Robbie


Recommended Posts

Robbo is not a back bencher. Robbo makes every roster in the NFL and gets 1st team reps as the WR2 or WR3.

I only add my voice here to combat the overwhelming ignorance that exists here.

Every bit as good as, say, Cotchery...  and undrafted...   shrug..

Cotch played 7 yrs w/ Jets had 18 TD, Robbo 4 and 20....

Imagine living in a world where catch rate actually means something.

Mike Evans catch rate his first 4 years.

55.7

50.00

55.5

52.2 

These numbers sound oddly familiar.

Again, unless you are a league leader in drops...  catch rate has more to do with the WB throwing catchable passes your way....

Anderson is running as Carolina's number two WR (behind DJ Moore) and number 3 offensive weapon. That's a good setup for him to succeed. Being the number 1 WR and focus of the passing game isn't a role he's suited for and anyone who thinks he'd be putting up the same numbers here is delusional

He was an 800 yard, 7ish TD guy for 3 years here. Nobody is claiming he’s Michael Thomas bu he was always a player

Wonder what the bizarre reasoning and excuses look like if he finishes with 1000 yards+ and 100 catches.

"He never would have put up those numbers here" is a time-honored classic here.

I've lost count of how many people use that one to rationalize - even in hindsight - taking Jamal Adams over either Mahomes or Watson. But it must be a convincing argument in the minds of some, because they still trot it out lol.

"He'd have been injured if we re-signed him." I got a kick out of this one from both posters who tried floating it already.

"There's nothing we could have done. He wanted to sign with his college coach." While ignoring how elated he was, publicly, when he didn't get traded at the deadline (and before his college coach had even interviewed with a single NFL club), as though extending him then would have been some bizarre act from a team turning down a mid-round pick for him.

 

Beyond these reasons/excuses, the best will be how many people will demand Darnold be handed the starting job for a 4th uncontested/unchallenged tryout year because all 3 of his seasons thus far should be declared mulligans.

Not only is it a reflection of the QB but it is also a reflection of his route percentage. As the haters love to point out, he is a deep ball specialist. Well deep balls in general have a significantly lower percentage of being caught. If he ran 90% of his routes at the line of scrimmage I would venture to guess his catch percentage would go through the roof.

He's runnig alotta drag routes underneath Moore so far this year....     and through 2 games hsi cacth % is way up...

the yard in air /attemp would also  be much lower.

Guaranteed Robby has more yards and TDs than our top 2 WRs combined.

That may be.  Our top 4 WR's are all injured to one degree or another.

It doesn't mean we should have overpaid to retain him.

It doesn't mean he would perform that way here, with Gase, and Darnold.

I appreciate that Jets Fans LOVE to obsess over how ex-Jets do elsewhere, but let me be clear:  I do not care about a 2nd tier talent like Anderson or how he does in (so far 0-2) Carolina.  It's simply not relevant to us, he's on a different team, with a different QB, and a materially better overall supporting cast (we don't have a single player equal to McCaffrey for example).  

Our team made a fair offer for his talent and likely output here, which he declined, then tried to tell everyone was never made to save face. 

He took a deal to play for his beloved ex-college Coach instead of playing with Gase. 

He took a deal to play with a better QB, rather than stay and work with our Golden Boy bust. 

It is, what it is.

Well, the first explanation for that is rather obvious:

No Gase.  No Darnold.  No crappy Jets Offense.

I fully expect him to exceed his performance levels here.  In every case he's playing for a better Coach, with a better QB, and with a much better offensive unit.  And he is their #2 WR, which is what he should be, and what I said he was all along. 

The fact that he almost assuredly be better there than here does mean anything about how he would be here this year.

I'll remind you, the last two years (with Sam) he barely exceeded 700 yards and 5 TD's.  There is no reason whatsoever to think he would be better than that with THIS offense this year here.  Or that he would make any meaningful difference to this teams record or overall offensive production rankings.  We were close to dead last in passing last year WITH Robby Anderson, remember.  

Why don't ALL OF US see how the season plays out before we start nominating Robby f'ing Anderson for our Ring of Honor, eh.

Sure, Mims should be better than Anderson, but we can’t keep swapping guys, you need depth at some point. You need to add WRs.   Why not Mims and Anderson and Crowder and even throw in Perriman.   It’s awesome that there is $70 million in cap space, but there is also only 34 guys under contract.   It’s deja vu for this franchise again.  Lots of cap space, but LOTS of holes.

one man's over pay is another man's fair market value

bottom line the Jets are sitting on a pile of cap space unused, and have no healthy wide outs 

Bingo

Such an underrated route runner. When he beats his guy he leaves him in the dust.

That 75 yarder on week one was a beauty. Nearly broke the CB's ankles cutting upfield. Doesn't count though.

So forget the 5th clip vs Washington; he wasn’t open on that play, with a man on him and another on top, and given that it doesn’t even look like he’s looking back for the pass that was just thrown away due to pressure. 

But the rest? 7 passes that would have netted some 370 yards & 5 TDs that were all on the QB throwing it not Anderson — and this was just a short selection of longer tosses from the 2019 season alone (and didn’t include however-many others that weren’t such big-chunk yardage misses, or passing plays where he was open & no attempt was even made).

They review this film on every play after every game. So when it comes to evaluating a receiver and not just his numbers, on these where it was thrown badly, Gase & Douglas should have mentally added those shoulda-been’s to his 779 yards and 5 TDs since the failure to complete these weren’t on the open receiver, no matter if he’s just Anderson or a way-better Hopkins or even freaking you

It’s convenient for people to ignore these so they can rationalize other reasons for the (granted, very early) success away from here, like having other targets on his current offense. But on the 2019 Jets offense, with no other such wepponz to take pressure off him, and with 25% of the season spent with Luke Falk ffs at QB rarely attempting more than a 2-5 yard pass, his own play on the field factoring these 7 plays alone should have been some 1150 yards & 10 TDs. So just blast a receiver’s numbers when he’s been handicapped by playing with QBs who are often missing him on big plays, no matter how open he is, as though a better receiver would accurately throw it to himself.

Someone should re-post this video every time someone is again kvelling over Darnold’s accuracy. An accurate QB doesn’t leave these and so many other yards on the field. Maybe (and hopefully) the light will go on, or there is a light to go on, but so far he’s been a colossal letdown.

I admit I was wrong on robbie football ability. I think is terrible still for off field stuff and I am right about that, but he sure looks so far a very capable wr2. Of course coaching and game plan held him back, but I really didn't think he could runs route, turns out he just terrible play calls.

He was misused for his entire jet career, like many other players...all of our other players really.

We need to stop defeating ourselves and give our talent a chance.

Robby was a good player for the Jets and will continue to be one. The bashing he got here was always pathetic. The loser was Enunwa. 

This fan base does not like its good players and can’t wait to get rid of them.

There was glee around this place when he wasn’t resigned.  It’s pathetic!

Bump? I have a hunch it'd get bumped if he caught just 1 pass for 6 yards this past Sunday.

Remember: all he does, and all he can do, is run a go route. Avg route is 6.6 yards at time of catch with 6.9 YAC. Pretty short go routes they run down there in Carolina. 

  • 28/34 (82.4% catch rate) and one of those 6 non-catches was a meaningless, low % heave with 16 seconds left in week 2.
  • 377 yards
  • Just 1 TD, but it's also the only one Teddy's thrown to a WR so far this season.

If only Macc had paid Anderson instead of Enunwa, kept Bridgewater, and we hired Matt Rhule.  

Somehow still replace Macc with Douglas and we'd be sitting in pretty good shape right now!

Enunwa over Anderson was one of the biggest dumb f*** moves from the head dumb f*** in Florham Park. 

Then it was really encouraging as a Jets fan to see Rhule turning Macc down because Rhule had the temerity to want to pick his own coaches instead of a lame duck GM - a glorified scout who was never qualified to be a GM in the first place - selecting his offensive coordinator for him. 

It's like he was after the best HC who'd accept his unacceptable terms rather than find the best HC. And do you really have faith in a HC who'd accept such unconscionable terms in the first place?

Holy ****

He didn't fight for those passes!

the good point is darnold made the right decision in throwing to him.  but you are right, robbie was open enough on those routes.  compare with how crowder had to come down with a pass with the db hanging all over him last thursday.
