The 5 most recent wide receivers to do it: AJ Green 2011 Colston 2006 Michael Clayton 2004 Boldin 2003 Randy Moss 1998 Only 16 rookie receivers did it in the history of the NFL according to pro football reference
How many potential top 10 teams are gonna need a WR? Hou? Jax? CLE? NYG? WAS? ATL? OAK? BUCS? MINN? BUF? Between those teams the only one that I can see taking a receiver is Oakland.
there are a ton of receivers that can go for 1000 yds if they have the right QB throwing to them - that's what the Jets have been missing for years (and years and years).
You don't need speed out of the slot. You really need quickness. Kerley is perfect out of the slot and should be signed tho a long term deal.
2008 surprises me w/ as much as Favre through. 2009: didn't get Braylon until game 5, had a rookie QB and didn't throw a lot 2010: didn't get Holmes until game 5 and we had a bunch of nice weapons to spread the ball around 2011: holmes was disappointing 2012: we had no one to throw to(on a consistent basis w/ injuries) 2013: see 2012 and add in rookie QB
Everyone loves sammy watkins. I don't see how he falls out of the top 5 honestly. He might even be a top 3 pick after the combine
So the last time they had a 1000 yard WR, was when they had an actual competent QB with a decent completion rate and QB rating. You don't say?
you know Kellen Clemens started 8 games that year, right? and Chad was playing banged up the other 8.
I think a lot of those teams could pass on WR's so even if we go 7-9 or 8-8 we'd be in a position to draft a good receiver.
Indeed. Chad was really good for the most part when he did play. Maybe really good is a bit over rating though, because I'm used to Sanchez standards.
Chad actually wasn't good at all, that was the worst extended action of his jets career. why must you bash Mark? he did something Chad couldn't do(and Chad is an all time favorite of mine).
MIKE EVANS MAN!!!!!,you need a receiver who can go up and out jump and out muscle a DB. Big time receivers make up deficiensie of a young QB. Even Cotchery bailed out Sanchez off the mark throws many many times.
