nobody who has would say that about robby and nobody with any sense would trade away a teams best WR when we are really thin at the position and have a weak o-line. You might as well tell sam good luck out there with nobody to throw to and nobody to block and give him david carr syndrome.
yeah, the Jets haven't had a playmaker in so long. It's sad. People overrate Anderson because he's THE wide receiver here, not because he's a good wide receiver here. If we had anything like some of the guys in this league at the position, people here would look at Anderson very differently. perspective is needed
I keep hearing in here that Robby is overrated yet no one can answer who or how he is being overrated. He is the only threat the Jets have, he is the Jets best WR, he does put some fear into defenses. No one is making him out to be a pro bowl dominant WR. Those that just keep saying he is overrated just sound stupid.
I would really like to see a healthy Sam with Robbie, Herndon, crowder and Bell. That would potentially put a lot of pressure on a defense on levels of the field. I have been hoping to see this since we signed Crowder and Bell. I understand the desire to trade Robbie and just end the season but take away Anderson and our offense looks a lot worse. This season is still about Sam. I think Sam benefits by Robbie being here.
I basically agree with this post, and think it a good one. The only place I differ is possibly in whom I'd be willing to trade. Since this season was supposed to be all about Sam's development as a QB, imo one has to consider the question, "Would it hinder Sam's development to trade Anderson, even if Anderson isn't all that?" If you think it would, then you don't trade Anderson, unless he's asking for a ridiculous contract going forward. Even then, it may be better to just let Anderson walk as a FA next spring. No one's going to want to trade for Mosley with his contract, but if they did make a good offer, I'd probably take it if it would clear cap space. The Jets aren't going anywhere next year either, especially if Gase is still here. All Mosley and Bell will do is make things more respectable. A very good RB can be found in the 4th round or lower (and Montgomery could be brought back and another signed), and possibly a very good ILB can be found in the 3rd or 4th round, or I can live with Hewitt and Cashman for another season or two. If I'm Douglas at this point, I'm wondering if the Johnsons have me tied in with Gase and if Gase goes, I go too. If I think that is the case, I'm finding out what their thinking is in terms of wins and making the playoffs. I know the fanbase is ready to revolt, but if the Johnsons fully understand what horrible shape the roster is in and that it's going to take 2-3 years to get this team where it is truly competitive, then I'm trading anyone and everyone I can not named Darnold and Adams. I'm going to do everything I can to be able to bring in as many good young players here next offseason as I can. If the Johnsons are expecting to make the playoffs next season, and I'm going to be stuck with Gase, I keep Mosley and Bell and maybe Anderson too, and I start re-negotiating contracts of some of the players the Jets will keep kicking their contracts down the road to give me as much cap space for next season as possible. Normally, I wouldn't advocate that, but at that point Douglas would have to worry about his own job and career. If the Jets are able to win next year and make the playoffs, then I have time to deal with those contracts and bring in talent. If not, it won't be my worry anyway, it will be the next GM's problem.
Anderson - along with the other playmakers - would look a lot better with a big guy like Jeudy in the mix.
True, but he's decent and the Jets are already thin at WR. I say keep him to give the offense a chance to be competitive.
In addition, he helps to keep opposing defenses honest. Just the threat of his scoring on a long pass helps open up things on underneath routes and for the rushing attack. Earlier, someone mentioned Vyncint Smith. What's he done in the NFL? He doesn't scare anyone and won't help open things up. Anderson is a proven deep threat. If you trade him, you might as well trade Crowder, Herndon, Bell and Darnold too.
I’ve been against trading any weapons and adding all weapons to make sure Sam succeeds but if a team came calling and gave me a mid 3rd round pick Or earlier I wouldn’t be opposed. If it was lower than that, piss off.
yeah i was just replying to that tweet. that's on JD though not gase. he's the GM but at this point my name just makes more and more sense. i wish gase would stick to running the offense and the team and butt out of personel decisions. he's a horrible GM you think he would have learned that in miami
You don't think Gase speaks to Douglas and says "yeah I don't need him, trade him" ???? I think it would be odd for Douglas to rock up and say to Gase, traded Robby last night hope you don't mind. EDIT considering the Eagles wanted him last year, did Douglas have any say in that?
i'm sure he does but JD gets final say at the end of the day. with that said the source is manish who has been clickbaiting negative shit and often wrong so take it with a grain of salt. the other good point i've seen is Joe Douglas was the On the eagles last year and wanted to trade for Robby Anderson. Manish said earlier in the year how much Joe loved Robby on the team. If JD wanted him when he was with the eagles and was happy the jets had him, why would be move him now? I think it's a BS rumor and really the way it's worded "for the right price" is nonsense becuase any player is available for "the right price" I'm sure the packers would trade rodgers for 10 1st round picks and 5 pro bowl players. It's just not realistic. The only player I can see the jets actually trading before the deadline is leo. thankfully all this shit will be over in 5 days
source is manish. seems made up. I found the actual quote from gase when he was asked about the team trading "players" and not even specifically robby
Why do the Jets a team consistently void of talent always trade away whatever good players they have...I dont understand this philosphy of trading good players away when you lack talent..Especially when we miss on every draft pick anyway..If we trade Robby Anderson expect 3 -5 more years of losing football..It will set the tone
I’d argue the opposite, we don’t have enough talent on this team and if we can get a good pick or multiple picks for more players then all the better. Any players we have in their prime now will be 2-3 years closer to the end of their careers once we start getting good. I am also much more concerned about our bad offensive line for Sams development than taking away a receiver who honestly isn’t game changing. I really think his small frame is an injury concern and his skill set doesn’t lend itself to being a complete receiver. At best he’s a decent #2 receiver.
If a team has a need to stretch the field, Anderson is the guy they would prefer. While both Sanu and Anderson play WR, they are about as similar as Snacks and Donald at DT, which is why catch ratio was a bad comparison. If the Jets are going to trade Anderson, they need to find a team desperate enough to overpay like NE did.
