THEE NYG SWAG THREAD

[JPizzack]

I'm sorry Daven but guys who have yet to do a thing on the field don't get the credit that Hixon has. He has played and produced for us, including a great catch last year that tore up his knee AND won us a football game.
You can say that you think JJ and Barden have the upside to surpass Hixon, but you can't say that they are better football players than Hixon right now without backing it up on the filed in ANY way.
I guess I'm with Matt on this. Thats not to say that I would definately keep Hixon instead of one of those guys, because sometimes you have to take that risk, but Hixon HAS produced and those guys haven't.

I just dont understand this opinion....well, I do....but I don't...lol
The Giants wouldn't spend $3mill on Steve Smith after recovering from his injury....Smith who was a VERY productive receiver for us, much more so than Hixon has ever been. You defended that decision to not offer more than the eagles.

Yet youre saying Hixon is a better option than these young guys? Hixon who has torn his ACL twice? Idk man...kind of a double standard of sorts.

It's funny Morehead, that was my exact argument for Braylon Edwards in the past, I'm glad we went with Nicks instead...

Similarly I hope in this situation we go with a younger guy that hasn't proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is injury prone like hixon has, and has the potential to be better then what we know hixon is, which is at best a "competent" receiver that "used" to be the best Kick Returning option we had.

70% Hixon is not better then any WR on our roster at 100%

eh debatable...

out of what i've been seeing from Jernigan -- thats highly debatbale

PS- u owe my buddy some beers for that team he drafted for u

[MattMeyerBud]

Im not counting his receptions, im counting his play when returning kicks against guys who are gonna be 1st team STers

he looked alrite, but I mean his biggest one was because of two holding penalties.

Dont' get me wrong, i like what i've seen from him but im far from convinced - and again i think we go wtih 7 at WR

[MattMeyerBud]

I'm sure he meant other than Nicks and Cruz.

obviously.....

I'll definetly buy him some beers, but I ended up with Cowboys all over again, it's like every single time I miss a draft Cowboy players just love jumping on my team, I guess I'll deal with it this year though I don't have much of a choice, I like that I got Calvin Johnson/Peyton Manning though.

Well then youre not watching. Had decent return last night. Out of all the wrs looking to be the number 3 he is constantly the fastest off the line of scrimmage. Not his fault the oline cant give carr enough time to throw.

haha it is your argument

but theres no exact formula. Just because it was right last time doesn't mean it is this time.

don't forget Jernigan didn't even beat out Stokely for reps before cruz exploded last year. Nicks came out of the gate beasting as a rookie. Your comparing apples to oranges
