I really don't understand the infatuation with Braylon Edwards. He has regressed at a rapid pace since 2010 and is not a quality option. I think the Jets have a better WR prospect in Ryan Spadola then Edwards.
Not sure if many have seen, but Kenny Britt posted about his time in Tennessee coming to an end on Twitter. If Im the Jets I am calling the Titans up and offering a late rounder pick for him right now. Britt is kind of a head case, but he is very talented and the Titans have the depth at WR and are probably looking to move on. He most definitely can catch and he would help Geno tremendously. This is the type of move this team needs in order to help our rookie QB who is not surrounded by any playmakers.
Id easily give up a 5th round for Britt. It could be something like a Santonio Holmes trade where the Titans are looking to just get rid of him- plus he's a FA this year so they would get something in return. We drafted Oday fucking Aboushi in the fifth round. Late round picks likely turn out to be nothing, and if spending a 5th round pick helps our QB develop, I am all for it. Plus, if Britt stays healthy and out of trouble, he has the talent to be a legitimate #1 WR. Oh well, its a pipe dream. If only...
You meen the Great receiver in the Preseason who then shits the bed in a Big game and drops a pass? I'd rather have Braylon droppin passes...lol
Kenny Britt is made of glass, a headache and a team cancer. We already have Holmes to be that malcontent WR. Maybe a fresh scenery would change it, but his attitude is so horrible I doubt it does. To add, I think that injury he had last year really slowed him down, he hasn't been the same player. I doubt he can carry the load of being a #1 WR.
I'd rather use that draft pick to add depth to the team at another position. If we're gonna bring in a receiver it has to be someone we drafted in round 1.
I never thought I would say this a month ago, but I really believe we are a couple offensive weapons away from being a legitimate playoff contender. I wouldn't mind trading a 3rd or 4th rounder to get someone in her now to help out Geno. Who? I have no idea. But the lack of weapons could really stunt his growth, where as a new target could help him tremendously
Just bring in Braylon and call it a day. He's not the fastest guy but he can CATCH THE DAMN BALL. that's all that matters. He can mentor Geno and Hill, and next year we can draft a WR in the first round.
Sign Britt to an incentive laden, prove it contract in the offseason. The potential is there. Don't waste a draft pick on the guy.
But he can't get open anymore. There is a reason he was cut --->>> speed. Who gives a shit if you can catch if you can't get open.
The objective of the receiver is to catch the ball. Plus Braylon DID get separation in preseason games so that's a myth.
This x1000. Our fans are delusional. The same player on our team and another team are looked at completely different. Braylon Edwards stinks at this point in his career. Decent injury replacement but he has no business being on our roster.
I recall Braylon being the poster child for dropped passes when he was here, so saying he is the answer to the problem of our WRs having the dropsies is just a bit ironic. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=53055&highlight=braylon+drops And if he was gaining separation in preseason, it was likely against 2nd and 3rd stringers. I trust what the CS saw in TC and practice a lot more than what happened in a preseason game.
He's improved and he can teach Hill how to overcome the drops. The only reason Braylon isn't on the team is because he was hurt and wasn't practicing very much. If Braylon gets no credit for getting separation against 2nd stringers yet most Jets fans are pining over Simms after he shredded 2nd and 3rd stringers and Spadola for ripping up those very same players.
