It’s hard to predict the type of non-physical issues that plague Mims. These victory lap threads are the absolute dumbest things around. You should feel more stupid for starting a thread like this than anyone who thought Mims would pan out. I disagree totally, victory lap threads are good and valid. Why? Because when some people said the guy stinks early they received no 2uater from the Mims fans. Now because we know for sure he is a awful people just want to be quiet and let it fade into the background? Nope. We all have opinions and most of use are pretty forthright with our judgements, we are right or we are wrong so if we can crow about hitting on something we should eat it when we don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Had hoped Mims would convert his prodigious athletic talents (he’s an elite athlete among elite athletes) into performance but he is looking like a dog (not dawg). That’s what I get for being somewhat optimistic about a Jet! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody else can have moments of bad play and they’re not punished like this. The first penalty would have negated a TD; the second was a basic mental error - even I spotted it was going to get called before the flag came out, that's how simple it was. Last week he negated a good run (17 yards or so) with another penalty, and appeared to cost us a timeout due to lining up in the wrong spot. You can maybe get away with that if you're making plays ... but he's not. He had a great chance to step up today and show what he could do - and cost us significant yardage on a potential scoring drive before half time. We were lucky to come away with a FG.

Other than Elijah Moore, and LaMont Jordan, this list is putrid 2021: Elijah Moore 2020: Denzel Mims 2016: Christian Hackenberg 2015: Devin Smith 2014: Jace Amaro 2013: Geno Smith 2012: Stephen Hill 2006: Kellen Clemens 2001: LaMont Jordan 1996: Alex Van Dyke 1991: Browning Nagle 1990: Reggie Rembert sad list. realistically the 6 of the 7 players picked on that list in the last decade could easily still be on the team had they worked out. hopefully moore doesn't have the sophomore jinx that mims and smith and hill suffered.

If I am taking a test, multiple choice and don’t really know the answer but just take a blind guess and happen to be right, is that something to brag about? Id have less issue with things like this if I saw a lot of the threads being started when they were wrong. That never happens.

Popular Post JustInFudge Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I think this is one of the more interesting threads of all time. It's like an angry victory lap. He's more pissed at fans wanting a player to be good than he is happy that he was right that Mims sucks. That type of conflicting emotion must be stressful. I thought Denzel Mims was going to be a good Football player. I do not feel stupid for being wrong, but I do feel stupid posting in this thread. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was from the beginning I wanted to see if he was any better than the receivers that were playing and failing. He wasn’t, he is way worse than I could imagine. I was just like wut? Today! I thought the coaching staff was exaggerating at how bad he understood the offense, haha, uhhh, just damn. I’m happy something brings you joy, no surprise it’s that particular gif. Truth is I wanted to see what he could do. Turns out to be nothing more than making a bad team worse. Honestly homeboy, could not imagine he was that bad. Honestly I think your exaggerating that a bit. Felt like it was more me wanting to see what he could do and turns out to be nothing. But go ahead, have fun. I wouldn’t want to be the one to stifle anyones creativity. Now would I? Oh stop it, please. You know I'm just using some humor to assuage the disappointment from another embarrassing loss, missed QB pick, and double digit season. No serious harm meant. You're still my cutie. Who knows? Maybe Mims just hasn't yet found his place in this world. For all we know, he enters the Digambara sect of Jainism. Or saves a busload of kids during a raging flood.

I wouldn’t say I was/am a Mims “fanboy” but we drafted a 6-3 215 speedster. At a position of need. So I rooted for him. He’s a Jet after all. Why should anyone feel “stupid” rooting for a high 2nd round WR? Does this make people feel good? Should we not root for our players? Our high draft picks? Don’t get it. Such a good post unfortunately, nobody hates the jets more than jets fans. The years of losing has filled this fanbase with rage that very few other fanbases can appreciate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I get for being somewhat optimistic about a Jet! This stuff is all 505/50 (but somehow always losing for the Jets) I was bullish on both Mims and Moore. I pounded the table for both on draft day. One is awesome when he plays, the other looks like a huge bust right now. Nobody knows anything but the smart money is on the Jets always picking the wrong guy or having him flash for half a season only to get hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maury77 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Mims had elite testing numbers coming out, pretty good film, seemed to be a hard worker. I have no clue what happened to this kid, but I think he needs a change of scenery. He just appears clueless on the field at times. I’m not even that concerned about the lack of separation because he’s big enough to make contested catches. It’s just not happening for him.

UntouchableCrew Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I don't blame anyone who wanted to see Mims play. Today was a pretty good illustration of why the coaching staff is so down on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I don’t think he was as good as some people thought he was last year, and I don’t think he is as bad as he has looked in very limited time this year. Personally, I don’t think he understands the offense, lost all his confidence and is overthinking it. At this point, he needs a change in scenery to have any chance.

IndianaJet Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 13 hours ago, Hex said: On the bright side, it's now obvious why Mims was inactive for so long It was pretty obvious in training camp when they were reporting that Mims constantly was lining up wrong. Then in September when Mims not playing became "a thing" the coaching staff told everyone he doesn't get playing time because he doesn't know what he's doing out there. Yesterday was a prime example. Down 10-3 late in the 2nd, first and 10 at the NO 24. Flag for illegal hands to the face...ok...that happens. Usually doesn't happen when a WR is running downfield on a pass route and if I recall correctly, I thought it was a little ticky tack on replay, but RIGHT after that flag he lined up incorrectly getting another flag for illegal formation. Basic basic stuff. I remember a game early in the season where the Jets were driving and Zach was forced to call a TO because Mims didn't know where he was supposed to line up. He's been doing this all season, it shouldn't be a surprise to everyone. I said this back in September. You can't put players on the field if they don't know what they're supposed to be doing out there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've earned it. I've honestly tried. The problem is that I have an intense hatred for every other team in the league. (Only a sports hatred, of course) I hate other teams so much that I spend my non-Jets fandom rooting for other teams to collapse and implode. Losing streaks, missing the playoffs, blown leads, coaches getting fired, etc. That's what I want to see from other teams. Misery loves company.
