I'm surprised this was even considered "news". How often do teams bring in a new player for $10mil to even be a rotational guy let alone a backup?
Dede Westbrook has looked good at times too.
Just wish he demonstrated any kind of consistency - the Jags seemed to think so with a big one year contract, but haven’t seen it yet.
Yeah, no idea what to make of him. He's 2nd on the team in snap count (at WR) with a little over 70% (behind Cole - 79%, ahead of Westbrook - 61%). He's third in line for targets by a little bit, though (28-24-22 for Westbrook-Cole-Moncrief). He's the tallest and the fastest. And the highest paid. So... maybe it'll materialize? Or maybe week 4 was the high water mark?
I think it’s going to vary by week. All are talented but none seem to be separating themselves from the pack. With Fournette out, it’s possible they go to a more pass happy scheme, so maybe there’s a bigger pie overall.
Correct. There is no #1 WR in Jacksonville. It very well could turn out that each has 600-900 yds and 5-8 TDs at the end of the season. Reviewing coverage matchups and past usage in similar games can give you a hint as to who to play each week (Westbrook vs. Jets slot corner Buster Skrine was a mugging just waiting to happen).zamboni said:
What's horrible? Same QB. AR15 averaged 5.9 yards per target. Moncrief is sitting at 7.8. I'm not saying they are the same type of player. Just that while Moncrief's stats aren't great this year, they aren't bad if you take situation into account.
I'd say the odds of him re-signing are about as low as any FA could be. JAX is rich with WRs and he's looking to get paid. Remember they just paid Marquise Lee who will be back form injury and both Cole and Westbrook have looked like legitimate NFL WRs, so they'll have no need to pay Moncrief in 2019. Don't forget they will also want to give Chark some playing time in year 2.
The point was not to compare Moncrief's career to Robinson's. It was to show that playing in JAX can greatly impede your statistics.
Sigh... this is my last attempt to spell it out: He's putting up decent numbers with a crappy QB. Even better numbers than a good WR did with this same QB. His performance is probably good enough to get at least a Paul Richardson-esque contract somewhere.
You're just cherry picking stats to make a horrible comp. AR also put up elite numbers with the same QB while Montcrief has never been much more than a JAG, even playing with Luck.FF Ninja said:
I keep trying to tell you it's not a comparison on Robinson and Moncrief's careers. Maybe if I do it again? Hey, it's not a comp of their careers. Got it?
The Steelers needed a veteran WR to help take a little pressure from JuJu. If Washington continues to approve, Ben should have some targets to spread the ball around a little.
Yeah, but Moncrief at least has a knowledge of where the boundaries on the field are. DHB never had football sense in that way. It was painful to watch him.
There is a better opportunity for him with bigben....pitt likes their wr to marinade....they have a good track record of developing their own...james washington has the advantage of 1 season under his belt w ben
Not sure I would call that an advantage. Their chemistry was terrible. I can easily see Moncrief out performing Washington as much as it pains me to say that. I have Washington in several leagues and Moncrief in none.
