thanks, bent. i agree with what you’re saying about his fit in our scheme.

im basing my skepticism on clemmens after 1. seeing him in training camp, 2. watching his college games. IMO he is nothing special…i hope to god he is though and i am dead wrong, bc when bquinn is a probowler in 4 yrs, i will be very upset!

Apparently it was 2 for 2 for his career. I’m not even kidding.

Jumbo Elliot’s was the same though, although arguably he had about five attempts just to catch that one pass!

Hey, Branzell’s receptions/TD ratio is 100%. One catch, one TD. Not bad.

Branzell is an award winning special teams monster! Doesn’t mean he makes the team, but stats aren’t everything. I know a lot of people are clamouring for a pass catching TE, but we had one last year in Hilton and he never saw the field. Jets run a lot of 3WR, 4WR sets and the H-Back position, so I guess they are happy with Baker, Ryan, Pociask, Kowaleski as far as depth goes. If not, there’s still 4 months til the season starts! I doubt the answer was here anyway.

Harlan, we ran a roster competition last year, which I believe was won by will, so perhaps we’ll do it again this year.

Quinn would’ve been a wasted pick (because either he Clemens or Chad would be relegated to 3rd string), cost too much on the cap and is a horrible fit in NY because he can’t throw deep unless he is putting the ball up for grabs to a big wideout (which we don’t have). Plus we had other needs which needed to be upgraded far more than picking up a guy who *might* be an upgrade, but probably not as a rookie.

Mind you, I am not in the Brady as a fin scares me group. I think they might end up better off with Ginn & Beck than Quinn & whoever. What hurts them more is their aging D and the loss of Welker (who they had to pick up Ginn to replace).

But, quinn is still a better prospect. just not worth the price. there’s just no way yoy draft him with pennington and the clemons (2nd rder last year) on the roster.

yeah, i’m not buying that assessment of clemons. the guy played all of t15 snaps last year, many of those in that buffalo game when everyone forgot how to block.

isn’t that the same thing people said a/b pennington when he didn’t see the field for two years?

If Tangini really felt Quinn was a major upgrade over Clemens, we would have traded up to before Dalls, taken Quinn, & traded Clemens while his value is high

Dave – I think “Tangini” disagree with your opinion of Clemens. There is not really any reason to think Clemens can’t be the future quarterback of this team. I don’t know what you are basing your negativity about him on.

Bassett, you should have a contest. Guess the number of UDFA who stick and or which ones.
