Derby was really impressive in limited action last year. Made some really tough, contested catches, and showed great overall toughness.

An injured JT with no chemistry with his QB is still superior to the trash TE's we have and have had on our roster. We were fools to let him go and each year he was gone he could have been phenomenal for us. He would have been especially useful last year as our two QB's threw the ball against the middle of the field like Buff and I chug down beers.

12 point drop in his catch percentage. Went from 12 TD's to 5 and 4. The 5 were from 2015 when he played in 12 games. The 4 were when he played in 9 games.

Joe, do you ever get tired of taking L's from King?

Taking L's? As in losses?

I don't think so!

Let's be honest, he had one great year in Denver and was hurt the rest of the time. There's a reason Elway refused to pay him retarded money. Jax overpaid and are now trading him for a Tackle because he's done nothing for them for 2 years.

^All this.

He hasnt repeated that season that he had with one of the best QB's to ever play the game. Until he can he is a one year wonder who cant stay healthy.

The only reason a JT is worth having on the roster is if you have a Peyton Manning that can use said JT-device to convert in the red-area. Without a top-10/15 QB, you might as well have a roster full of Darbys and Greens that can meaningfully contribute the 90% of the snaps when the ball isn't a JT-target.

I don't understand why Green isn't targeted more. He's got a solid catch% rate, 57 of 81, 70%.

If your QB can't use a TE like that to get it done in the red zone I think your QB is utter trash. JT also was a really solid player on third downs. It was a grievous blow to lose him. I mourn it each day.

We could use more of these hot takes.
