Best Player Available Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 he has the ability and skills to be the first offensive superstar the team has had for years.

Don't say that- everyone wants to hear how we got screwed....
YoloinOhio Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 He is who we thought he is but we won't let him off the hook!
Kirby Jackson Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 He is who we thought he is All joking aside this kind of sums it up best. We drafted a guy that is supposed to be the best skill player in the last 4 years and so far he looks the part.
YoloinOhio Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I have a relative who is a FO executive for another NFL team. He was pretty straightforward that he thought it was a lot to give up for a WR and he did not think he would have done it with his team. However - he said in this case, he didn't think it was necessarily an extremely risky move for this team because they have so much young talent and very few holes/needs. It was a unique situation and the timing of the trade made sense, he could not see many teams being able to do the same. He did not think the loss of the 1st rounder next year would have much, if any, negative impact because even if they did take a QB in the 1st round next year, again they would be starting over with a rookie and it is rare for that to result in taking steps forward vs. backward. Any other position you can get in FA. Also - he was impressed that they were able to keep their picks this year and only gave up picks next year, which is going to be a weaker draft. Food for thought. Edited July 24, 2014 by YoloinOhio
kickedface Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 i'm still playing wait and see. doing well in training camp is one thing, but i want to see what happens when the season starts. ej still has to get him the ball, or some qb on the roster does. wr's are only good when they get the ball thrown to them.

Very true. He had a QB in college who was far from polished IMO. So he is used to that, at least.
CountryCletus Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Very true. He had a QB in college who was far from polished IMO. So he is used to that, at least. Very true!! I also feel that EJ is far ahead of Boyd as far as skills are concerned
Tyrod's Tailor Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Very true!! I also feel that EJ is far ahead of Boyd as far as skills are concerned Boyd was really bad. If you watch the Orange Bowl some of his throws are just shocking.
FluffHead Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Boyd was good enough to be drafted. I agree he is a terrible NFL prospect but he was far from a bad college QB

Similar strengths and weaknesses, but EJ's strengths are more pronounced and his weaknesses less pronounced. Boyd was good enough to be drafted. I agree he is a terrible NFL prospect but he was far from a bad college QB He did some things well. He wasn't "bad" but he made a lot of poor decisions on the field, even as a senior.
CountryCletus Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Boyd was good enough to be drafted. I agree he is a terrible NFL prospect but he was far from a bad college QB He has a huge arm- don't even remember where he was drafted to, but I don't think he will be 1/2 the QB EJ is/turns out to be... I am not one who thinks EJ will be great, I not do I think he's a bum

I am not one who thinks EJ will be great, I not do I think he's a bum The Jets took him in the 6th, I believe. He has the intangibles, but he is a project in the NFL. EJ is a project as well, but he has more upside. IMO.
