Josh Gordon's skillset is far different than Jacoby's.  Jacoby is unpolished but can beat coverage by his speed alone, doesn't have talent anywhere else except his hands which have learned how to hold onto a ball.


Also;



He still has doubters after this game.  He lead his team 80 yards in 40 seconds without a Hail Mary, which hasn't been done since 1981.

^This is also true.

Um.... I think I know what you are saying, but after speed alone I lost you.

[the bread dragon]

speed and hands is a good start; better than some

[SirBlaziken]

Yes, but some just have a different skill sets as Raven said.

[Lord Raven]

But he said what I said, basically.  He has good speed, good hands, but that's it.  He doesn't fight for catches at all, he can only burn coverage on routes, but the fact is that if it were that easy then he'd see a lot more receptions.  Fact is, we have nobody that can fight for the ball except Pitta, who was a blessing in that game.  His dislocated hip was a freak accident thankfully, because he made some really ballsy catches this game.

I think of him as Mark Clayton with better hands and a better QB throwing to him, but I bet you dont know who that is...

[SirBlaziken]

No I do not, sorry.

[the bread dragon]

wr from about 10 years ago iirc

[Lord Raven]

he was a ravens first round wr that could burn coverage better than Jacoby Jones but had drop issues

[SirBlaziken]

Ok. I need to watch more NFL. And play it.

Anyways, the NFC East is still confusing, WSH is out, as is NYG. It's DAL vs. PHI for the title. I'm going with Phili, because after November, Romo is trash. Well, when not in November, Romo isn't good, still....

[Lord Raven]

Romo isn't trash in December, the whole team just falls apart on him.

NFC East isn't confusing, but NYG is mathematically eliminated as of today.  31 fanbases breath a sigh of relief.

(I should also say here now that Clayton looked much better when Flacco threw to him than when Boller threw to him, because Boller was overall awful too even though sometimes he had some incredible games)

At any rate, Clayton was drafted when you were like 4 or 5 years old (I was like 12 or 13)

[SirBlaziken]

The NFC East is still not clear, because Dallas and Philadelphia and near each other. So, when Dallas falls apart, the Eagles will likely be in the playoffs.

[the bread dragon]

on the note of nfc east

mike shanahan could be gone
hes like the 8th coach under snyder
