    Holmes only caught 52% of the passes thrown his way? Holy shit, that's a fucking staggering number.

    Maybin can be an every down linebacker IMO. I like his potential.

    I'm a big fan of Maybin as a pass rusher and think he came a long way in developing as a pass rusher this year. I think he's a long way away from being a 3 down linebacker.

    Conner had a much improved season last year, but the NFL is moving away from the fullback, so that's why not much is made of it. But did not realize only caught 52% of the balls thrown his way lol.

    Definitely feels like he gave up as the year went on.

    Disagree.

    Well not entirely - he's definitely developing and is a great pick up. However, being an every down guy means being able to play the rush. While he would be a big plus when going up again the McFadden type rushers as a spy, he would get knocked on his ass against straight ahead power runners.

    I do want to see him used more than 200 snaps though.

    It sounds like we do agree?

    Considering the amount of overthrows Sanchez threw him, this stat does not surprise me at all.

    Alright so a question on Maybin

    Do you think that it would be more favorable to us if he continues to significantly progress as a pass rusher, however remains a useless sack of garbage against the rush ?

    Mostly because it would make him significantly more affordable, and as we all know guys like Ware/Suggs/Williams demand monster loads of cash.

    And to be honest I cant think of many (see any) OLBs who are absolutely dominant against the pass yet are consistently sitting on the bench in rushing situations

    I think Maybin being the best player possible is in the best interest of the Jets. I would love for him to be able to stop the run but there is a lot of room for improvement in all parts of his game. If he can get better as a pass rusher and we get a pass rusher maybe Upshaw across from him then I would expect big things from him.

    Goes without saying that we need to better pressure quarterbacks.

    Sanchez deserves some of the blame here. Just because a pass is thrown his way doesn't mean it's catchable or well thrown or not chucked into triole coverage.

    Has PFF gotten to zero sum ratings yet or are they still eye of the beholder?
