No way the Jets allow him to test free agency. If Douglas allows that to happen it's incompetence of the highest order. It will not happen. And if Robby is hell bent on hitting the open market that could be a sign that some team(s) are tampering with him.
Yeah, I said this before, but if I was Douglas I would go to Sam directly and ask if he wants Robby back. If he does, get it done. You are right, they have good chemistry and that should be calculated in the decision. Robby could be even better too with an improve O-line, Herndon back, and a capable #1 or #2 playing across from him. That is why it is a complicated decision. He could go the other way too and just be a deep threat who gets 4 big plays a year and that is it. Hard to know.
Just to put things in perspective, for the whole year, Anderson was #2 receiver on the Jets, behind Crowder, who outperformed Robbie this year and is the same age. Crowder had both more TDs and more yards. More receptions too. I know Robbie showed some potential with his speed, but at this point it is still just potential. Even if you take second half of the season where we went 6-2, and he did better, he is still just an 800 yard a season receiver. Can he do better next year? Maybe. But I don't think it is worth overpaying to find out. Robbie wants money, and more power to him, he should get the most he can get. However I would rather spend a little more and get a true # 1 receiver (or maybe get one in the draft in first round) with Crowder being #2.
Thank you. To be clear I don't want Cooper but this forum... We get so high on our guys here. A lot of our players would be role players on good teams but we act like they're stars. Guys like Lee, Williams, Wilkerson, Richardson haven't done much since leaving but we argued about them for years
Adams is the only player we have who's a star. Bell and Mosley used to be stars; Bell is no longer a star and maybe Mosley can get back to being one if he's healthy. We then have some starting-caliber players, and the rest are JAGs.
Jets should concentrate their efforts on landing Jeudy in the draft, instead of getting into a bidding war for Anderson's services. Jeudy is a significant upgrade from Anderson and should provide Darnold with a #1 WR he is in desperate need of.
So did you just completely miss Robby himself saying he’s not signing a contract before free agency and wants to be a free agent?
Jeudy is good But Lamb I think is better. Both are top notch. That said Higgins is better than Robbie... any of the 3 would be great and no need to trade up. One of them will be available. Them or Thomas or Wirfs in the first. Then in the 2nd there are more WR I think could be better than Robbie. Just bring in a vet in fa and a 1st or 2nd round wr.
Not claiming to be an expert, I am just a fan. You on the other hand may be completely full of dong. Let's see if your strong prediction of Robbie not hitting free agency comes true or showcase your incompetence.
I am just following your own logic. You said Douglas is not incompetent and he won't allow Robie to hit open market. If he does though, doesn't that make you way way off on this one? Incompetent is the word you used, given your extremely strong feeling on this, so there you go, let's find out.
They should have locked him up in a reasonable contract and not overpaid Enunwa. Unless they break the bank for Robby, I fully believe he is a goner. So we’re looking at starting the offseason with Crowder, an injured Enunwa, Vyncint Smith, Berrios, and Demarius Thomas as our receivers. Yuck. I assume we will sign another fringe starter and then that will push us into drafting one high over potentially that tackle we might need.
Yes I would be wrong. About Douglas' competence. In my eyes this is a no brainer you DO NOT under any circumstance allow this player to hit the open market. You re-sign him or you make sure if he is not here you get big compensation in return. It's not like they have another important player ready to hit the open market this upcoming offseason. There's no reason for them to lose this player or lose him without getting big compensation in return.
still pissed we didn’t hold onto demario Davis. I think he’s even better than mosely. Anyway I think we need to sign Anderson so we don’t need to draft a wr in the first round and can get a good OLman
It's not an either/or situation. Without Robbie, that leaves the Jets with a WR corps of Jeudy, Crowder, Vyncint Smith, Braxton Berrios, and zero depth unless Bellamy is re-signed. There are a lot of reasons to keep Robbie, not the least of which is we need as many good WRs as we can get to help Sam. A lineup with Jeudy, Crowder and Anderson could give opposing DCs nightmares. Both Jeudy and Anderson are very fast. They couldn't double both of them, or Crowder/Herndon would kill them underneath all day.
So, I don't know how to evaluate players and Douglas would be incompetent if he lets him hit market. I do concede I am a fan, not professional scout, but Douglas did help assemble championship roster in Philly. Has it occurred to you that perhaps YOU are not exactly a professional scout either and may be wrong about Anderson's value to the Jets, and others may be more competent than you?
