A guy like Decker is not a #1. Literally no point bringing him here when we don't even have the qb situation straightened out
03-10-2014, 08:21 PM
He's at best a #2 WR. Doesn't do anything special but consistent. He'll probably sign a deal similar to Reilly Cooper. With that said I'd rather draft a WR vs spending money on an average vet.

I like him as a WR2, but he's seeking WR1 money and is better off as a compliment rather than "the guy".

He was a product of Manning. He would be no better than Shorts with Henne at the helm.

Decker was at Minnesota with Fisch for one season. It's a bit of a stretch to call it a connection.
I wouldn't mind Decker but he will not be worth what he gets paid.

How is there "literally no point"?

Our offense isn't built to take on the risk of a fringe #2 guy hoping he could be productive
Work with what we got now

No way. Fans out here were thrilled to see him go. He was Mincey'd--more focused on his off-field endeavors than his production on the field--and it showed.

Didn't you just start a thread about bringing Steve Smith to Jax?

Decker is overrated. Manning makes everyone look good. Heck, we thought Pierre Garcon was the next Reggie Wayne when he had Manning throwing to him.
I like the small quick dudes like Ace. They are hard to cover.

If Decker was coming in for 2-3 million, no problems but Decker wants to get #1 money at #2 production

NFL forum is the place for this thread
I don't mind Decker - but he's likely to be overpaid by another team. I'm not a fan at all of big contracts to FA receivers and he's probably going to get one.

The Pats would be the ideal landing spot for him IMO.

I see what you did there. And I like it.

I'm not saying that he didn't benefit from playing with Manning, but he has always had a knack for finding the redone...
Dude had 8 TDs on 44 catches the year Orton/Tebow were the QBs.

He was a stud receiver at U of Minnesota too. He may have been an All American his senior year if he had not injured his foot.
