  1. 1. Whats more likely to happen among our young year 1-2 guys

    • CMC- goes combines 1,500 yards rushing and receiving
      62
    • Moore- 900 yards recieving
      25
    • Ian Thomas- 400 yards recieving
      7
    • Curtis Samuel- 1k combined yards
      3

I’m going to say Moore with 900 yards. It wasn’t that long ago that KB put up 1000 as a rookie.

I could definitely see CMC having 1500 yards from scrimmage but if I have to say which is more likely, I’m gonna say Moore with 900. I think CJ Anderson is going back to get a decent amount of work.

1500 for CMC is a pretty conservative bet imo. If there was anyone on the roster (other than Cam) that suffered from Shula's lack of match-up aware play calling and situation awareness, it was CMC. So many times he was matched up in the flat or on the outside against slower linebacker and just never got the ball. 100 combined yards should be this dude's floor each game unless the defense just overloads his side of the field.

I would choose 'none of the above', but if I have to pick one I'd go with CMC. Moore isn't likely to sniff 1k receiving unless he goes wild with yac and/or we have injuries. This isn't a pass happy offense and Funchess and Olsen should get most of the action. Dickson only got 400+ yards once (last year) and that was mostly due to that one game where he had a career day, and Olsen getting hurt, so no way the rookie collects 400. I don't see Samuel getting enough return yardage to bust 1k. I'll be thrilled if he can just have a decent rookie season and not get hurt. And yes he's a rookie as far as I'm concerned.

When u think about even though it sounds like a lot but your break down makes me think you're so dam right. 100 a game fifty rushing fifty catching should be a normal day based off what he can do. I'm claiming it with our great offense minded coach

    • 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.
