Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards?

I know our philosophy is building through the draft and developing our players but we have occasionally made selective strikes in FA.

So, I ask, FIRST, is WR still a position that needs to be addressed with guys like LaFell, Gettis, and possibly AE emerging next year?

And second, if you feel it does still need to be addressed, do you think either of these guys would be a good option to bring in with Smitty?

Nothing against LaFell, I think he'll get better with time. But, if we brought in a guy like Holmes or Edwards, or drafted AJ Green (which I doubt happens), imagine having Smitty, one of these guys, and Gettis at WR. We could line up Smitty in the slot and let him work the zones like Welker, which I think would be ideal as he gets older.

First thing is first though, and we need a QB we know we can trust in the new offense.

I like this thread... It makes me happy. I'm smiling right now. Like seriously. Smiling.

:D

If I had too choose tho. I'd take Holmes over Edwards. I used to be a Braylon fan, but that's when I was hoping he'd be a star for the Browns and get them out of the poo hole. Now I don't really care for him. He's an over payed over hyped LaFell. Way too may drops by him.

Even tho Holmes has his "character issues" he's a fckin' baller. That's all I have to say.

I remember last year when Holmes was traded for a 5th everyone was saying he has "issues" and he is too much of a problem player for the Panthers.

lol

I wasn't one of those, lol.

I doubt the Jets let him go. I am iffy about Edwards, I think they'll do what they can to keep both of them. If I had my choice I'd take Santonio, and would've done so last year as well.

Edwards is an overrated diva that will never reach his full potential. Pass.

I'd take Holmes though, despite his issues with drops this past season. Unfortunately there is no chance the Jets will let him walk. They need all the play makers they can get to make Sanchez look like a competent quarterback.

I remember.. fans and this bullshit about being a perfect fuging citizen.. Holmes is clutch and a real threat..

i missed that

it was all over the board.. Holmes is too much of a concern, and all the Jets got was a real threat for a 5th round pick, LMAO...

I would take Holmes, you can't pass up clutch receivers.. Edwards is a real talent, but he worries me..

as for the thread, WR is not locked up by any means.. we have no real #1, and Smitty needs to be our #2.. Gettis and LaFell are #2 at best..

and don't give me the "no one to pass to him" bullshit excuse.. you don't wait until you find a QB to address the rest of the roster.. that's stupid, give it up.

LMAO... this is the retarded poo I'm talking about.. no offense, KP..

Holmes is clutch as hell, and lives for big game moments.. but hey, we can go for the meek and mild, and never win the big game... kind of like the Panthers have done in the past..

this character thing is a real winner! WR and Diva? nooooooooooo...

If we get Holmes i'll be happy to draft Fairley

fo shizzle.. I see a nice bidding war from the Jets side though..

I never said Holmes wasn't clutch. In fact, I said I wanted them to pursue Holmes if he was available.

I said Edwards was the overrated diva. Which he is.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
