Here's something else to think about...

5 years, 42.5 million, 20 mil guaranteed.

That was the contract given to none other than Pierre Garcon. You know, the same Garcon that like Decker was dismissed as a product of Manning. Unlike Decker though, he never had as much success with Manning as Decker did (Garcon never reached 1000 yards while playing with Peyton). And last year Garcon had a great year, putting up 100+ receptions and 1300) yards with a one legged RG3 (and Kirk Cousins). He proved that he wasn't a product of Manning.

I don't see any reason why Decker can't do the same. And he's not even getting paid as much as Pierre.

Good move for the Jets but with Garcon you could see the talent he had to be a number 1 and came up with big catches with Peyton...I just dont see that with Decker...if you play him physically he disappears like he did in the SB.

I'm not totally sold on Decker, but Seattle shut down everyone this year. He's obviously an upgrade to what the Jets had though.

I hear you on that. No doubt Garcon is a better receiver than Decker.

My point wasn't to compare them from a talent standpoint, my point was that you shouldn't write off Decker just because he played with Manning. Not every receiver that plays with Manning is a product of him. And I don't think Decker will be our #1 guy. He's just of of the few WRs the Jets plan to bring in to upgrade the position. I still think we'll sign another receiver and draft one as well. Decker can be a very good #2 option IMO

Here's my thing....when Geno got familiar with a very to below average receiver like David Nelson late in the season, he started making these
Type of completions.




I see him doing this with more frequency with a better receiver in Decker .


Ps....that second Geno throw.... :merchant:Not too many qbs can make that

I mean I like Geno and I think the team does too, they're just not saying it publicly. It lessens the media coverage and keeps him hungry. Geno with Kerley was a different player. I think Nelson got better late in the year too.

Hill is trash. He probably won't make the team.

I'm willing to give hill one more chance. He did play through a bad knee most of the season, because early on, he was straight beating people downfield.

Can't say enough about having a good slot guy like Kerely

Yeah this dude isn't Blair Walsh. Collie could play himself if it weren't for the concussions. As a receiver I think playing with Manning is an advantage when going to a new team. He makes you a better player with him and when you leave.

In Marty's system you have to run the horizontal routes...he looks like he's attempting to walk across a frozen pond across the field.

His problem is his dumb ass looking for lanes across the field rather than his qb. He got Geno killed.

One thing I really hated is people that think Geno locks onto one guy. I've seen him scan the field throughout the season

Yeah Geno has a bunch of bad habits but he doesn't lock onto guys nearly as bad as Sanchez did.
