Davante Adams to Jets is like Herman Moore to Giants

Rich_Houston_1971 : 10/15/2024 2:27 pm
I can help but think the Jets trade today reminded me when the Giants picked up another aging veteran WR Herman Moore years ago and it turned out to be an epic disaster.

Davante Adams has checked out as a player. He gave virtually no effort in LV.
LOL

Adams is 31 years old. He’s not completely washed like Herman was here.
Not even close

Herman Moore couldn't even run, basically, when we got him. He couldn't play. Adams, may be older, but can play, even if not at the elite level he was at.
Adams looks pretty spry in those Taco Bell commercials

HIs hammy will heal pretty miraculously next time Aaron tells him to go deep!

LOL
I don't think so, I think Davante is done

He hasn't practiced in over a month and he doesn't block or give any effort to run his routes..he is not a motivated player these days.

Read the LV sports newspapers..they are saying this is addition by subtraction for Raiders.

It's a good question as to whether he is dogging it in LV at this point.

Because what you are describing has more to do with effort and work ethic, as opposed to ability.

Hmm, you don't think the team he is playing for effects this?
Moore was a corpse

Who had to learn the offense. Adams knows Rodgers's O.

Correct, However Ability doesn't mean jack if you don't have effort and work ethic..thus he will have the same effect as wehn giants got Hermann Moore. Hermann gave no effort when he was here.

But, Moore also couldn't run. I think the Jets are probably banking on Adams changing his tune being paired with Rodgers again.
Moore was a free agent signing  
Matt in SGS : 10/15/2024 4:44 pm : link
who was sitting at home doing nothing. He got in 1 game vs the Texans and then retired.

Adams is closer to the Percy Harvin trade the Jets made years ago. Rarely does a mid season trade have a big impact during that year in the NFL, I'm sure someone can think of one that really worked in recent years, but you don't get an Eric Dickerson to the Colts thing where he rushed for 1000 yards in like 8 games for Indy and helped them win the division in 1987.

had 103 receptions for 1144 yards and 8 TDs. Last year. With Jimmy G and Aiden OConnell as his QBs. He's 31 years old.
