Is Eric Decker worth the $10 mill/yr he's seeking?

I say hell no. He doesn't draw coverage to his side and his success is more of a product of Manning than anything.

No doubt. I just don't see him panning out for that price.

I'm sure Decker knows he's not. His agent is just hoping a team is dumb enough to overpay.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Jordy quite a bit faster than Decker?

No, he is not.

These are the kinds of deals that irk guys like Jimmy Graham. If you're going to pay $10M/year, do you want Graham or Decker?

Not only faster, but significantly better hands. I don't think that's a good comparison at all.

frick NO. He had a great year but it was only b\c Peyton Manning spreaded the ball out to him, wes welker, and the thomases.

Teams werent able to double cover any of their receivers so they all were allowed to put up great stats.

Decker would suck dick as a #1 option

Decker to me would be like Pierre Garcon. Decent enough alone, but looks like a great #1 option with Manning throwing him the ball. Decker should never go to a team as the #1 option because he just simply won't produce that well without those other options. Decker would be best suited as a #2 or a slower slot receiver.

Nelson is more deserving of a 3 year 13.35 mil contract. He's a legit #1. Decker is not.

Jordy is a fricking monster. You just wanted to compare to another white receiver with good numbers. Jordy has Jason Avant hands. He drops nothing.
