Stafford-Johnson vs. Sanchez- ?????????

Well, Stafford has a luxury of having a guy like Johnson. He's probably pound for pound and overall the best talent at receiver in the league. Special player.

I will say that Sanchez was a lot more comfortable throwing to Braylon than throwing to Burress now. But the Jets wanted the bargain for a similar body type at the time. I'd love to get Edwards back.

 

Braylon isn't exactly lighting it up. I wanted him back too but he has 14 recs for 172 yds and no TDs all season(played 8 games)

 

Sanchez needs to bang three supermodels this week.

 

Yeah I knew his season has been ugly. I've seen people make this arguement in response to the "Never should have dumped Edwards" threads, but lets be honest, he's not putting up those ass-like numbers here after two solid seasons. It's clearly a bad fit for him in SF.

 

Johnson was a top five pick. The lions sucked. Theres a reason why we dont have someone like... recently, we dont draft this high, and if we did, it didnt really work out (we all know who) or we drafted or QB for the future.

Johnson is the best WR in the league. Of course we all want someone that is 6'5, can jump 45 inches and can run a 4.3 40 while still catching anything thrown at him. He is an elite talent. We have a shot at grabbing a good WR in this years draft, so there's hope, there's just so many other positions of need that it will be extremely hard to fill everyone with a good-great player.

 

Stafford would look worse than Mark if he was with us with this Oline, and OC. Plus Stafford is injury prone. He'd get killed behind our Oline.

 

In a perfect world I'd love him back w/ Plax next year so we'd have our deep threat, our RZ force and our WR that can take 5 yd passes and turn tem into 50

 

Stafford gets killed behind the Detroit OL. I don't think it'd be as much of a difference as you seem to think.

Alshon Jefferey, if you can keep him from eating his way out of the league.

 

Please don't put Braylon Edwards in the same hemisphere as Megatron

Braylon wasn't consistent for us either.

 

Are you really comparing Braylon Edwards to Calvin Johnson? And are you really implying that having Braylon would've won the game for us yesterday? And how, pray tell, would Sanchez have enough time to throw deep with our OLine blocking for him, even if Braylon Edwards was Calvin Fucking Johnson?

 

Does the OP realize that doesn't mean shit?

Stafford just tosses it up for a free for all jump ball and megaton comes down with it.

Totally different offenses.

 

How does one even compare Braylon Edwards to Calvin Johnson?

 

I don't think he was comparing Edwards to Johnson, just more complaining we don't have a deep threat like we had in Edwards.

 

This is true, but that deep threat doesn't technically need to be the #1 or #2. It just needs to be someone who has sick speed and good hands. Unfortunately, the Jets don't have someone who fits both of those criteria.

 

Braylon Edwards wanted more money than he was worth. Then, when we picked up a more cost effective equivalent, he proved the other reason we didn't sign him by starting shit in a bar and getting himself in more trouble than he's ever been in.

That is the ONLY reason that Frisco got him at that price.

Imagine what he would have done if we inked him to a huge deal? The guy is a dumbfuck. Tanny may be missing lately, but he made the right call not signing that twit.

 

Plax has made two of the greatest catches you will see all year but he's never open. He can't move the chains anymore. I know the Jet's have more than a couple of needs but, in my opinion, none is bigger than a wr with speed.

 

Mark Sanchez is the more talented quarterback and it's not even close. Stafford prolly doesn't even run plays and just chuck it up to megatron. Sanchez is a general out there

 

As a Pats fan, I remember the nineties, when every year all the New England fans would make excuses for Drew Bledsoe. You might recall that Patriots fans nearly mutinied when Bill Belichick selected Richard Seymour instead of David Terrell, because the prevailing view was that Bledsoe "needs more weapons."

Then the team let go of Curtis Martin in order to spend the money on Drew's buddies on the offensive line, yet Drew still took 100 sacks in two years between '99 and 2000. When that happened, the mantra around Boston was that Drew was a great leader because he "didn't throw his offensive line under the bus" despite their poor play.

Then Drew got hurt, Brady stepped in behind basically the same offensive line (plus rookie Matt Light), and won a Super Bowl. And we all realized that the problem wasn't that Drew needed more wide receivers, or a tight end to replace Ben Coates, or a left tackle to replace Bruce Armstrong. The problem was that Drew Bledsoe sucked. He held on to the ball too long, couldn't move in the pocket, was inaccurate, and made three to four inexplicable throws per game.

Jets fans are now behaving exactly the same way with their high-pick West Coast quarterback. After every bad game, the problem is Wayne Hunter, or Santonio Holmes, or Brian Schottenheimer.

Those guys aren't the problem. They don't help, but they're not the problem. The problem is that Mark Sanchez sucks. He isn't accurate, he makes dumb reads, he overthrows uncatchable balls on underneath routes that lead to costly picks, and he doesn't see defenders in his throwing lanes. He's a tough kid with a nice arm who shows up well in the fourth quarter, and those are great qualities, but he's basically a flawed player who'll probably end up a career backup.

Just FYI.

 

Not sure what the OPs gripe here is. Plax is akin to Calvin Johnson in the red zone, between the 20's they are completely different players. We knew we weren't getting Calvin fucking Johnson before we signed Plax.

You mad at the front office for not getting us a Calvin Johnson-type reciever? 30 other fan bases could say the same. He's probaby the #1 WR in the NFL.
