ptgrd7 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 On twitter Rich Cimini posted that the jets are most likely going to choose Santonio Holmes over Braylon Edwards. Obviously we have no idea yet but I dont know if I like this idea, I mean I would lvoe to keep them both in a perfect world, but our most reliable reciever has been Braylon all year long.

gsnts725 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 the way it looks right now, I'd rather keep Edwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I would rather keep Edwards also. He's a bigger, more physical target, a better blocker and I think a better team player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Good thread, I saw this mentioned and definitely is interesting. You can make a case either way. Braylon: Great size, good success here. Had the DUI and the baggage when he came but has been a good citizen or so it would seem. Santonio: Had the suspension for four weeks but has been solid since he got on the field. I see him being more of a veteran presence, tutoring others etc. Honestly maybe they just keep the one that they can get cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptgrd7 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ya Braylon is more of a number 1 receiver IMO. Santonio is a very exciting player and no doubt a play maker however I do not look at him like a number one guy with Jerricho Cotchery as a number 2. Id rather have Braylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Isn't Braylon a restricted free agent, thus it's beneficial to let him go and pick up some compensation in the meantime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'd rather keep Braylon...Santonio is inconsistent. #10 looks fairly consistent and explosive to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 #10 looks fairly consistent and explosive to me. No doubt he's made some huge plays for us. He's also fumbled a lot and dropped a touchdown pass against Miami, those 4 points we lost that way were the difference in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan1015 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Isn't Braylon a restricted free agent, thus it's beneficial to let him go and pick up some compensation in the meantime? Who knows what the new CBA will bring but under the old one a RFA is a player with 3 years of experience and a UFA is 4 or more. WIth Braylon having 6 years of experience at the end of the year, it is highly unlikely that he will be a RFA. No way the players will allow the owners to add on that many more years for UFA.

aec4 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Edward is more complete, and a more willing blocker in the run game. It's no coincidence that our run game has suffered a little when #10 took over for #89 at WR. #10 is much better than #89, but not in blocking.

SenorGato Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 If the offense is going more pass oriented and more varying in it's route next year in Sanchez Year 3, I'd think about signing Holmes over Edwards. As a WR he's a better and more varied route runner, while Edwards is big and physical but without the route running ability the truely elite WRs. That said, they're both wild and inconsistent enough to just say f*ck it, we'll take picks, and draft new WRs. It'd put more emphasis on Sanchez in the passing game, but that's why he, D'Brick, and Mangold got the big bucks, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'm in the minority apparently but I think Santonio is much better than Braylon this year minus the fact he was suspended games 1-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I love how people take Cimini's word on anything. Yes the guy is a respectable journalist, but he likes to spin his wheels, A LOT. There are reasons he and other reporters put things on Twitter, they don't have to be held accountable for it the same way if they put it in a paper or an online article. He has no cited sources, as usual. So either he is getting a bogus rumor or he is speculating. I am passionate about this because I just got my journalism degree and a lot of what he does is generally unethical. They aren't terrible, but to me they just resound of poor journalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 My take is very simple going gets tough Braylon disappears at times, and Santonio makes magic happen, so I for one will take Santonio, Braylons size and skill is tough to find, but so is Santonio's nack for the clutch.

flgreen Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 One of the main issues here is that Holmes is one toke away from a year’s vacation Edwards can beat up two more midgets before he gets a year off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 The question that has to be answered is, do either of them want to stay here? They're both receivers who are entering into their late twenties who have both shown they can be prolific players in the right system, with the right QB. If I'm either of those guys, and the money is the same, I'm going to go play for the Colts, the Pats, the Bucs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets have been to the play offs two years in a row. Promising young QB.Players coach, I think he jumps at the chance to play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Braylon has never been as consistent as Santonio. Its not even close at this point in their careers.

T0mShane Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 bwahahahhahahahahah But only if they get to play Seattle every week. Ah-HA! Check the stats, bro: Some rookie 4th rounder named Mike Williams: 61 catches, 924 yards, 10 TD's. Compare that to Braylon: 52 catches, 852 yards, 6 TD's. You think maybe Braylon or his agent might want to go someplace where he can put some better numbers on the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy probably lost us two games to make up for the two he won. Drops and fumbles. That doesn't fit in so well with the whole ground and pound philosophy.

DireJet38 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Mike Williams is a better WR than Braylon. You see some of the catches he makes? Unreal hand eye. Makes joshy look REAL good. Braylon would be lucky to snag half of the grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
