If we decide to go big at CB or DL, Jacoby Jones would be an interesting pick. Both him and James Jones are somewhat inconsistent but when they play well, they play like true #1s imo. And Jacoby finished last year on a tear

I'm tellin' ya we'll find a solid addition from this group of wideouts regardless of the choice

Can't believe Sidney Rice is leading this poll.

He had one good year...when Favre had a monster year.

Outside of that he has underperformed in his career.

There is no other WR out there even close to Holmes.

Holmes.. not even close people.

No doubt Holmes is the most proven and talented as of now, but its interesting to see these other options because this WR UFA pool is pretty darn good compared to the past few years.

Gettis & LaFell probably aren't going to play much in the slot and the Pilares/Armanti situation is hard to predict, so maybe a smaller receiver is smarter. He's not even that short at 5-11 and is only 27. He makes a lot of damn sense. If we don't fork out the money though, its quite an evenly talented crop.

I personally voted for Breaston. If he didn't admit to the knee problem from 2009, he would no doubt be up there with Holmes imo. If he really produced that consistently with that knee issue (now resolved), he becomes incredibly enticing. Especially because the Cardinals aren't really listing him as priority and neither side seems very anxious. Could be a steal

Rice, when given good Qb play has shown the ability to play as high as a level as Holmes. In fact, Rice best season is better than Holmes best. Yes he had the benefit of playing with Farve but so has Holmes with Big Ben and for a longer time.

Switch their team and Id believe we'd see Rice enjoy success and Holmes struggle.

As far current career comparison, Holmes is ahead no question. But for future success picking Rice isnt crazy at all. At their best there on the same level.

"when given good qb play has shown the ability"

only 1 year is going to be a huge knock against that argument. the team would have to HOPE he could have a similar year again.

it's definitely possible.

ain't no one as clutch as Holmes though.. I'd take him 10 out of 10 times over anyone.

Rice and Holmes are both very talented. It depends what you want; speed and great route running but not always sure hands, then Holmes. Size, jumping, tough catches and blocking, you go with Rice. I live in NYC, so I have seen all the Jets games this past season, and I've seen Holmes drop some gimmies. He usually makes up for them though later in the game.

Holmes and Rice, then not even close.

There is few to go on. But I don't think it would be that big of stretch/ risk at all to sign him.

      That's likely going to tell the story. He'll have two weeks to prepare, so no excuses.

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield. This is just before Bryce is going to throw it.   You have 2 players off screen downfield, one player who ran a route that never had a chance to get open and didn't even get to the 1st down line, another player just at the line to gain but late in the route because of a chip (and the worst pass catcher of the 4). Do you really think that was a "good play call" in that situation?
