It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Emmanuel Sanders was just a slot guy in Pittsburgh until he left and went to DenverHe's a big slot receiver and just duplicates what we have in Meyers. We either need a proper outside receiver or a fast gadget guy like Samuel, who can threaten short and deep. As long as we can get Henry or Smith at TE, I have my eyes on Davis, Agholor, Samuel, or Jones at receiver. Wouldn't rule out a trade for someone like OBJ either.
JuJu averaged 8.6 yards a reception last year. That's even worse than Harry..... We need explosive playmakers - we currently have the slowest offense in the league.
I'm not saying I wouldn't take him on a value deal but not for the price he's going to cost.
Yup. Add the $ he’ll command, and it gets even less appealing...Another Tomlin problem child. Loves to cause drama.
Just because the Pats can afford him and don't have any decent WRs doesn't make him worth it. Pass.He’s not a number 1 wr but will get paid like one. No thanks
Why are you ignoring the rest of his career, including college? Last year was an outlier....Big Ben’s arm strength seemed to fall off a cliff and Juju played more in the slot than in the past. His first three years his yds/rec were 15.8, 12.8 and 13.1.
Agree completely.He’s not a number 1 wr but will get paid like one. No thanks
He's going to get a big contract and get cut in 2023.
It doesn't make him less of a knucklehead. I love the game, for all the reason you state. It's the between the ears chit and all the baggage he brings. More interested in being a social media presence. He's not mature enough to pull a Moss or a Dillon and get his head on straight, in my opinion. Let me see him after this next contract.You guys down on JuJu are missing it badly. His yards per reception went down last year because Pittsburgh changed their entire offense to compensate for (a) Roethlisberger's declining arm strength, and (b) the OL not protecting him well and them not wanting him to get hit. They threw the ball incredibly short distances on purpose, a million 3-5 yard hitters. That was all by design, and is not at all reflective of JuJu's ability.

Everyone's yards per reception number went down (not just JuJu's) because of how Pittsburgh ran their offense in 2020. Roethlisberger's yards per attempt went from 7.4 in 2018-19 to 6.3 in 2020, and his yards per completion went from 11.3 in 2018-19 to 9.5 in 2020.
JuJu is a terrific, terrific player. Big, strong, fast, tough, with really good hands. He played the slot so I don't know how much he was matched up against the other team's #1 CB. He'd be a MASSIVE improvement over anything the Pats currently have at WR.
