I used to think that the difference was Chris Jones and the three guys in the middle of their O-line. Now I think it's Chris Jones.

Yeah Flacco stood up pretty well. And yes Cooper had a good year and a 250 yard game with him I think. Bodes well for what he ought to be able to do with Allen.

Who said a 30 year old Cooper was better than a 27 year old Diggs in his career year? And if age has nothing to do with it why reference Cooper as a "30 year old". The question is who is better now. Now they are pretty much equivalent players (except one is cheaper and less likely to be a problem). And do you think QB play is relevant in evaluating WR's production? If you were a wideout wouldn't you rather play with Kirk Cousins and Josh Allen, both outstanding QBs, than with the worst QB in football and/or an over the hill statuesque Joe Flacco?

Needs a new brain.

Diggs is 30 years old too. And Cooper had more yards (and greater average yards per completion) than Diggs on roughly 25% fewer targets just last year. And in Diggs's best year (four years ago) he only earned about 300 yards more than Cooper did in 2023. And who have been Diggs' QBs? And who has been Cooper's? They are both excellent and indeed similar wideouts imo. Both are great route runners. Both are capable of working as deep threats though neither one is taking the top off a good secondary anymore. If anything, Cooper seems to have a better, more professional attitude.

I understand that you were not dissing Cooper. After seeing Diggs in Brady's offence last year I agree AC should be a better fit. I think Diggs was perfectly capable of playing in Brady's system. I don't think he wanted to.

Some informed observers (other players and some commentators) feel that Cooper has been the best route runner in the game. They are both great route runners.

They are equivalent talents imo. Cooper is much less the diva than Diggs personality wise. Complete professional.

With Coop this year's WR room is now as good and probably even a little better than last year's group. True we took a big cap hit for Diggs but now we are paying an equivalent player peanuts, plus we have scooped a 2nd rounder from Houston.

Jax needs to fire everybody. Especially that awful OC. I think it happens at year end. Lawrence is not at all that bad. They dropped four TD passes that were great throws versus the Bears. I think Gabe managed to drop 2 all by himself.

Not even the Jets would live with that contract after this year. Maybe they get to negotiate a new deal if Rodgers is still in the saddle next year. If Rodgers is out of the picture so is Davante imo.

Meanwhile Taron Johnson made one of the best picks I've ever seen. Him and Rapp were great last night.

Maybe they aren't so dumb after all.

And they will be taking a 35MM cap hit in 2026 after Rodgers' contract has ended.

Jets busy using up all that cap space and draft picks to win now. Probably this year is their window (and they are already 2-4). When it doesn't happen they will be facing a long term drought. I don't know that Rodgers can last the year. Wouldn't surprise me if Davante looked elsewhere for a job next year.

For the most part nothing I saw last night surprised me as an unexpected outcome. The one take away though was the run blocking of the O-line. Jets D is pretty much middle of the pack when it comes to stopping the run yet they were flat out dominated. We have a good stable of backs but you could have driven a truck through some of those holes. I don't know how much of the success they had was scheme related and a good matchup and how much was due to simple physical superiority in imposing their will. We have seen it before but last night it was especially evident, especially considering that the lead back didn't even suit up. So nice to have a run game (other than Josh). Brady/Kromer deserve credit for that.

More like midget wrestling.

Bass sucks.

Fire McD

Agree. I just don't think Adam's will play in LV this year (or ever again) and I don't blame him. Josh McD really wrecked that roster.

And imagine how good they would be if Reddick ever suited up.

I agree. My point is just that they might be further ahead if their decisions were based on the play on the field. I think many of us can remember the look Rodger's coming off the field gave Salah when the latter tried to hug him. It was a look of absolute hatred and contempt. Rodger's hates Salah (for whatever reason). Meanwhile Rodger's' play will likely continue to be a problem with or without Salah.

Salah was not the problem. A clearly declining HoF QB who now lacks mobility behind a bad O-line is the problem. And that hasn't changed.

How about never. Is that soon enuf?

I could be misremembering but didn’t Diggs catch one just like the end of game one yesterday.
