Kizer led the NFL in INTs with 22. How many more were dropped by the defense.

2016 Britt didnt have any problem getting open and catching the ball after 3 years in the Rams offense and with only Case Keenum throwing the ball. Britt must have clicked with Keenum and thats important. You watched a new QB in Tennessee every year.

 

Do you really think you need to tell anyone on this board that Kizer struggled - especially the guy who called him the Forfeit?

That said, if you're going to argue all Britt needed was an accurate QB for much better production - in this comparison Britt had 2 receptions per game with Kizer and only 2 receptions in 3 games played with Brady.  As I said to you already - the experienced Brady preferred the receivers that get open and run good routes. 

You can celebrate that 2016 exception to the rule all you want.   I'm not nearly as impressed with a 1st round NFL WR that has played 9 years and only exceeded 42 receptions once and only exceeded 775 yards once while averaging only 3.5 TDs a year. 

FWIW, I tried to talk myself into him too when he was 1 of the only available veteran WRs that would have touched our 2017 situation with a 10 foot pole.

Britt was a cancer. 

He whined and cried the whole time. 

He groaned about playing in London. 

He stayed out all night with Coleman partying the night before Hogan got his one and only start. 

Shmuck him and his 500,000 dollars per catch salary...

But somehow 2016 Britt racked up 1000 yards and 5 TDs.

2017 Larry Fitzgerald 1156 yards and 6 TDs. Garbage.

😄 Come on Lancelot - all that sniffing Britt's garbage is making you silly!  There's nothing garbage about Fitzgerald's 109 receptions in his 14th NFL season in 2017 - that's why you made sure you didn't include them.

Here's Fitzgerald's career stats where his average # of receptions, yards and TDs blow away Kenny Britt's. In fact, count how many times he had more than Britt's career best of 68 rec and 1002 yards.

Kizer struggled? He has no business in the NFL, so stop acting like Britt had anyone competent throwing the ball in Cleveland. Yew, had his playcalling duties stripped. What were you expecting from Britt? To light up the AFCN?

Do you really think that a player can to go to a new team and not have a learning curve? Forget about Briit last year in NE. He was not in the NE training camp.

His number are not nearly as dire as you make them out to be. In 92 games, Briit has averaged 52 yards a game, 3 receptions per game.

4 seasons of at least 681 yards and 3 TDs

2010 - 12 games 42 receptions, 775 yards and 9 TDs

2011- 3 games 17 receptions, 289 yards and 3 TDs.

If he makes the team its not because of Edelman. Its because NE sees potential.

😄 So, you're blaming Kenny Britt's disappointing 9 year career as a 1st round WR all on Kizer when they were only sentenced to each other for 9 games?  The numbers reflect Britt only averaged 2.8 receptions per game with just 570 yards and 3.5 TDs per season.  He was very consistent at being inconsistent all except 1 of the 9 years.

can we not bring up kizer, like at all? honest to god id gotten him out of my system and essentially forgot who are qb was last year. Obviously if pressed i would rem it but id done a goid job of putting the chargers and packers game, among others, in the back of my mind. Its the same weedons time here, u technically remember it but the vividness is mercufully diminished. I saw the shovelpass live and its something i never thought, until kizer came along, that id see its equal in stupidity

Why not? As I said when we signed him- beware of guys coming off of contract years. Hah- he's so great, his current contract with the Patriots is only around $500k more than vet minimum. Looking at spotrac, almost none of that is guaranteed. He can be cut at any time, and it only costs Bill and the Patriots $150k to make him go away.

Britt had a season as good as Fitzgerald.

You think that Antonio Brown could come to the Browns last year and Kizer would be Ben. Hallucinations are no laughing matter.

We can see that - but you're sharing them anyway so I'm 😄

Telling me 68 receptions in 2016 is as good as Larry's 107 receptions in the same year is hallucinating...  As I said, Fitzgerald had 109 receptions a year later in his 14th NFL season.

Thinking Britt is as good as Larry Fitzgerald is hallucinating.

Britt's career stats show a disappointing 8 years of 9 and you're telling me that's all because of the 9 weeks had had to spend with Kizer in 2017 which went a lot better than 2 rec for 23 yards 0 TDs in the 3 weeks he spent w/ Brady/BB in NE.

Lancelot, you got more "yeah but" than a Budweiser Frog Commercial.  I'm all done with this topic. There's nothing more to say.  Why don't you share your school girl crush on the guy with NE fans.

Foolgel do you understand that Britts 14 yards per reception is better than Fitzgeralds 10 yards per reception? Britt achieved virtually the same yards and TDs as a HOFer with less receptions. 

Im not saying that Britt is Fitzgerald, but you keep on blathering about that. Youre saying Britt is garbage and that is nonsense. Throughout Britts career he has shown flashes of being very good.

Using the Browns last year as evidence that Britt is a bum is really goofy. Britt was brought in to replace Pryor who had 1000 yards in 2016.

The NFL does not work like baseball Foolgel where you plug in a new shortstop and keep on winning. You just dont understand though. How are the Indians doing?

I have a compromise that hopefully both of you can agree on:

BOTH Kizer and Britt sucked swamp water.

OK...will that do it for you?

Actually...it can.  If you have a QB like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady etc......you CAN just plug in a new WR and keep on winning.  Those QBs have proven it. 

What you cannot do is to plug in a mediocre, or worse WR, and expect a losing team to start winning. (which seems to be what you are arguing about Britt)

They have to learn the teams offense and terminology.

Its not that easy.

No, I am arguing that Britt has shown flashes of being very good.

Well....sure, anyone that puts on an NFL uniform, even a training camp grunt has to learn his teams  terminology....and what to do at whatever position he plays.    And, I suppose that he did show flashes of being good, it is why the Browns signed him.   But...where were ANY of those flashes here?  Nowhere clearly.  John Dorsey could not wait to dump this guy.  I think he did it within like 24 hours of being hired here.

Thanks for the reminder. Pryor gave us over 1000 yards on a team that went 1-15 with QBs like Kessler, Whitehurst, Hogan and RG3andout.   Britt came here for way more money and gave us far less effort and production with the guy that beat out Kessler.  NOBODY except maybe Poe wanted Kizer replaced more than me last year.  That doesn't mean Britt didn't perform anywhere near like a 1st round WR in 2015, 2104, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  

As I said before, I lived in Nashville throughout Britt's disappointing tenure on and off the field as a 1st round draft pick. THAT, not to be confused with just 9 games with Kizer, was enough of a 1st impression to justify why I think he sucks.  Already told you that earlier in our discussion but it's not what your Kizer alibi wanted to hear.  In a 9 year career, Britt had only 1 year that resembled 1st round performance (not to be confused with 9 forgettable weeks in Cleveland). 

If he wasn't on NE's roster - we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

Not true at all.

Just looking at Britts entire body of work. Like his 3 games with 3 TDs and approximately 300 yards.

Where he was drafted is irrelevant at this point.

Britt did not get a fair shake in Cleveland, but he also should not have shot his way out of town. So, I can see why you would be upset.
