Not necessarily. If they franchise him with the intent of working out a long term deal it helps to create some leverage for JD. I'm not saying it's a good idea but it doesn't imply ineptness. It's another tool in the toolbox for negotiating. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I suppose if franchising is part of a longer term plan, then I guess inept isn't the right word, but then it would depend on how ,much they're going to pay him over the next few years. So, for example, if they give $18 million up front, and then another $30 million for an additional three years, that comes out to $48 million over 4 years, which is $12 million/year. That would be a fair deal. But I don't think that's going to happen.
I see franchising a bit differently in this case but I don't really think it's a bad decision. The Redskins doubled down on it twice with Kirk Cousins because they couldn't figure out what to do with him and didn't want to be stuck in the Matthew Stafford, Andy Dalton, etc. style QB hell. Good enough to not lose 10 games but bad enough to not win 10 every year. Not that if worked out for the Redskins but Cousins isn't exactly an all world QB himself. But I digress. Franchising him would show how much JD recognizes that we need to build the position group up before letting the best asset walk. It can be done in a season through the draft but we need another year of Anderson and not that much more after that. He's not a player I'd ideally invest in long term because he makes questionable off the field decisions and despite the fact that he's been incredibly durable, he looks like he's ready to snap in half during a strong wind storm. One year would be great, honestly.
Don’t tag him , if you love him set him free, let him go field offers , if he wants to be a jet he’ll give them a chance to match an offer. If I’m joe d I let the other teams do the work on this one
I'd feel like future actual star players the Jets had would use their move with Robby Anderson to justify demanding top dollar whenever they negotiated with the Jets. The Jets have never understood how the player movement system actually works. They've always acted as though paying what you need to pay right now, whatever that might be, to guarantee that you get or keep a piece you believe you need is a singular transaction that does not relate to all the other moves you are making and will make in the future. In fact each transaction is intimately related to many others made and unmade that happen in sequence over a period of years. Mo Wilkerson's disastrous contract interactions with the Jets were directly related to Darrelle Revis successful manipulation of the Jets over a period of years. The Jamal Adams negotiations will be impacted not only by the Revis chronology and what it implied about weak team management but also by the Jets moves around C.J. Mosely and LeVeon Bell. None of this happens in a vacuum. Note that every name above is on a plateau well above the one that Robby Anderson resides on. All we need to do is treat a decent player like a superstar and we'll discover exactly what that does to virtually every meaningful contract negotiation we have for the next half decade or more.
Wasn't Perriman's problems in the past (especially with the Ravens) due to his hands/ way too many drops?
yeah he couldn't catch a cold for a long time. It's a tough call cause he might still suck he just benefitted from all that volume in Tampa's wide open passing game
It was. I think when you slow yourself down you can focus on things like body control and hand catching though, rather than trying to break the land speed record and overrunning throws/not being in good position to catch the football.
The truth of the matter is very simple though. The good franchises like Pittsburgh know the true value of a team is in the trenches, and OLB position, that’s why a 1/3 of the salary is committed to the oline. Bad organizations like the jets would rather overspend on positions of lower value like they did for Bell and cheap out on the oline and draft DT with high draft picks. Unless Douglas changes this in the upcoming draft they will continue to be same old Jets.
Bell is a dual threat RB and was a valuable piece of the puzzle, they are running a business and part of any successful business is to try and keep your assets. I’m sure they wanted to keep the team together, they are a good organization after all. But it’s obvious that Bell was not the most important piece of the puzzle. If Ben is healthy they make the playoffs last year, their biggest challenge is finding the next FQB.
I disagree, I think the Steelers are a terrible organization, a mess. 20 years ago maybe you are right but look at this team right now, they are a Zoo! Our jets get a lot of shit but if it was as dysfunctional as it is in Pittsburgh right now we would never hear the end of it. So from that standpoint they benefit from favorable media coverage. It completely fell apart and melted down. Psycho Antonio Brown, Rapelisberger, losing Bell for nothing, in-fighting all over the place - They are rolling into next year with no hope. A fractured locker room, stale leadership, no 1st round pick, no Bell, no Brown, and an OBESE Rapelisberger who they hope can still play (he can't).
Nope I am not. That team is as broken as it gets. You see that recent clip of Rapelisberger "working out" by the way, yikes
They have six double digit win seasons over the past ten years and haven't had a losing season since 2003. They've won four division titles since 2010 and have a SB appearance in 2010. This might've been their worst season since 2003 and they went 8-8 with a rotational quarterback. I hope we can be that broken one day.
yeah, what happened in 2004 or 2010 or whatever doesn't apply to this team today. they are broken. You can believe what you want, but I see that the bookies have their win total set at 9 wins for some absurd reason. I'm hitting that under, HARD, and booking my vacation now.
I just referenced the past ten years. You're right. 2005 has nothing to do with now. They've made the playoffs three out of the last five seasons. Zero out of the past two, after the locker room cancers left and fucked up their entire offense. They've proven they retool their franchise as good as any in the NFL. In line with how the Ravens, Patriots, Seahawks, and Saints do it.
