I haven't posted in a while, but saw that Dallas Clark was released today and wondered if he would be a good fit for the Jets. Despite the ton of speculation out there, Mark Sanchez will most likely be our qb next year. In his three years as our starter his most reliable receiver has been Dustin Keller. My thought would be adding Dallas Clark and running more out of a two Tight End set, similar to the Pats, could be beneficial to his development. I know Clark has been injured over the past two years, but if he can stay healthy, he was one of the more productive TEs over the last few years (prior to his last two injury riddled seasons) and was a relatively good blocker. Any thoughts?
Like him at the right price. We do need another TE, as anyone who replaces Mulligan is an auto upgrade. He does have some downside though; a wrist injury has limited him the last 2 seasons and he is 33 years old.
My first thought is that the Jets might want to look into signing him as a stop gap and cutting Dustin Keller. Keller is in the last year of his contract and due a little over 3 million dollars this year making him the 8th highest paid player on the Jets. With so little room under the cap, I wonder if Tannenbaum is considering in the very least restructuring Keller's contract to keep him (since he is Mark's favorite option) at a better price now that there is a serviceable option like Clark is available.
Horrible horrible horrible idea. Clark is old, run down, and cant block. Not to mention he doesn't fit the Sparano build in any way shape or form. With the loose possibility that Miami cuts Fasano, most realistically if they enter the Peyton Sweeptakes (he clears up 4 million in cap room and isn't a peyton TE). He without a doubt becomes a must sign must pursue TE who can block very well, and is a decent #2 receiving TE. Clark is just shit though, stay the hell away from him at all costs And for giggles per rotoworld Maybe Miami can sign Clark to replace Fasano to lure Peyton down there. Clark to Miami !!
He's missed a lot of time the last two years and he is overvalued because he had manning throwing to him all these years. I would almost rather sign Jacob Tamme instead since I think he is a more solid blocker and would come cheaper.
Is it even realistic to sign any big-name players unless they want to come to the Jets for close to the minimum? If only players wanted to come to the Jets after last season's $#!+storm.
Mark Sanchez does not checkdown on the TE when hes in trouble he throws INTs or takes the sack. Keller had a beast of a year with Favre here, remember?
Do you remember? Cause I seem to remember him having less catches, yards and TDs with Favre then he did last year with Sanchez but lets not let facts get in the way of anything.
yeah those 3 TDs really prove his beastliness. Keller is what he has always been since his 1st year here, he is a beast one week and then invisible the next. He was not any more of a beast with Favre then he has been with Sanchez. In fact all his stats show the complete opposite of that, so clearly you are talking out of your ass right now. The one constant since Keller has been with the Jets has been Schotty, hopefully he is to blame for Kellers inconsistent play. To say Keller was a beast with Favre is just flat out wrong though.
I'm not sure if your trolling or just stupid. Most likely trolling becaue every fact of the matter proves you wrong. Keller set career highs in every statistical catagory last season except for Longest catch. So perhaps your a good troll, if not your a really horrible fan of the game.
Why would that be of any surprise with Holmes and Plax not running complete routes and basically giving up every play. Go watch film when Favre ran the offense and utilized the TE effectively. The longest catch also came from Kerley throwing the ball. Stupid would be defending the 2011 Jets offense. Learn the game before you criticize others its not all about the longest catch or the highlight plays.
There were more problems than just Sanchez though. Like you mentioned, WRs running shitty routes/no deep routes, obviously the OL, straying away from run game/no play-action. C'mon man.
How many of Mark's passes to Keller were rushed because of poor pass protection? How many passes bounced off Keller's hands? I know Sanchez threw behind him a few times when under pressure, but most of those should still be catches. Fix O-line + add deep threat = success.
