So you would rather have one catch for 15 yards opposed to two catches for 7 yards - both resulting in 3rd down conversions?

Number of catches are certainly important, but so is ypc. Right now, Jarrett is not a down field threat. Kenny Moore is playing the role of Steve Smith, and that will mean more long throws to him. Thats a role Jarrett can't play at all. It means Kenny is going to have more YPC but also will miss more passes, because the longer ones are just harder to catch.

As far as who I would rather see start, I would prefer someone who can both stretch the field (Moore) and someone who has good hands (Jarrett). Unfortunately, neither one of them can do both. So maybe its irrelevant who starts. Maybe we bring in Moore when we want the potential for something down the field, and Jarrett when we need 5 yards. Or maybe we just run with Moore, Barnidge, Smith, and King and to give us a couple of short yardage threats, along with two or maybe three who can get down the field.

Saw that Smitty practiced fully today. I hope we see him some on Sat night. I want to take a look at Moore and the other WR's when a defense has to worry about Smitty on one side.

I don't know, I think I rather him sit and coach up the other scrubs when they come off the field. Too risky imo...

Here are the attempts/completions for the receivers through the first two games. Put the names with the numbers:

1. 2/9 22% completion

2. 4/7 57% completion

3. 1/6 16% completion

4. 2/8 25% completion

And the answer NONE is not allowed!

With those kind of numbers i refuse to start any of the.

f**k this thread, f**k those statistics, f**k all these fake ass #4 recievers fighting to be #2, f**k McDonalds, f**k Walmart, f**k Chicago, Idaho, Ohio, and all the other states in the midwest (especially Wisconsin). f**k their cheese, f**k dairy all together (makes me gassy), f**k Bin Laden, f**k you communist tree huggin' p.e.t.a. jerkoffs (animals are for eating), f**k Lebron James, f**k the NBA, f**k the MLB, f**k every sport that ain't football, f**k soccer twice for trying to be football, rugby's cool, but f**k their jerseys.

With that being said. LaFell will start. If not it will be Jarrett then LaFell.

Now please no more "Who's gonna be our #2" threads. Just hop into one of the 50 other before hitting the new thread button.

I should have been more specific. I meant start opposite Smith. After all, that's what all these games are about right now. Basically, I see it as a contest between Jarrett and LaFell and based just on the two games played, I would say Jarrett.

I don't know, if you only play him the 3rd game it will give him time to rest up from any bumps/nicks going into week 1. Smitty hasn't seen any contact in a long time.

      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.
