Viermoo Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Of all the receivers on the Jets roster Denzel Mims has been the most disappointing. After a solid rookie year Mims dropped off the face of the Earth. Whether it be from dropped passes or not being able to absorb the playbook, Mims was either benched most of the year or had almost no impact. If he wants to salvage his career now would be the ideal time to do so. He’s got the size and the speed. He just needs the commitment and confidence to know he’s worthy to play in this league.

Popular Post BigRy56 Posted March 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2023 I do feel like Mims is the kind of receiver that Rodgers has had success with throughout his career. Hopefully Mims shows up when his moment comes this season. We’ll see 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dunnie Posted March 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Denzel Mims has the prototypical traits of a dominant wideout. I think his biggest issue is that he is a body catcher. The guy just hasn't put it together at the pro level. Seems like a good dude. But I'd be surprised if he lasts through 2024.

Because he is untradeable? Moore>Mims. Easier to move. Funny, using the draft pick value chart, the move from 74 to 42 has a trade chart value of +260 points. The equivalent of pick 66, an early round 3 pick. Strange. It sure doesn't feel like that value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 New O coaching staff, including new WR coach. Mims obviously wasn’t liked by the previous O staff. Last yr of his contract. Let’s see what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Mims looked good as a rookie + he’s not afraid to block. I think he can be a good WR with the right offensive staff. Hopefully that’s with us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a trade is one thing when your not reaching your potential in the current system but allegedly cursing out your coach publicly saw the writing on the wall even with Lefluer gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’ll be surprised if he is in this team by week 1. Sloppy route runner/mistake prone overall. Not the kind of guy Rodgers wants to deal with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge difference between a guy looking to play, not buried on a depth chart, and a guy who threw a tantrum because he wasnt getting the looks and his teammate(s) under the bus while he was at it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Mim’s tape the last couple years has NOT been good, moving from brutal 2 years ago to a huge pile of meh last year. Poor route running, difficulty converting speed (slow stop start, lack of deception), brain farts, bad hands. The key question on him is has he been used the right way? I have no confidence that MiLF used anyone the right way so I do believe there is an opening to evaluate Mims further rather than trading him at his low. Especially with a guy like Rodgers who can throw deep, on time and to the back shoulder. What could be his role, since he has some size/strength/speed to work with? As a starter, it should not be focused on quickness or route running. But how about? 1. Deep balls (go, post, jump balls, Hail Mary) 2. Slant 3. Fade (+ back shoulder) 4. Blocking —————————————————- Let him prove he can do it in preseason games, thereby giving the team an opportunity to keep him in such a role or trade him for a much better pick if you already have someone better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 We as Jets fans, more than any other fan base I think, have this strange tendency to overrate our players. I mean they REALLY have to suck bad before we give up on them (hello Zach) We did it with Berrios which got him a nice fat payday for a year in NJ. Elijah Moore, is another guy who we all who watched the tapes of him running up and down the field wide open and always unseen by the piece of crap worst QB we ever drafted so high. We thought all he needs is someone who can get him the ball and he'll be good.Wait until he plays with ARod... Now as far as Denzel Mims goes what Clay said above me here is quite true-he isn't a great go-up-and-get-em type of receiver but he can catch them if they are thrown within reason his way. Also, the guy can lay some wood on those DBs. I hold out hope that he can still be a productive pass catcher IF...IF, he stays on the Jets. I saw him make some big plays when Flacco was throwing him the ball in his rookie season. I hope he stays a Jet so I can see if he can be a good Lets player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSteve Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 6 hours ago, Warfish said: Suck at WR? We disagree on that. The guy wasn't as bad as everyone made him to be. Did he drop balls? Yes. I can also remember at least 6 passes Zach Wilson overthrew a jumping 6'3" receiver on a 10-yard route. I also remember the key block he made for Hall's TD run against Denver on about his 6th play in the game. If Rogers is here, Mims will contribute. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about using Mims in the Red Zone on a fade since he does high point the ball and on go route where he also showed the ability as a rookie to get contested catches instead of having Berrios who sometime lined up on the outside in some instances down there.....Mims has never been used to his strengths because they wanted him to be the guy who played every WR position as a ####### rookie....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bitonti Posted March 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2023 I know I'm like the most negative guy in Jets land these days and I bashed Denzel Mims alot at first but hear me out - Denzel Mims is actually getting better The same QB dysfunction that makes 2022 Moore a tough evaluation also makes 2022 Mims hard to judge. not saying the dude will be Randy Moss, but he's a size/speed prospect who can make contested catches over the middle for first downs and catch fade routes in EZ, at least in theory. People talk about luck with injuries. for Mims, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. But his trend line was pointed up by the season's end. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mims did it professionally by having his agent reach out about it. Moore is a nozzle who made fake social media accounts talking sh*t to the org and liking anything about Elijah Moore. Moore also did it when we were winning. When Mims was asked about it he said he just wanted to play ball and contribute and even said he was happy to be part of a winner. Moore sucks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
