We should have cut this guy - he is the most overrated player that the Jets have had in the last 5 years. I'd love to see some stats to prove me wrong but I have never seen a wide receiver of his "price" drop so many clutch passes. I'll admit he surprised me in 2015 when he was in our redzone but I think that was because we had Marshall as our WR1. In 2016 Decker was god awful. I can't believe he is going to be our WR1 in 2017.
lol wow... if you ask me he's our most valuable player. seriously. We only win games when he plays... in fact we only look like a decent offense when he plays. Think back to last year.. the eagles game he missed that Fitz threw 50 wild passes around.. compare that to the other games we had when Decker played last year.. yeah it's night and day. Ok lets look at our offense in week 1 and 2 in 2016... fairly good.. in fact we looked BEASTLY in week 2 vs the Bills... then week 3 decker got hurt.. 6 INT's, then after that he didn't play...and we didn't win.. and Fitz looked like the worst QB ever. yeah... Decker is more than meaningful for us... he's our MVP. point blank.
Resorting to the post count slam this early in your time here? The true sign of someone who has nothing worthy to say.
I feel Decker and Harris might be our two most importent players through this youth movement. They are the Yoda and Obi-Wan of each side of the ball. Both consumate pros and great roll models for what will hopefully be the nucleus of this teams future. If our young talent turns out to conduct themselves like Decker and Harris both on and off the field we are going to be just fine.
What an ass backwards thread. You can blame last year on a lot of things, but in my mind there was one key moment in which our offense fell apart: when Decker went down. Without Decker, there was no Marshall the year prior. Without Decker and Marshall, there was no Fitz. I think last year we saw those two statements proven true.
don't you have to be rated highly to be "overrated." ? Even if you just want to look at pay and not perception he's not highly rated. I mean Decker is making a little over $7 million per year. That's what Robert Woods is making. That's less than what Marvin Jones and Kenny Britt are making. is Decker significantly worse than any of those guys? Is he better? I would say he is better than them
I'd like to see Mangold back too. No successful rebuild is without some key veteran presence. If we had better young options at those positions, then maybe you make the switch now...but we don't.
Decker is a fine receiver WHEN he's on the field. With the contract he has, I'd say trade/cut and let the young'uns play.
Our offense went to total shit as soon as he got hurt. I think he's very valuable and should be kept assuming his health in order.
Decker is out trade chip. We are not winning this year and a contender should be willing to give up a draft pick or young player for him (this would be a win for both teams). We need to move Decker and keep our young guys like Richardson and Pryor unless we are selling high.
We do NOT need to keep Richardson. That's just nuts. He's a head case, a negative factor/influence in the locker room, wants too much money, and he shouldn't start over Williams or Mo.
what? decker was money on 3rd down. hell in 2015 i think he had the highest % of converted 3rd downs in the NFL. he had 80 catches 12 TDs and 1000+ yards. and he was consistent. he didn't have a couple of big games. he only passed 100 yards once with a 101 yard game in OT win against the giants. he was our most reliable WR
