Juilo is right up there when healthy. However, I'd like to see how he recovers from his foot injury , before I put him in that elite class. In my opinion Rody White is tier below those elite receiver, but I think he recently signed an extension, I may be wrong though. But I'm hoping we can get an expolisve shifty receiver as well; it'd be perfect for MM's system. Lets just hope he can actually catch a football this time, because we all, I believe, have terrible memories of that last second round WR, who was taken
I didn't realize it was a foot injury, sorry about that. But I still need to see him play at a high level in the regular season, before he makes the leap to elite status.
Then why are you still here? on-topic: if Eric Decker wasn't signed then exactly what trio of receivers would the Jets have trotted out there? ….Nelson, Kerley and who? (not including Amaro, a TE) And this prized trio for a 2nd year QB?
You have to be freakin' kidding me. A thread with your posts in it and a civilized conversation are complete oxymorons. You are the king of thread hijackers. Half of the posts in this thread are your statements about how much Decker stinks, how he won't produce and how the Jets overpaid. And they are all made in a definitive, antagonistic, know it all manner. We all need to put you on ignore because this board is unbearable when you enter a thread with your ignorant BS. All I had to read was your comparison of Nicks and Decker to know how little you know.
So now I am a troll because you disagree with MY OPINION? I think signing Decker for the price we paid him was a mistake, you are the troll for accusing me of being the troll. I have a right to my own opinion. It isnt "trolling", its MY OPINION.
So its ignorant BS because you dont agree with it? Its my opinion, so you dont have any respect toward it. Ill ignore you, problem solved.
This anti Decker poster must be Mark Schlereth in disguise lol. At 36 mil with 15 million guaranteed, I don't think tightwad Idzik did not do a thorough study of Becker as a long term investment for Jets despite having a shitty set of advisors. FTR Idzik's FA signings (not draft)have been very good eg CJ Vick Babin etc. and carefully thought out. Forget what you and I think....Idzik NEEDS a guy like Decker to have his plan for Geno to work. Geno just isn't constructed to be anything but a short ydg.to medium rage passer and the entire offense is constructed to his benefit. If WR was that necessary for the Jets then the Jets would have spent more money all round.
Their acquisitions have nothing to do with Geno's throwing range, and you thinking he's short to intermediate is about the stinkiest turd I have read in a while. It has everything to do with them building the foundation for an efficient WCO - excellent route runners with great sense for timing and very good hands in traffic. The pickup of CJ enhances that concept, and the 3 young TEs we have will be a crutch for the OC to lean on until next season when they attempt to find a couple of deep options. I read your posts and realize that you are only here to anger people with your posts, but you need to understand football better if you want to be successful doing it. Think of that as your John Idzik Long Term Plan of Trolling.
Yeah Geno can only throw short to medium distant passes. It's not like he was 7th in terms of completion percentage of 20+ yards.
and its not like Eric Decker didn't haul in 19 catches beyond 20 yards either. Man this team is just SO bound for begin a short range dink and dunk offense, theres NOBODY to support the deep passing game!
You are a troll because you are saying things that are factually wrong and moving along like they are true. You don't acknowledge when you're proven wrong and lack the ability to logically respond the few times you actually do. People prove you wrong, you either don't answer or deflect. And if you haven't noticed, every single person in this thread thinks you're being an idiot, so it's not just me.
Between soxxx and now the guy who says Geno can only throw short, I wonder if some people here have a different version of the internet than the rest of us. I mean, a simple Google search would tell you that what you are about to say is wrong.
Bingo bud...you nailed it. Nailed it nailed it. Most receivers are a victim/rewarded by the strength of their qb. Wes Welker will be buried on top of Manning and below Brady. The list of talented SULKING receivers in the NFL bitching about not getting the ball has always revolved around a struggling or shitty qb. I have no friggin clue what Decker will do here....but if you look at the numbers he put up with TIM TEBOW at qb? For all the bitchers...you would have been killing Idzik if he went into this season with Stephen Hill wide left and Nelson wide right. If you want to bitch about Idzik..go into the cornerback thread...this is a waste of time.
If you are one of the people that whine about Idzik not overpaying for DRC or not making a stupid impulse move by resigning Revis, there is no way you can complain about the Decker signing. DRC is FAR more overpaid than Decker (who I don't think is overpaid at all really). You can't say that we should have just tossed money around to fill the hole at CB with someone that isn't all that good then turn around and bitch about filling the WR hole with someone that IS good for less money.
