They would have lost more than 8 if it werent for Revis. Please keep the personal feelings for the man out of a factual discussion . Don 2008 TGG Rich Kotite "Least Knowledgeable" Award Winner
if the passrush develops, why do we need a truly great but clubhouse cancer like Mevis? The passrush makes good CBs look better then they are. Mevis looked ordinary against Stevie Johnson last year and he goes against him twice this year. I am counting on a Mevis holdup and Team Turmoil will suffer in the end. If the guy plays dirty by holding out we should trade the sob. He is not a team player. What have we won with him at CB? A great passrush will fix a lot of ills on our defense!
1) Writing "Mevis" makes you sound like an idiot. 2) So does highlighting the fact that Stevie Johnson beat him last year, when you can literally count the bad games that Revis has had in the past 3 seasons on one hand. 3) Really, of all players on the Jets, Revis is the one who you think is a cancer? Because he demanded a raise after having arguably the best season of any cornerback in football history? If he holds out again -- which I doubt he will -- then I'll listen to arguments about Revis being a lockerroom problem. Until then, it's a ridiculous line of attack.
The ability to take superstars like Megatron and Andre Johnson completely out of the game is infinitely more important than getting interceptions. Not even close.
so lets say we trade revis, what would you guys want? sometimes i think people forget that without revis our defense would be total ass as the defense wouldn't be able to blitz nearly as much as they do. with our shitty pass rusher, revis really helps. also i dont understand how you can say he is a cancer, you don't know exactly what happens in locker room. drew brees is holding out, are we calling him a cancer? no. there is no need to trade the best player at his position
Well this season we go against Mike Wallace, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald, so it's not like we never play elite receivers. Regardless of whether you think that Revis is overpaid, because of his contract we will never get anything close to fair value for him. So in my opinion, trading (easily) our best player for .25 cents on the dollar would be a stupid move. If he actually does hold out, which I maintain isn't going to happen due to the Jets cap situation, then we can talk about it.
Revis is a flat-out beast of a player. He shuts down his side of the field and takes pressure off of so many other facets. Jets need this guy. He is a special kind of talent. Future HOF level talent. He knows it. Jets need to figure out how to keep him and get him to show up for camp. You will never get any kind of return in a trade. It is a bit Diva of him to ask for another bump in pay 2 years into the new deal.
Please dont bring up Drew Breese (hes a QB and THE PILLAR of the N.O. community). What you are also foregting ios that trading Revi$ would garner us some additional talent, most likley on the Defensieve side of the ball. So your assumption that "our Defense would be ass with out Revis" is speculation.
Either way; we had our shot to trade hime before or during the draft. That ship has sailed and we will most likley have to re-visit this next off-season. Keep in mind, since I started this thread the media shit-storm surounding another possiable hold out has surfaced; with this we lose leverage. We should have pulled the trigger on a trade before the draft.
Revis puts a ton of pressure on everybody else in coverage. The idea that he somehow makes his teammates better is laughable. The only guy he makes better is the guy who would have to cover the #1 if he wasn't there. The Jets two biggest failures of the Revis era were when they couldn't cover anybody against Peyton Manning in the '09 AFC championship game and when they couldn't cover the slot guy against Roethlisberger at the end in '10, Revis didn't make anybody better in those situations. In fact, he was a non-factor in the plays which is why the Jets lost both games. He was a non-factor against the Patriot's TE's last year which is why the Jets lost both games. Darrelle Revis could never play another game for the Jets and the difference in actual wins would be negligible. As evidence for that statement, look at all the games the Jets played between 1997 and 2006. In a decade how many games did they lose because they couldn't cover the other team's #1 WR? I don't think you'd find many games there.
Thank you. A starting RT and Top 10 draft pick for Revis would satisfy our needs nicely. A diva who may holdout does not.
So many of you are Mevis apologists. Guy easily could diffuse the holdout talk. All he has to say is i'm not holding out, next question. But he doesn't do that... And you know why? Cause he's selfish and always has his contract on his mind. And while it doesn't favor him, it doesn't guarantee he doesnt' hold out again this year.... And if it did favor him, he'd be holding out already. Big team guy.
Certainly not because of the D. I think any fan knows that the defense was pretty good last year, and yes Revis DID win us games (cough Cowboys). The offense, particularly the line and lack of deep threat is why we lost 8, our defense was solid and kept opponents under 20 most games.
Revis deserves a big, incentive laced, contract. Holmes contract should have been incentive laced as well. Holmes contract is Tanny's biggest mistake.
Wayne Hunter at RT (cough) was why the Jets couldn't do anything until the 4th quarter anyway. You think Darrelle Revis big contract had anything to do with the Jets going cheap on Hunter at RT when Damien Woody left the building? You think that contract had anything to do with the Jets letting Dwight Lowery go for a song? The idea that Revis contract doesn't effect the talent the Jets can put on the field elsewhere is wrong. Yeah Sanchez is paid an awful lot for what he has produced but at least he's paid at a position that you have to pay at to win big. Revis is paid at a position where most of the big earners have to buy there way into the Super Bowl if they want to see it live.
so then I ask you (Revi$ appoplist). what incentieves would you give him in this contract to satisfy his lust for CASH? Interceptions? "No, teams dont throw at me." Games played? "I'm cool with that." I'm so fucking glad they frontloaded this contract and put hold out clauses in it for the "lean years". I bet he comes up with a phantom injury. See guys like Revi$ only look at the game as a business. 34 Million Gurenteed isnt enough; fuck 80 Million gurenteed wouldnt be enough for this type of person. I would argue we are better off as a franchise without him; hence the trade idea...
How did Revis win us that game anyway? Because Romo the choke artist threw the ball directly into his chest?
