Sticking With Holmes. Everything Points To A Decision Made!

Did anyone read what was Plax’s relationship with the Giants and their coach. NOT GOOD!! I think the Jets have decided to keep Holmes (maybe bring back Edwards?) and get rid of Plax. That is why the FIRST FA signing was Turner who physically is similar to Plax. Before Plax was on the team this year, I never even heard a rumor of there being a problem with Holmes.

….that I don’t know what went on behind the scenes. While what Tone did was seemingly unacceptable, I don’t know if it was done because he cares so much and was frustrated.

I know it’s hard to swallow, as we all want our players to be a mixture of Derek Jeter / Keith Hernandez / Curtis Martin etc……but the truth is, some players aren’t like that. Some are a bit “uncoordinated” in how they communicate.

So, as a fan, I have no choice but to hope for the best, and that some day we will look back and say it was a turning point in his career / learned from it / became a leader etc.

Whether or not this will happen, who knows. And I can’t argue with anyone who thinks he’s a spoiled brat.

although I am still angry with him and have zero confidence in his abilities or willingness right now.

to cut him will cost too much money and leave more holes to fill. He is a good WR but his behavior has been detrimental to the team. hopefully everyone can move on from last season. It was not that bad a move for the FO originally as he had a great year and proved he could be a team player. Once he got signed however he turned into a baby. We need his playmaking skills to win but we will also need another WR (Bray or meachem?) slong with tone.

What other choice do the Jets have? It’s a waste of money to cut him and no one would be willing to trade for him so we’re stuck. I have faith Tone and Sanchez will work out their differences this off season but Braylon or some other deep threat guy needs to be signed and Plax needs to go away.

I think Holmes was vocal to a point his teammates could not stand him. Hey but someone gotta talk. Antrel Rolle was that for the Giants and called out team captain Tuck to get back on the practice field. Jets player IMO did not show enough passion last season. Judging from the clip posted, Santonio was rallying them for battle, and they just stood their emotionless. I think it is a good move for Holmes to be back. How could we cut a playmaker. Giants kept Osi, even after his diva demands. Enough of Tanny and Rex letting good players walk and im glad they got the memo.

I thought he was terrible this year, but if the Jets can get some other deep threats he can still have as good a year if not better then he had in 2010

He certainly didnt like the fact that he wasnt thrown to as much as he wanted. Holmes probably felt that he can help the teams situation because he knows what he can do on the field. He’s a good reciever with game-changing ability. I also think braylon’s departure effected his game

Found on another site:

PFF rates Holmes like this:

Biggest Drop Off
Santonio Holmes: From +4.7 to *-11.0

The scary thing about that 2010 number is it doesn’t do justice to the year Holmes had, with picking up a +10.3 for his receiving, and only penalties, rushing and blocking. So good was his performance (as it has been for the prior two years to 2010), you understood why the former Steeler got the money he did. That entire combination just adds–along with the seeming attitude issues–to the disappointment in the year Santonio Holmes had. Mark Sanchez didn’t help, but Holmes just catching 52% of balls thrown his way isn’t all on his QB. We know how good he is, so a bounce back year is a strong possibility, but it’s worrying that after getting paid, he put forth a year like this.
