I hope Jernigan will NOT make the 53 roster

Rosemarie : 8/19/2014 4:36 pm
So sick of hearing about this guy!

He has been on this team for 5 years and he still hasn't make a relevant impact. He's only had that three game stretch at the end of last year when Cruz was down. SO if Cruz is going to play the slot, where do you put Jernigan? We have Cruz, Beckum (if he ever decides to see the field), Randle (yawn), Mario Manningham (should be the last WR on the chart) and now with the emergence of Corey Washington, I highly doubt we see any sign of Jernigan on this roster in the 2014 season.

Just another boneheaded draft choice by Jerry Reese!
hes a backup slot, nothing more.

Thank goodness you are not part of the Giants front office

I've seen some mindless posts this week, but yours takes the cake.

I guess you also hope the Giants will NOT have a passing game?

He's one of our better, receivers and when given a chance, proven he's reliable and productive. I guess that's not important to you?
So there!

It's entirely possible that Jernigan will be utilized more in this offense even with Cruz on the field. He's yet to show enough this pre-season and it's clear there's a split on him both amongst fans and even within the organization. He clearly needs to earn his spot but I haven't entirely lost faith in him.

I'm going to give it the rest of camp until cuts have to be made. Because if he has a good game Friday, a post like this might seem a little less rational.
You can hope, but once Mara named him last offseason, he was  
Riggies : 8/19/2014 4:41 pm : link
guaranteed a roster spot this year.

Even then, this is his fourth year. Based on Barden and Sinorice, he'd get at least four anyway even without Mara's backing.

This thread is awesome.

I know.
How strange...I got a text from JJ late last night...  
okiegiant : 8/19/2014 4:53 pm : link
and he typed "I sure hope Rosemarie gets fired".

I had no idea what he was going on about but there you go. Must be some sort of history between these two.
They fuck you at the drive-through.

My take on that Mara quote  
Blue Baller : 8/19/2014 5:06 pm : link
is he was just using JJ as an example of the staffs inability to get players up to speed. it wasn't a vote of confidence for that specific player

Proven he's reliable and productive? To quote the famous line.

Proven. I don't think that word means what you think it means.
He backs up Cruz, that's all  
JohnB : 8/19/2014 6:02 pm : link
What do you want in a back up? Someone has to back him up. When Cruz went down last year, JJ did rather well, getting open, making catches and moving the chains. Ok so he's not Cruz. There is no shame in play behind VC.

Thanks  
Jerry in DC : 8/19/2014 6:22 pm : link
Brett. That's always a winner.
I have a feeling that jernigan will go to another team  
Geeman : 8/19/2014 6:32 pm : link
and find his niche as a slot player and be a lot more productive then he was given the opportunity to be here.
It's not his fault that Cruz developed into a PB player.
JJ vs RR

Who is the better receiver?
How many people that Coughlin has gotten rid offf  
RetroJint : 8/19/2014 9:13 pm : link
have done anything in the league? I wouldn't include Cofield because they wanted him but couldn't fit his salary. Go ahead anyway. Cofield. Who else? Hixon, Ward, Tollefson, Boss, Manningham, Jacobs. Young guys: Anybody he cut early hit their stride freed from Coughlin's feeble, autocratic ways? So JJ will flourish, correct? You just know it.

One of our better receivers, reliable and productive? I want some of what he is smoking.
Give Coughlin a call and tell him what you think

I think Jernigan  
Big Rick in FL : 8/19/2014 11:32 pm : link
Will be a solid player for us this year. He was not properly utitilized until late in the season and when he finally got a chance he played pretty well. I think that was a product of the offense we were running.

I think he will fit in much better in a modern day offense. Since college he has reminded me of a poor mans Percy Harvin (Except less injuries) and he finally showed that last year. He is a guy that we need to get the ball to in space. Bubble screens, swing passes, handoffs. He is extremely fast and his COD is very smooth. I know our season was finished by the time he started playing, but there really isn't many slot WRs who would beat out Victor Cruz. Against the Skins he had nearly 150 yards a rushing & receiving TD. In those 3 games he was targeted 27 times and had 19 catches. That should earn him a roster spot for this season.

Nobody can say Marcus Harris or Corey Washington are better as they have done absolutely nothing in a real NFL game against #1 defenses.
Like him or not, he is our 3rd WR  
NYGmen58 : 8/20/2014 12:23 am : link
and our #1 "Z" when Cruz is lined up in the slot.

He has been the best starting WR not only in preseason but since he was given a chance to play.

He's a terrible punt return option but he's one of out better and most important offensive players.

LOL at anyone who criticizes him!
jernigan drafted in april 2011  
aquidneck : 8/20/2014 4:51 am : link
It's been a short (I know, he's 5-8, no pun intended. Haha.) 5 years.
The most immediate threat to Jernigan might be Preston Parker.  
Big Blue Blogger : 8/20/2014 6:49 am : link
His body of work as an NFL slot receiver is actually better than Jernigan's, and he offers more on special teams - especially if Charles James doesn't claim the punt return job. He's not the home run threat Jernigan should be, but he's adequate in a wider variety of roles.
If you do not project him as at least an important package player  
Bob in Newburgh : 8/20/2014 10:16 am : link
If he is not going to at least be the guy who comes in and plays the slot in 3-WR or 4-WR packages, you should not keep him over the other young WRs.

He is in year 4 of a 4 year contract. His agent will make sure he is somewhere else next year if there is any interest at all. So he offers no upside developmental potential to the Giants. This assumes that Harris and Washington have shown enough for the coaches to believe that they do have developmental potential.

He make be a good slot receiver in this League, but it is not happening for the Giants.
He hasn't been here five years  
djm : 8/20/2014 10:24 am : link
He's entering his 4th year.
BBI next-day reaction if said-WR catches 3 passes vs Jets...  
Jimmy Googs : 8/20/2014 10:53 am : link
Cruz - "should be an All-Pro this year..."

Randle - "break out year..."

Jernigan - "Mara was right about this guy..."

Harris - "should be starting..."

Washington - "reminds me of Plaxico..."

Parker - "no way they keep JJ over him"

Manningham - "can't believe Giants ever let him go..."

Talley - "continues to flash, needs reps with #1s"
