I will continue to support Revis and I do believe he's the CB in the league. HOWEVER, I wanted to beat him more than anything. Good game, bang bang, Jets 1-0
Yeah Jackson went off...but this game was the perfect example you do not tie up a decent percent of your cap to a CB..never should. Miss him? What fool wouldnt miss his play on the field..it was just nice seeing the millions of dollars playing against one receiver. Only problem is the Jets have not learned what the rest of the league learned is that you just play with the other guys and let him play on Revis Island alone. Good bye...move on....come next year that money will be spent on 3 or 4 good football players that impact EVERY play.
If we had Revis this game, the Bucs would never have even been in it. He'd have shut down Vincent Jackson, the only player who really did anything for them.
why even post something so obvious? Yes, Revis is better than a rookie cb. Thanks for your contribution
He wasn't trying to start anything. He was trying to knock the ball out of Wilson hand and when Wilson turn around and saw it was Revis he smiled at him. I think Revis was just messing around.
They would also be in cap hell for years, but by all means, keep moaning about how we didn't lock down Vincent Jackson.
I understand he's a rookie, he had a decent game except for some blips. It was obvious, but it's just a post
Not really. We have cap room in the future. This year is our only really tight year right now. We are going to have 40+ million in space next year according to overthecap.com. After 2014 you ask? Well, Antonio Cromartie comes off the books, and since Revis is a much better player than Cromartie I'd rather have let Cro walk and keep Revis at 16 than keep Cro at 12 and send Revis away. So really, you are talking about suffering through a 2014 season with both Cro and Revis carrying big contracts (a year when we have plenty of space to do so), and after that having a totally affordable CB corps. But hey, keep on with that Myth about how it was going to "destroy" our cap to keep him.
There are much more important positions on the field than CB as evidenced by todays game. We gave up a whopping 17 points with Jackson "KILLING US" all game. You don't pay a CB QB money with a salary cap. You just don't. Keep crying about Revis. It helps.
Exactly.. Revis was saying $16m/year, or trade me. When things are so unsettled on the offensive side of the ball, when you know that Mark Sanchez is not the long-term answer at QB, when you're in soft rebuild mode- you can't really afford to keep Revis and you have to take the draft picks and move ahead with your team. In 2014, we will have $40m in cap space, and about 11 draft picks, so whatever the Jets are able to accomplish this year (and of course I hope that involves the playoffs, but I know that that's a huge longshot) it'll be a jumping off point. It's also important to have depth, and paying Revis would make that harder. Next year we're going to be able to bring in 3 - 4 solid free agents with the money we're saving on Revis.
You pay elite players elite money, regardless of where they are on the field. Do you think the Vikings hate paying Adrian Peterson 14 million a year? Do the Lions hate paying Calvin Johnson 19 million a year? Anything wrong with DeMarcus Ware's 14 million a year? When JJ Watt gets his new contract at 18 or so million a year, will it ruin the Texans? No. You pay elite players elite money. CB is not an unimportant position, and when you have the greatest player in the game on your team at that position you pay him his hard earned cash. Antonio Cromartie is due to count 15 million against the cap in 2014. That's much more of an "overpay" than is Revis at 16 million.
The D did pretty much pitch a shutout. They allowed a 40-something yard drive, a 4 yard drive and a late field goal. THATS IT. All of Tampa's points sans the 3 at the end were earned with exceptional field position. I also don't think it's fair to say that had we kept Revis, the D would have been flawless because we wouldn't have had Richardson, who was a MONSTER today and was integral in making Doug Martin irrelevant for 90% of the game.
