Ed Reed signs with Jets

Well looks like the should panthers sign threads should die now... Does this move improve the Jets enough to say their defense is as good as ours? they have a front 7 that is near level as ours and they now have a hall of fame safety, who is being reunited with a former teammate of 5 years and friend, Dawan Landry. They could prove to be a great tandem once again. I think this move puts them in the playoffs for sure.

How does signing a guy who's been benched several times by a struggling D and eventually released going to help a D?

 

However, no, I don't think he helps them much at all, if any.

Ed Reed is Ed Reed either way. Hall of Famer, he's going to make plays when it's needed. I would've said New England was a better fit for him though.

I didn't say they couldn't make the playoffs, but Old Man Reed won't be the reason they do. 

he can surely help the cause... this move is low risk with potential high reward for the jets, and if he doesn't play good then it doesn't hurt them they just go back to their original safety group. if they make it to playoffs I expect ed reed to be making plays like usual when it matters most.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
