Player Signing Patriots Showing Serious Interest in JuJu Smith-Schuster (Update: Done)

[Ross12]

BOB is implementing his own system which is a good chunk of EP. Forget that crap last year.

I specifically named Berrios because he'll be familiar with it as will Mac.

Remember...JuJu was in EP in Pitt for 4 years.

I'm talking about EP also - Bourne ran it with McDaniels 2 years ago. He'd be the only guy currently rostered who ran it in New England. Thornton did not. Like I said, Berrios has some familiarity but not recently. I don't think we are that far apart though.

Juju’s a physical dude too. Remember him knocking out burfict in 2018 or 2018

There are going to be some tears, they paid JuJu what Jacobi got from LV.

Yep. He'll put a hat on someone in the run game.

 

[50-yard-line]

He was the benefactor of having a HOF QB and HOF TE and still barely outproduced a receiver who had a bunch of nobodies around him to take the pressure off.

That's a weird way to look at it. Kelce had more receptions (110) than the next three non-RB options behind Meyers (Agholor, Henry, and Parker - 107) combined.
Chiefs also had Hardman (Pats should grab him for the right $$$), Moore, and then Toney added, as well, and schemed the latter two into decent roles.

 

[crawhammer]

Apparently yards and TDs don't mean anything anymore. I am assuming this because you clearly didn't want to show how the last two years he was significantly down in this category.

Passer rating is a comprehensive number and a quality indicator of a QB's overall passing production. And like I said it doesn't even take into account rushing totals where Wilson has had a huge advantage over Mac.

 

[crawhammer]

Makes perfect sense. Just because you are the "best" on the team, doesn't mean he should be retained. Upgrades are needed.

I don't agree it's an upgrade. Probably will be a lateral move regarding production.

 

[PatsFan2]

We should also get Mecole Hardman from KC another 4.3 guy to pair with T Thornton with Juju over the middle. That would solve our lack of Speed problem on the outsides.

 

[Toofy]

What gets lost here is Juju needs to learn our system. Meyers already knew it. Meyers was a team captain . He could have guided Thornton and other more .

Juju is going to start from scratch. He doesn't have all world QB throwing to him nor does he have all world TE or WR taking CB1 attention away from him .

I am not sure how this is an upgrade over Meyers who is a home grown talent.

If he produces like agholor this year Bill needs to retire .

Wow man......

 

[upstater1]

Part of that is correct
It goes both ways
You have to create seperation and catch the ball. Then that makes you a go too guy too great QB‘s
So if Mahomes had him as a go too guy, that speaks volumes

My post was in the context of comparing Jakobi and JuJu. We have no idea what jakobi would do with Mahomes. We never will. I'd say really, really, well, given what he did with Newton. One can only hope that JuJu would get us at least 80 recepts and 980 yards (what Jakobi's per game averages project to).

Hardman's stats, playing with the top QB in football, are underwhelming. Philip Dorsett is faster than Hardman.

 

[yukon cornelius]

Upgraded playmaking ability with a WR that is the same age, for the same money?

Kind of a no brainer, ain't it?

 

[Triumph]

I don’t know how anyone could be upset about this signing. We signed the better receiver.

Meh

I had him on my fantasy when he played with AB. Juju was a beast. Then AB left Pitt and
Juju was the # 1 guy.

He is not a # 1 WR. And its facing the facts that Juju played with Mahomes last season. Kelce was the primary target like AB was in Pitt JuJu Smith-Schuster Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Draft, College | Pro-Football-Reference.com

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Schuster's numbers are better than Jakobi's. I like Jacobi, but if you want to upgrade, this is it. Still need a #1.

 

[Sully]

We still may get him.. Juju is a great pick up.. Basically a better version of myers..

I hope we do. A decent move though!

 

[PatsFan2]

Hardman's stats, playing with the top QB in football, are underwhelming. Philip Dorsett is faster than Hardman.

Mecole Hardman was hurt last year 8 games his First three years he was solid behind Hill and Kelce. I would take a chance if I were them.

 

[patsinthesnow]

The pats need a WR1 for this offense to work. They have playmaking WRs in Juju/Bourne & a redzone threat in Henry.

 

[thecore762]

If he is 100% recovered from the injury then he will be a solid asset.

They need a #1, not another 3 or 4.
