Decent draft yes. Transformative? Heck look at KC that same year - Pacheco, Karlaftis, McDuffie, Cook, Moore, Chenal, Watson...that is much closer to transformative.
Right decision. If they did not try that kick then they need to cut Bass immediately.
The few plays before could have been better to leave less time on the clock. Even doing a run play on 2nd, then a quick spike with only 3 secs on 3rd would have been better.
The Jets only bad loss is NE. The others are all vs good teams and most were close games: SF, DEN, MIN, BUF, PIT. They were within a score in 3 of those. With that and the roster many are not ready to write them off yet.
I would rather just see the Jets lose again. Get them even closer to being out of it. You look at their schedule and if they do turn things around it would not be out of question to go one a run and finish at 10-7 or even 11-6.
Meanwhile HOU plays at DAL, at KC plus games vs DET and BAL. That is 4 very losable games.
Then you look at our schedule and we have KC, SF and DET as losable games. Add in a loss to the Jets and we have 4 possible losses.
So the way I see it HOU is going to lose at least 2-3 more games. The Jets dont have a impossible path to 10-11 wins. The Bills could also wind up with only 10-11 wins.
While, I am not really worried about the Jets I would rather get closer to guaranteeing the division and worry about HOU later.
True but...look at DAL. He put up decent numbers ~1100 yds. Then Lamb comes in and passes him up and within a couple years Lamb puts up 1700 yards. I think that is the logic around Cooper being a very good WR just not a top tier guy.
His numbers dont scream "dominate" they are more steady and solid production. His best year is 1200 yards which is legit but in today's NFL you have tons of guys putting up those numbers. So I think its been a matter of his ceiling just being lower so if your spending big $$ it goes to someone else.
I don't know about the its not close. If the trades were reversed I would probably be just as happy. Cooper is cheaper, though doesn't matter unless we are spending money somewhere else. Though we would have needed TEN to pitch in more to make a trade work.
Career wise they are similar though would say Hopkins has had more success over the long term. Who has more gas in the tank and ability to make an impact is anyone's guess. Bottom line we needed something and we got it whether Cooper, Hopkins, Kupp or Adams.
Yes and I am not complaining as I love the move for Cooper. But we traded a 3rd for him while KC a 5th for Hopkins. That is a pretty big difference. CLE actually did ok if you think about as I think they only gave up like a 5th or 6th for Cooper two years ago and got back a 3rd now.
