Jarius Wright will be like a younger Cotchery

Come on dude.  Who is expecting this guy to be a #1 receiver and wtf does it matter what JCo did at the Jets six years before he came home?  The point is, Wright is a player who fills the role that Cotchery did on THIS team in 2015.  That's what we were going for.  This is who we got.  End of story.

 

Well considering that Cotchery got 485 yards and three TDs, perhaps you're absolutely right. That's not too high of a bar.

You're looking at the wrong stats if you want to quantify JCo's impact.  He's a possession receiver, who's value is in clutch catches and 3rd down conversions.  It's not a sexy job, but I think many here are undervaluing the role of a chain mover / possession receiver, ESPECIALLY on an offense that wants to dominate TOP.

There were and are greater possession guys. Let's not blow J-Co up either.

There might be, but this guy gets open and catches a high % of footballs thrown his way... and we signed him on the cheap, which is what we needed given our cap problems and other areas of need.

It still blows my mind that this signing drew the ire of the fans, but they were totally cool with signing Torrey Smith.  Mindblowing stuff.

This signing did not draw any ire that I'm seeing. That's much too strong of a word. If there is any "ire," it's because of trying to make receivers into much more than they are. That's the point. Bottom line is that we need better receivers (or for Samuel to get healthy and play up to expectations) if we expect to make a genuine push toward a championship. Anyone that doesn't know that and continues to espouse otherwise is simply blowing sunshine up our collective asses.

You fuging idiot.. WE ARE NOT GETTING A NUMBER 1 WR this year.. The Bench mark is now putting a WR Corp together with skill sets that fits the new OC's plan. If having a high catch rate and getting open isn't a need than you need to stop watching football. IF you can't understand that than take the season off and follow another team... You Don't understand the plan or why the situation is the way it is fine... But to bitch over poo you have no clue about makes you a moron...

Oh and Ginn was considered a bust no matter what production you thought was adequate.. He was the 9th pick in a draft so 1 year of production doesn't mean you weren't bitching 4 years ago when we brought him here and were wrong...

Nobody is saying to get a number 1 dipchit, but there are way better proven receivers still out there better than Wright.

 

If Wright was always open he would have been starting by now, and would have been a high commodity in free agency. Stop inventing garbage to fit your fake narrative.

 

Ginn is a bust that’s why I laugh when you used him as a measuring stick for free agent receivers, and even as a bust he was able to put produce Wright. Unlike you and the hoard of mouth breathers on here I know when a player will make an impact so I don’t get excited for no name unwanted receivers with no use

So who can we get that will take 1.5 mil a year.. 

Don't worry I'll wait.. 

Also making generalization out of somebody else statement is a a-hole move as well.. 

Not one time did anybody in here say he always gets open..

Considering we still have interest in Hurns I’m sure we are willing to fork over more than that.

 

I’d rather pay 4 to 5 mill for Wallace and Maclin than pay 1.5 for a waste of roster spot

Wallace isn't signing for less than 7mil  .. Maclin is a injury risk and Hurns has 10 other teams with more money after him so he  won't be here... 

Plus a major quality you negate to underrstand...

Your new OC has worked with this guy and wanted this guy for his system.. Which one of the others has that??

Are you Wallace’s agent? How the *** do you know what he’s asking for? 

And Wallace knows Turners system and actually produced in his system. And learning Turners systems isn’t Chinese trigonometry, a proven veteran like Maclin could pick it up in a heartbeat.

I Don't have to be his agent to know the fuging market is giving less than WRs that type of money.. Not to mention dumbass you're not his agent either so your 4 to 5mil isn't set in stone moron..

Again You're to dumb to realize this is the guy Norv pick personally.. It doesn't take Neil Degrasse Tyson to see what happen here.. Guy gets released and 2 days later he is here..  Wallace has been on the market since  day 1.. Norv wanted Wright.. Norv doesn't want Wallace.. Wallace  does the same things Smith does.. We already have Smith.. Wright is a different type WR.. Norv wanted that type of WR.. 

Get it..

Norv is the GM now? LOL How do you know Norv didn't want Wallace and our dumb team turned him down. Apparently your a agent and have inside information into the panthers organization.

 

Wright was the prototypical panthers pick up, a unwanted no name unproductive WR that people in the board hype up and when the regular season they continue to be unproductive. And at the end of every season I get to say I told you so.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
