Adam Gase on Jets WR options after injuries: 'Whoever's got a pulse right now'

The New York Jets are one of the most banged-up teams in the NFL and are particularly decimated at the receiver position.

It's gotten to the point where coach Adam Gase is just searching for warm bodies.

"Whoever's got a pulse right now, we're ready to go," Gase said of the Jets injuries at WR, per Greg Joyce of the NY Post.

Sam Darnold's top three receivers all dealing with injury.

Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is doubtful to play this week versus the Indianapolis Colts, the coach noted Thursday. Breshad Perriman won't practice today due to an ankle injury, and Chris Hogan is limited after dealing with a rib injury.

Braxton Berrios and Josh Malone are the only other wideouts on the roster. Lawrence Cager could get the call-up from the practice squad this week with all of the issues.

It's bad enough the talent surrounding Darnold was already sub-par. Adding injuries to the equation makes the situation even worse for Gang Green.

Adam Gase saddled with the worst roster in football 2 years in a row.

Demarius Thomas must have legit told Gase to ****-off or he'd be there.

Well, according to experts on here Darnold sucks, so it doesn't matter who he's throwing to, he wouldn't hit them with the pass anyway.

Rex got to .500 with an equally bad set of offensive weaponry and purportedly much worse QB.

[Mo Lew]

Don’t see how we give up on Sam this year. Our we talent is high school level. 

 

Oh wait blaming it on Sam would be exactly what the Jets would do.

Gase got to .500 last year with a monoback because we really beat Buffalo in game 1.

If you have to make excuses for your FQB three years in a row, you don't have a FQB.

Stunned Corey Coleman isn't already a Jet.

Fortunately, I read on JN that all WRs are interchangeable, so it really shouldn't effect our QB too much.

And if there's even a chance that you don't have a FQB, you have to act like you need a FQB. But doubt is always resolved in the other direction on both counts. Because dudes get attached.

It's so good we didnt sign robbie.

Injuries a theme of all of his teams.

I think players make up excuses not to play for Gase.  Would rather wait until next year.

Oversimplification but relatively true if you have a legit FQB.

I can't stand Adam Gase, but this is 100% accurate.

But to be fair - he's also put out the worst offense in the NFL over the past two years.

[Saul Goodman]

I can take another last place season. What sucks about this particular (sure to be) last place season is that the roster is so bad that I don’t think players can develop in these circumstances, at least not optimally. An offense simply can not function with guys like Berrios and Malone starting at receiver.

[Welp]

Just call up Cager and see if he's legit or not.

Here, here!

Just an unmitigated disaster.

Whoever has a pulse . . . Wait, I have a pulse! But, I'm uh, I'm busy this weekend. Yeah, that's it, I'm busy.

The best of the best QB's wouldn't be good in this Jets offense either the past 2-3 years.

[slimjasi]

So how many WRs do people think we are dressing this week? 

Looking like another day of 20 Frank Gore Carries and 50 WR screens. 

Yay.

There is a huge range of things between "good" and "Darnold." Let's see, just to name a few:

• Medicore
• Acceptable
• Average
• Not bad
• Eh
• Meh
• So-so
• Passable

With that logic, we really didn’t beat Buffalo game 16. We beat their glorified practice squad. Barely, I might add. They don’t hand out “We finally beat Matt Barkley” trophies, and with good reason.

The truth is we didn’t really beat Buffalo week 1. Just like if we came back to beat someone who suffered their own injuries - e.g. the Giants being reduced to a practice squad LT mid-game - it isn’t really a Jets loss even if it does taint the win a bit. 

I love how if we changed one select thing, all the good things that happened would have stayed the same and it only would have reversed the bad things. Except it doesn’t really work that way. Darnold is more than capable of chucking up picks and errant passes when 100% healthy. 

Lost in that “prolly woulda” fantasy is the likelihood that the Jets would have prolly still lost at least 2 (if not all 3) of the Falk games. Like if we lost to the pathetic, winless Bengals with Luke Falk in there for Darnold, there’s little doubt an army of excuse-makers would still be calling that a sure thing woulda-won result.

So let's give Darnold a lifetime contract, just to be safe.  Can't afford him becoming a mediocre QB somewhere else!

At this rate Sam won't be "evaluated fairly" by some Jets Fans till two years after he's playing for another team.

[TNJet]

Then count Gase out...

Look you don't like Darnold, I get it. People are obsessed with his footwork which I think is silly because none of us really no squat about throwing in the NFL- (Marino has said he actually looks for QBs like Darnold because in the NFL you are always awkward) but whatever, I have no idea why people are all thinking we somehow have to give Darnold a huge contract. We don't. We control him for 2 years on rookie and 2 franchise years after that. Also, it should be noted that Brees was very similar in many ways to Darnold at this stage of their careers. Sam needs rhythm. Brees does too. Even to this day when Brees does not get it he can play quite average like he did Monday
