on the field is where he falls short or his additional baggage are what is bringing his value down. Or both (my own opinion). i.e. he is not that good to begin with AND he has huge salary demands AND he is a problem employee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
