edwards vs floyd

edwards vs floyd

This is a toss up for me. I'm not a big Edwards fan. I've seen more Charger games than Browns/Jets but it seems to me that Braylon tends to disappear alot during big games. I've seen Floyd make plays but I still think Edwards is more talented. I don't know, I think I would rather have Floyd than Edwards. The problem is if we give Edwards a big contract, Crabtree is going to expect a big contract next year or the year after. Floyd would probably come cheaper but who knows with this team anymore.
yeah making that clutch acrobatic catch in the final seconds last yr in the playoffs at indy was not showing up

A one year deal minimizes the risk, but I would worry about signing Braylon Edwards. What kind of teammate would he be? He has an ego AND off the field issues. What if he were to get suspended? Is this a risk we're willing to take? On the field. no problem. Off the field, I'm not so sure? Give me Malcom Floyd!

Edwards has brought baggage everywhere he has been, and has continued to drop passes at very inopportune moments. He has never come close to fulfilling his press clippings out of college.

I wish more people would wake up and realize this^^^

No that catch was great. I have nothing against Braylon but thats one play which is probably the greatest play I had seen him make in his career. If we sign him and he is able to make more of those types of plays I would be very happy.

braylon when his head is screwed on right has made and can make amazing plays, its just that stupid off the field crap that worries me. if its a 1 yr deal he wont be stupid enough to f**k up
I honestly would rather have Floyd. But Id be happy with either. Its funny....cbssports reported that Floyd got an offer from the Ravens at reportedly 3 million a year....and say "it might be an offer he cant refuse."

Really? 3 mil is an offer he cant refuse? Get him in here for $3.5 per then. Simple.
Almost need one of those weight scales where you drop jelly beans in to see which is better.


Better Off Field Floyd
Durability Braylon
Long Term Security Floyd
Better Player Braylon
Money Braylon and Floyd - Braylon more $ but Floyd longer deal (ex: 1yr,9mil or 3yr, 9 mil)
Fits Better (Scheme) Edwards - more of a WCO guy
Fits Better (Personnel) Floyd - Need a #2 upgrade, Edwards is a 1 (Conflicts w/ Crabtree)
Wants to be here Floyd - Edwards will most likely use us to get big deal next yr

I agree with everything u say here gore..except. wants to be here..I don't think Edwards would use us for a bigger contract because to get a big deal you have to put up big numbers. Wouldn't he sign with a team with a proven quarterback to get those big stats..look at who's our qb. If he signs with us I think he knows he could fit well in a wco ..just sayin
