Is a fucking beast and it amuses me when teams actually try and single cover this guy. 83 receptions, 1,062 receiving yards, 10 TDs, with four games left. Best Jets receiver since Wesley Walker? Al Toon? Don Maynard (who is clearly #1)?
I fucking love him. Yes, even with the drops and mental lapses. What a steal of a trade we made. A fifth round pick for that production with several years left on his contract? Unbelievable.
I just heard on ESPN.com that Brandon Marshall is the first WR in NFL history to have a 1,000 yard season with 4 different teams.
I feel like we haven't really had a guy who could completely bully opposing DB's on the field like Brandon Marshall does. Whoever was trying to cover him on the game tying touchdown was beaten like a red headed step child.
That's the thing. He's so physically imposing for all of these small corners and he has very underrated athleticism. He goes up and attacks the ball at its highest point on a consistent basis. He's basically Keyshawn with hops and better speed. Dude can just ball.
Yeah, absolutely one of the best trades we've ever made. He's had a great 2 weeks in a row.. Sure, he drops the ball, but today he didn't drop a single ball, IIRC.
Only complaint that I have is his desire to lateral. He was looking for the opportunity again today, thank God he pulled it back...
Please don't insult Marshall by comparing Keyshawn with him. Keyshawn wasn't nearly as physical and tough and he couldn't carry Marshall's jock.
