Top 51 FA's according to PFF

[jtnc]

Braylon Edwards is hardly a number 1 receiver. He has only had 1 1000 yard season in his career and while his yards per catch is pretty impressive, he only averages 3 or fewer catches per game the last 4 years. He had one great year in 2008 and a decent one last year. But certainly he has not shown the ability to take over a game or carry a team in years.

He still has made some spectacular catches and has major potential.

anyone who wouldn't be utterly thrilled if we signed braylon edwards is out of his/her mind

I also don't know why folks think Rice is so great either. He had 1 good year out of four in the league. He can't stay healthy and has never started all 16 games in his career. Take away the one great year in 2009 and in the other 3 years he has less than 1000 yards combined. He has not shown the ability to stay healthy or consistent. So far he is a one year wonder. I would surely not be breaking the bank for him or Edwards.

You don't bring in a receiver as your number 1 because he has made some great catches and has potential. You need a proven commodity and Edwards isn't that. Then again compared to Sydney Rice, Edwards looks like the face of consistency which is to say that Rice is a one year wonder.

Never said he was, he would be a great #2.

Who said Edwards would be the Number 1 receiver? He'd help smith not get triple teamed. I think he'd be a great complementary Solid #2, has a Potential to be a #1 after Smith leaves. Besides in NY he's a solid #2. Smith and Edwards 1 and 2 punch.

Bigger needs?! Other than DT, I believe WR is our next need. Followed by CB and QB.

Also Plethora? Ever hear the phrase "quality over quantity"? Holmes, Rice, Floyd, Edwards. Rice will be a bidding war, Holmes, bidding war. Floyd and Edwards. Not so much.

On Edwards...

He had the bad drops in 2008. He's recovered considerably from that in the last couple of years. Also he worked with coach Chudzinski. It's only natural that we'd go after him or Floyd.

Hasn't done shyt? Coming off a 7 TD season isn't "hasn't done shyt" material.... That's more than Gettis, LaFell and Smitty had COMBINED this past season... Come on dude... You're hating for no reason.

Ok so he had off field Issues, but hey Cam did. Hogan did. Smitty had his issues. That's a non-factor anymore, not for this regime. So if the panthers actually go after him and acquire his services, don't cry. ;)

Bidding war? Dude, he's not Sidney Rice or Santonio Holmes. The Jets will not get into a bidding war over Edwards when they have to lock in other players and can probably do without Edwards when they have Holmes. It's been said they will go with Holmes and let Edwards Walk. Sidney Rice is probably the coveted WR out there and he's the one season wonder as well. So if we're lucky we will get Braylon on the cheap.

Plaxico? Really, lets get a guy that's close to 40 and is on the decline..Nah.

Why u mad though?

And did u really just try to compare a WR that had a QB to several WR's that did NOT have a QB?

To those of you that have explained the game of football to me... Thanks!

I wouldn't know shyit without you guys (lmao)

WR is not our biggest need... Read my post and let it marinate before u try and explain the game to me. I'm pretty sure that nobody on here is gonna teach me a damn thing about the game of football... Not being a prick, I'm just not gonna have someone act like they know more about football and then try to explain it to me when my wife knows more about the game than you do.

And yeah, I'd still take Plax over Braylon. He's proven and a hell of a lot more consistent... Plus he'll play for peanuts for the love of the game and just for the opportunity. See Michael Vick in Philly...Braylon is a drama queen... No thanks.

By the way, it's okay to disagree. You're not going to change my mind so just let it be.

[Jangler]

Not really, he'd be possibly taking the place of somebody we really need.

[panthers55]

Never said he was, he would be a great #2.

We need a number 1 since Smith is ready to abdicate the throne by taking aback seat or asking to be traded. At this point the only legitimate number 1 who is available is Burress and he carries a ton of baggage of his own. If we are going to settle for a 2 ie 3 then I would rather take a lower ranked guy like Lance Moore or Steve breaston who will be number 2s but won't break the bank. If we are looking for someone who knows Chud's offense how about Malcolm Floyd?? Another relatively cheap guy who could contribute.

[TruCatzFan]

All this "knowing Chudz's offense" is making me sick!

You do realize that you're talking about the WR position right??

Let's see here... Route running, blocking assignments, catch the ball and try to score...

Not fuggin rocket science... Plug n play a WR

Now with all that said if we didpick up Braylon I would support it. Just wouldn't be my choice, that's all...

[Ivan The Awesome]

Why u mad though?

I'm not even mad. I'm just pointing out things you clearly missed in your ignorance.

And did u really just try to compare a WR that had a QB to several WR's that did NOT have a QB?

Mark Sanchez is better than Moore, Clausen, STP,Pike combined. But Derke freaking Anderson is a god right? I mean he's WAAAAAY better than sanchez. By the way if you can't connect the dots, Anderson was there when Edwards had that "one year wonder".. So if he had a better season with Anderson and the browns and then had an ok season with the jets.. Hmm? Hey look at it this way, Cam Newton will be throwing to him. Isn't he your idol or something? What's the problem then buddy?

To those of you that have explained the game of football to me... Thanks!

Whatever helps you sleep at night man, belittling others opinions is a pass time of yours. He'll you're borderline arrogant. Scratch that, you are totally arrogant.

WR is not our biggest need... Read my post and let it marinate before u try and explain the game to me. I'm pretty sure that nobody on here is gonna teach me a damn thing about the game of football... Not being a prick, I'm just not gonna have someone act like they know more about football and then try to explain it to me when my wife knows more about the game than you do.

Stay classy guy, bringing in your wife into this. I'll hold the wife jokes because I rather not get personal with people. WR is one of our needs. DT, WR, CB, QB. Those are the pressing needs..

And yeah, I'd still take Plax over Braylon. He's proven and a hell of a lot more consistent... Plus he'll play for peanuts for the love of the game and just for the opportunity. See Michael Vick in Philly...Braylon is a drama queen... No thanks.

This alone shows me how arrogant and Ignorant you truly are. When you say you're not trying to be something, that is exactly what you're trying to be in the first place. No one is questioning your football "knowledge". If the rebuttal made you insecure that you had to confront me with this response, hey more power to ya bro. I didn't know you had to have credentials for football. I would actually like to know what gives you this sense of superiority of football knowledge over others, what is it?

By the way, it's okay to disagree. You're not going to change my mind so just let it be.

I realize it. I truly disagree with you. I wasn't even trying to change your mind, I've read plenty of your posts to know when you believe in something you will stick by it. I was simply pointing out something you might have missed, like Edwards not being that much of a sir drops a lot anymore. I enjoy debating, with you it's not debating. But seriously, stay classy dude. Good god.

:rolleyes:

U mad?

[TruCatzFan]

Nope not mad at all... In fact I'm bout to go to sleep...

I made a small comment about once again "WR not our most pressing need" and u felt the need to point out why BE doesn't drop balls anymore...

Yep, I'm arrogant when it comes to knowing football... No need for me to apologize. It's obvious that I know a Lil bit about it...

I will stay classy... And I believe we just did indeed have a debate..

No need to continue these shenanigans with you though... Especially since u referenced another one year wonder... Derek Anderson....

P.S. Cam's not my idol... But it would be really nice if he could be one day through his play for this organization... I've also read your posts, I know u like getting in the last word... So go get it.

Just so u know I hold no grudge against you whatsoever. U have your opinion, and I have mine... My point to what started all of this was missed by you btw... Defense should be our Biggest priority after signing our FA's... If we have money after that and we pick up BRaylon after that I'm good with it... Just not my first choice.

G'night

Not quite true, and you could argue especially not true in a Coryell attack.

Receivers at the pro level need to be able to read defenses too. Not quite to the level that quarterbacks do, mind you, but enough to know whether they should alter their route or perhaps even stay in and block to pick up a blitzer. They also need to learn to recognize the tendencies of defensive backs that cover them so they can find ways to exploit them.

And truthfully "receiver" isn't just one position. Depending on the offensive attack, your spot might be known as flanker, split end, slot receiver, X, Y, Z or something else.

Yeah, once in a while you have an athletic freak like Randy Moss who can just outrun almost everybody. For the most part though, receiver at the pro level isn't as simple as just lining up and going long.
