Braylon Edwards traded to Jets

[Dubious1]

I cant say whether or not this is a good trade for one side, right now Ill say it is an even trade.

Braylon Edwards deep threat? Cant be a deep threat while dropping balls in the open, can you?
Chansi Stuckey is going to be a very good receiver...one day! He has alot of time to develop and what better team to do it on then with a team that is not doing so well, no pressure to make those spectacular plays!

I think this all depends on Edwards hands, if he catches then it was a good deal for the Jets. If not then it goes to the Browns.

 

[getyappcrnredy24]

Yeah, Marky and Bray Bray gon' tear this <Censored> up

 

[elcheato]

Randy Moss a year before he got traded to the Pats and got 98 catches for 1500 yards:
13 games, 13 games started, 42 receptions, 553 yards, 13.2 Avg, 51 Long, 3 TD

Braylon Edwards 2008:
16 games, 16 games started, 55 receptions, 873 yards, 15.9 Avg, 70 Long, 3 TD


I'm not trying to say he's gonna have a Randy Moss 07 Season, all I'm saying is that his 08 numbers don't mean <Censored>.

Moss also didn't start his career in Oakland, and had multiple great seasons before then. Braylon has had one good season.

This is also only Braylon's 5th season in the NFL and has never had a descent quarterback.

lol Braylon got a QB benched because he can't catch.. Anderson threw a perfect bomb to Edwards last season that would have won the game, but he dropped it. He dropped a perfect pass right over his shoulder which would have been a TD. 25 dropped passes last year says more about the WR then the QB.. And just last week, Edwards dropped a WIDE OPEN pass, right to him for a first down with no one near him, then Anderson found a rookie WR 8 times for 148 yards, Braylon was without a catch.. Take your homer glasses off, Edwards is trash.

 

[footballplaya52]

edwards makes more circus catches than easy catches :/

 

[yezzir]

Let's not get it twisted right now. Braylon's not the one who was constantly fighting for a starting position, that was Anderson. And isn't there another elite WR that drops the ball a lot because he doesn't wanna be on the team? Oh yeah, that's Terrell Owens. But he's just a scrub too right?

I'm sure it was the Quarterbacks fault that Braylon dropped over 20 passes... Yea, but there is a difference, Edwards led the league in drops BY FAR. He said Browns fans hate him because he went to Michigan.. He is a fool, he has no discipline, he got into a fight with a kid at a night club who is half his size.. He had one good season in his career, that's all.

 

[footballplaya52]

anderson shouldnt have been fighting for the starting job. he was a pro bowl QB

Because of Edwards. And alright elcheato. We'll just have to wait and see how he does in New York. I understand he's only had one good season touchdown wise (he also had 60 catches for 880 yards in 06 but only 6 TD) but I just don't think Anderson is as good as you say he is if he keeps struggling to maintain his job against Brady Quinn. In my opinion, I think he's gonna open things up for Cotchery and Keller which will hopefully help our struggling running game since everybody is just crowding the box against us. Not expecting Braylon to go back to the probowl this season. Sanchez is still a work in progress and no one knows how he'll turn out yet either. But adding Braylon is gonna make things easier for him, whether he actually catches the ball or not. By the way, I think his drops are gonna be a lot less than he had with Cleveland. I guess you can blast me for it if I end up being wrong, but hopefully I'm not. Regardless, we gave you scraps for him. Everyone who is saying Stuckey is gonna be a good receiver some day can stop kidding themselves. He doesn't have speed nor any real incredible athletic ability. He deff comes in clutch every so often though. Either way, this is clearly a better deal for the Jets.

LOL? really? because of Edwards, Anderson was a pro bowler? Do you not realize Anderson got benched, because Edwards can't catch. Winslow is the main reason Anderson was a pro bowler, he was the one who opened things up for Edwards down field. I never said Anderson was that good to begin with.. But he is a decent NFL QB, and Braylon has dropped a numerous amount of his passes.

But I like how you can bash a former Jet and base him off what he has done there, but I can't with Edwards.. A 5th round pick would be good enough for Edwards alone. I wouldn't have been upset at all if we straight out released him, surprised we got a first day pick. Not to mention Edwards is a cancer.. I doubt if the team even liked him.

If Edwards couldn't catch, they would bench him not Anderson. Especially if the team never liked him like you said. And Kellen Winslow wouldn't have been open as much without Edwards either so nice try.

And I'm not bashing Stuckey, I just simply stated what he's done. I even mentioned how he comes up clutch quite a bit. But how are people about to say a 3rd string receiver was too much to give up for a Pro Bowl, 26 year old, Starting WR.

 

[The Young One]

Braylon has that dwayne bowe sydrome bad. He can make the spectacular catch but will drop the easiest catch.But from waht I remember even at michigan he had stone hands besides his senior year where he beasted. Its a high reward low risk imo like fps said unless braylon starts trying to fight mark sanchez friends and <Censored>.

Romeo Crennel wasn't a strict coach.. He wouldn't bench players because of off games, he would rather play a struggling veteran over a promising young player. Winslow actually knows how to catch the ball, with his hands, and not try to catch everything with his body.. Winslow cannot be covered by linebackers, so most of the time a safety or a different corner would have to cover him giving Edwards more open space. But, they're both loud mouth cancers... You probably have never watched the Browns or seen Edwards play unless they went against the Jets..

And I simply stated what Edwards has done. He drops a ton of passes, he won't go over the middle, he can't take a hit, he has mental lapses, and bad concentration. Anderson made the pro bowl as well, but you don't think he is good.. Edwards is no longer a pro bowler. Draft picks were involved too, but I guess you missed that... The pick would improve from 3rd to 2nd if Edwards does good, but that probably wont happen so just a 3rd..

Yup, I don't like Anderson as much because he's been benched. I don't care what you say about the coach, the fact is he was benched and Braylon hasn't. And a 3rd pick isn't too much. You guys had to get something nice right? And I don't mind giving up a 2nd round pick at all if Braylon does good.

You know and I know QB's will always be criticized more then every other player even if it's not there fault most of the time..

Agreed. But I've never seen that happen with a legitimate pro-bowler. (unless he's getting old)

It happens when your offensive line breaks down on one side (right side line), your TE gets injured (Winslow, like always), your main 3rd down target is out for the year (Joe Jerevious), and your RB breaks down (Jamal Lewis). There was more pressure on Edwards, but even when he was open, he would constantly drop passes... He has definitely taken a huge drop since 07, and has become more about himself, then the team. He did no service to Anderosn, and was a main reason for his job loss.

Not gonna disagree with any of that. Just being optimistic for what he could become with a new team and a solid offense.

 

[jarrod2323]

30 dropped balls since 2007 is the tied for the highest of any WR -- that's not all just QB and OL's fault
