Cole Beasley with a TD catch tonight.
Apparently, Mike Sando at ESPN.com thinks Eric Decker was one of the worst free agent signings this off season. Claims Decker's past success is all due to Peyton Manning, and that Decker hasn't done anything to help the Jets... wow... So, is Mike Sando an idiot? or racist? or both?
I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, and just say he's a dumbass that doesn't understand football, but he's a supposed 'insider' at ESPN.com.
If Decker had a competent quarterback to throw to him he might have better numbers. Decker's a good wide receiver.
The criticism of him is because he's white.
I repeat, did Decker bother to consider who would be throwing to him when he signed with the Jets? Did he have the notion the New York Press Corp would love him unconditionally?
I blame Decker and his agent on this dilemma. Any moron could see a situation like this was going to happen. Smith isn't an accurate down field thrower and even if he were benched Glass Joe Vick has never had more than 2 3K passing season and he was barely above that in Philly. Decker had the potential to string multiple 1k season in Denver and win an elusive championship. Plus he went through a 1970's style offense before in Tim Tebow. Unless the Broncos totally low balled him in terms of salary this was among the dumbest free agent moves in recent years. Short of signing with Oakland or Washington signing with the Jets is as close to career suicide as possible.I think Decker decided to go to the Jets because he probably felt they wanted him and offered him the best deal. I disagreed with him signing there as well but he was treated as an after thought in free agency. There wasn't a market for him due to his skin color so he in probably decided to go to the team that he felt like wanted him and respected his ability and talent.
Any criticism of Decker by the media is moronic. Anyone with half a brain knows that Deckers downturn in production was due to geno smiff being the worst starting qb in the league. That clown Sando probably doesn't want to admit that yet another black quarterback as flopped. Honestly Decker has not had a bad year all things considered.

from that article it looks like Denver had zero interest in keeping him. I can't knock him for getting a contract he deserved, hopefully the jets qb situation improves next season.
Then Bridgewater takes a sack for a safety. black quarterbacks responsible for all the scoring, so far.Geno Smith pick 6, six seconds into the game
