Do the Jets Have the Best Three Receiver Set in Football?

I think I made this point in a comment in one of the fanposts, though I was just responding to if they were better than the Pats. Man… you’d be really hard pressed to try to find a better corps that this. Of course, this is highly dependent on Braylon finally getting over his case of the dropsies and Dustin carrying his breakout over from the playoffs. But man… whoever’s gonna be on our schedule should be pooping their pants right now.

sorry, fellow jets fans, but we’re not the best at all. I’d take the colts receivers over ours any day. I don’t care that it’s peyton manning. we dont have anyone like reggie wayne throwing us the ball. kellers no dallas clark. dont pretend were better because if you could trade edwards cottchery holmes and keller for wayne garcon collie and clark I know I would

S Holmes is in the top 10 of #1 WRs. B Edwards is in the top 5 of #2 WRs. But I think what makes this the best trio is that Cotchery is by far the best #3 rec in the game.

The Colts have the best WR set in the game right now and its b/c you can’t discount the play of Manning. The WR’s and the QB go hand in hand. Why would anybody compare WR’s and then ignore the play of the QB’s? The Colts passing game isn’t just “good”. It’s hall of fame “GREAT!”. To compare the two at this point in any form is laughable. BTW the Jets WR’s havn’t even taken the field yet so lets not give them anything untill they at least show it in a game.

This shocks me too, but Troy O, most of your lists include tight ends, the posts asks for recievers, add Keller to our list and I believe that We can have the best quatro. The lists that have three recievers with more that 600 yards are all passing offenses as well, so if they were a running team, would those numbers be so good. I don’t think the Eagle’s trio will have nearly as many yards now without McNabb. Aside from the Colts recievers, I can’t really find another trio of great recievers, and let’s face it, one year is not enough for Garcon and Collie to have proven themselves, so let’s phrase it this way:

We may not have the best trio of recievers in the league, but as of right now, we have the best proven trio of recivers in the leage even with Mr. Dropsies in the group.

Dude, I’m not saying that he doesn’t have anything to work on, and they have established themselves within the league, not necessarily on the team together. Both Edwards and J-Co have gone over 1000 yards once in their career, but Edwards also was playing in QBless Clevlend.

Being a good reciever and a proven one is not about gaining all of those yards, it’s about being able to clear out parts of the field for other people to get open, scoring touchdowns when necessary(granted B. Ed. droped some sure td’s…we still won those games), and it’s also about being able to make blocks for the running game as well as blocking for other recievers, Edwards can do that.

Yes, Holmes was in a run heavy offense, which is what the Giants were when they won the super bowl, but in regards to the list of trios you posted, there was not one run heavy offense, Buress was on the Giant’s run heavy team, the Giants as of late are a pass happy team.

Troy, at least you have football knowledge unlike some morons over in the patspulpit and I like this debate, but If my point is what you have been trying to prove, that list you posted didn’t help your point. Holmes helped ward be what he is and vice versa. It is not all about the catches and yards, it’s about all other aspects and with all that said, we have the most proven trio that can excel at all aspects, now only if Edwards wouldn’t drop everything, we might not have much to worry about as far as reciever goes.

For the JETS, in the past the potential has, well, not come any where near expectation and let’s hope this is the begining of change.

Maybe I misread you post Troy, but you did make it seem as though there was little potential and being a good reciever was all about yards. If that’s what you meant this whole time, potential, than I guess this was just a fun debate.

of Driver and Jennings is right there with anyone’s. Jordy Nelson is probably their #3, and he’s not bad, though still a bit young. But they also have a really good tight end.

I’d have to go with the saints. I know they have a great qb, but Colston Henderson Meachem and Moore, not to mention the resurgence of Shockey last year. You put those receivers in other systems and I still think they have very good years.

I also think this is a bit of an unfair comparison. Right now, we have a trio of wideouts that have all been 1’s at one time in their career. Holmes was the go to target for Rapistburger last year, Edwards the go to man for Anderson in two years prior to him being a Jet, and Cotchery being the most consistent receiver over the last couple of years (Yes I liked him more than Coles). We have no idea how they will gel together as a core and who will emerge as the big target for Sanchez (my money’s on Cotch). Most importantly, we have no idea how Sanchez will progress from one year to the next. I don’t want to see too much pressure put on our second year franchise man. I personally think slow and steady wins the race, meaning that if we continue to move Sanchez along with a great running game and d he will eventually be the qb we all envision.

for blocking, maybe. which is a really good thing considering the running nature of this team.

i just don’t see us as a big time passing team this year, even if we had jerry rice and chris carter. but i definitely like the acquisition.
