For the most part we have a young group of receivers. I have to watch them play before I can vote here.

Voted for a "disaster with Holmes as our top WR."

Also wanted to vote for 'other': Seriously lacking depth.

So I guess hot garbage is in play?

A lot of of overlap here.

Stop. That's the last warning from me. You don't need to combat an obnoxious post with one of your own.

I went with "Fill in the blank" because they are a total unknown. Full of potential but who knows at this point. We probably won't know for a few weeks.

Here's hoping that GS3 under center, and Coples on the edge works out.

This should have been a choice. Total mystery at this point. Terrible poll

We should poll cult members and Kool-Aid Swallowers. I suspect that SG0 would be on the top of the list.

LOL, 4 of the options indicate that the Jets WRs are terrible, 1 indicates average and onlyis favorable. How about:
1- Excellent
2- Very good
3 Fair
4 below average
5- Hot Garbage

Awful poll is awful.

How are any of our receivers teenagers? Where did you come up with the "think they are better than they are" part? You should go join the ****ty Jets beat writers - you feed off of Holmes antics LAST YEAR and spin it up into mountains of bull****. This poll is idiotic considering they haven't played ONE SNAP of preseason football, let alone a regular season game....

I'd say "adequate till proven otherwise".

We have Holmes, who is talented but volatile.

We have Hill, a great developmental/future pick.

We have Kerley, who I'm still VERY high on.

And we have Schillens/Turner, JAG's.

We should also mention that WR is not the only spot that gets passes, we have Keller and Cumberland as well, both somewhat capable targets.

Ball-catching out of the backfield is the real unknown of our passing game right now. I hope McKnight can rise to that challenge.
