You are going to be cursing him out in week 5 when he drops a TD pass. And when he registers 2 catches for 17 yards against Revis twice a year. I'm a Jet fan who wants the best for the team. I'm not going to apologize for calling it as I see it.
If they use him as a #2 or slot receiver, he will be a difference maker in the WR corps. But if he's used as a #1 he won't be.
I hope he is as good as advertised and I'm excited about the signing. i understand some of your skepticism. Guys that become dominant wr when playing with an Elite qb make me nervous also.
I somewhat agree with the first part in that he is not a #1, though he's probably paid like one now. Drops is one of the last things we will have to worry with Decker. At the top list should be expectations. I just don't see him coming anywhere close to the production he's had in the past couple of years or what some Jets fans are going to expect. On the Jets, he's going to get a lot more attention from defenses than he's had in the past.
Outstanding . People that think he is not a difference maker are clueless. Not a bad deal all considered. He was the best available choice for us....and we are not done.
So you would prefer another season of #4 receivers? Or draft another Stephen Hill and proclaim him the #1?
Its a no brainer to have Decker for 5 years and Richardson for who knows how long than to have Revis for last year and this year at $28 million
