Dez on his way ?
-
Britt had a season as good as Fitzgerald.
Hallucinations are no laughing matter.
We can see that - but you're sharing them anyway so I'm ?
Telling me 68 receptions in 2016 is as good as Larry's 107 receptions in the same year is hallucinating... As I said, Fitzgerald had 109 receptions a year later in his 14th NFL season.
Thinking Britt is as good as Larry Fitzgerald is hallucinating.
Britt's career stats show a disappointing 8 years of 9 and you're telling me that's all because of the 9 weeks had had to spend with Kizer in 2017 which went a lot better than 2 rec for 23 yards 0 TDs in the 3 weeks he spent w/ Brady/BB in NE.
Lancelot, you got more "yeah but" than a Budweiser Frog Commercial. I'm all done with this topic. There's nothing more to say. Why don't you share your school girl crush on the guy with NE fans.

Foolgel do you understand that Britts 14 yards per reception is better than Fitzgeralds 10 yards per reception? Britt achieved virtually the same yards and TDs as a HOFer with less receptions.
Im not saying that Britt is Fitzgerald, but you keep on blathering about that. Youre saying Britt is garbage and that is nonsense. Throughout Britts career he has shown flashes of being very good.
Using the Browns last year as evidence that Britt is a bum is really goofy. Britt was brought in to replace Pryor who had 1000 yards in 2016.
The NFL does not work like baseball Foolgel where you plug in a new shortstop and keep on winning. You just dont understand though. How are the Indians doing?
-
Do you really think you need to tell anyone on this board that Kizer struggled - especially the guy who called him the Forfeit?
That said, if you're going to argue all Britt needed was an accurate QB for much better production - in this comparison Britt had 2 receptions per game with Kizer and only 2 receptions in 3 games played with Brady. As I said to you already - the experienced Brady preferred the receivers that get open and run good routes.
You can celebrate that 2016 exception to the rule all you want. I'm not nearly as impressed with a 1st round NFL WR that has played 9 years and only exceeded 42 receptions once and only exceeded 775 yards once while averaging only 3.5 TDs a year.
FWIW, I tried to talk myself into him too when he was 1 of the only available veteran WRs that would have touched our 2017 situation with a 10 foot pole.
Kizer struggled? He has no business in the NFL, so stop acting like Britt had anyone competent throwing the ball in Cleveland. Yew, had his playcalling duties stripped. What were you expecting from Britt? To light up the AFCN?
Do you really think that a player can to go to a new team and not have a learning curve? Forget about Briit last year in NE. He was not in the NE training camp.
His number are not nearly as dire as you make them out to be. In 92 games, Briit has averaged 52 yards a game, 3 receptions per game.
4 seasons of at least 681 yards and 3 TDs
2010 - 12 games 42 receptions, 775 yards and 9 TDs
2011- 3 games 17 receptions, 289 yards and 3 TDs.
If he makes the team its not because of Edelman. Its because NE sees potential.

I have a compromise that hopefully both of you can agree on:
BOTH Kizer and Britt sucked swamp water.
OK...will that do it for you?
-
Are we really discussing the merits of Kenny Britt right now? And posting stats and Shít?
Ok, carry on...
Did you know he was a 1st round pick?
Did you know he was a 1st round pick?
So were Charles Rogers, and Jamarcus Russell.....and Mike Junkin. And a lot of other busts. Maybe he is not an epic bust like those guys were....but he was not first round talent...or production in his career.
-

Actually...it can. If you have a QB like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady etc......you CAN just plug in a new WR and keep on winning. Those QBs have proven it.
What you cannot do is to plug in a mediocre, or worse WR, and expect a losing team to start winning. (which seems to be what you are arguing about Britt)

I never said that Britt was.
He was drafted too high. It happens.

They have to learn the teams offense and terminology.
Its not that easy.
No, I am arguing that Britt has shown flashes of being very good.

Well....sure, anyone that puts on an NFL uniform, even a training camp grunt has to learn his teams terminology....and what to do at whatever position he plays. And, I suppose that he did show flashes of being good, it is why the Browns signed him. But...where were ANY of those flashes here? Nowhere clearly. John Dorsey could not wait to dump this guy. I think he did it within like 24 hours of being hired here.

Career TD highs and lows 9, 5, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 0. Eh. But well paid!

Using the Browns last year as evidence that Britt is a bum is really goofy. Britt was brought in to replace Pryor who had 1000 yards in 2016.

Thanks for the reminder. Pryor gave us over 1000 yards on a team that went 1-15 with QBs like Kessler, Whitehurst, Hogan and RG3andout. Britt came here for way more money and gave us far less effort and production with the guy that beat out Kessler. NOBODY except maybe Poe wanted Kizer replaced more than me last year. That doesn't mean Britt didn't perform anywhere near like a 1st round WR in 2015, 2104, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
As I said before, I lived in Nashville throughout Britt's disappointing tenure on and off the field as a 1st round draft pick. THAT, not to be confused with just 9 games with Kizer, was enough of a 1st impression to justify why I think he sucks. Already told you that earlier in our discussion but it's not what your Kizer alibi wanted to hear. In a 9 year career, Britt had only 1 year that resembled 1st round performance (not to be confused with 9 forgettable weeks in Cleveland).
If he wasn't on NE's roster - we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Not true at all.
Just looking at Britts entire body of work. Like his 3 games with 3 TDs and approximately 300 yards.
Where he was drafted is irrelevant at this point.
Britt did not get a fair shake in Cleveland, but he also should not have shot his way out of town. So, I can see why you would be upset.

I was hoping that Britt would replace Pryor and if you go back and see all my comments supported Sashi for letting Pryor go. He wanted way too much money and we saw what happened to him last year in Washington. Everything looked good on paper with Britt bringing a 1000 yard season with him.
Britt is not a guy who comes in and makes Kizer better. He is not a Michael Jordan. If he makes the team this year which is looking more and more likely, Britt could be a good # 3 or even a # 2 WR.

Would come with less baggage than Dez ?
The
#Bengals are cutting WR Brandon LaFell, his agent Jonathan Feinsod tells me. “We have been lobbying for his release for some time now and appreciate the Bengals granting our request,” Feinsod said. -
Lafell would be nice addition

For what he was being paid, those flashes were far too infrequent to keep him around. Add in a bad attitude, it was little wonder the first thing Dorsey did was show him the door.

The Britt signing made absolutely no sense to me in the first place.. I get that we needed pass catchers.. But this a$$ was a complete churl...

Heading into last year, I was right where you are today about the 2016 season thinking it was an ideal turning point for him. We're fans, we want we to see the positives in guys we gotta count on.
When I lived in Nashville during his entire time there, he was a streaky player where he'd cluster in some big games like you said. Then he'd trend the dropsies for extended period to the point he got benched for them one of the years. His lack of professionalism and preparation off the field were often mentioned on the Sport Radio show TheFAN in Nashville by former Titans Frank Wychek and Blaine Bishop. There was constantly off the field issues in 2011 and 2012 in Nashville and New Jersey. They miss him in Nashville about as much as Paris Hilton misses her last case of crabs.
NE is probably the best place he can be whether it's the GOAT QBing or one of the GOAT as a HC challenging him.

Not that Dez would be Dwayne Bowe II... but I do not see the sense in pursuing him.

Because he did not know the offense.
Its not baseball.
He didn't know the offense because it's not baseball? You're going that far with the 2017 alibi after crying hysterically if he only had a real QB? Now that he was given Tom Brady - you're at how terrible of NE to expect a 9 year veteran WR to pick up a playbook like a professional to the extent he can at least contribute part time for the rest of the year? We're talking 2 rec for 23 yards and 0 TDs in 3 games in NE. Then again, contributing would require some degree of willingness to prepare like a professional that has evaded Britt for all but 1 of his 9 years.
Now why would Belichick consider adding an experienced veteran late in the year? Because has the following example of when that worked out well for him. LeGarrette Blount quit the Steelers in week 11 and was signed by NE in week 12 of 2014. That never prevented him from contributing 281 yards and 3 TDs rushing plus adding 34 yards receiving in part time duty. When your full time gig is football this shouldn't be impossible for vets changing teams late in the year to contribute. No excuses required...
RB Jay Ajayi also played part of the year for Miami in 2017 and finished his final 7 weeks in Philly. He rushed for 408 yards at 5.8 yard per carry and added 10 receptions for 91 yards while splitting reps 3 ways with Blount and Clement. Again, no excuses required...
The message is what it has always been. If you fail to prepare; then you should prepare to fail.
