Two questions; where I'm just going to give some simple options, and ask which would you prefer.

Question 1)
Which would you prefer from a WR?

A) 4 catches for 51 yards with 2 first downs and 2 TDs?
B) 5 catches for 44 yards with 3 first downs and 0 TDs?
C) 5 catches for 47 yards with 3 first downs and 0 TDs?

Question 2)
Which would you prefer from a WR?

A) 4 catches for 51 yards and 2 TDs?
B) 10 catches for 93 yards and 0 TDs?
C) 14 catches for 104 yards and 0 TDs?

What answers did you select?

Explaining what this question is all about:

Don't read this until after making your selections

Show Spoiler

I know not all things are equal... (IE QB/defense they play with/against) BUT
In week 1, it can be argued that James Jones out played both the #1 WRs of the teams he was released/cut from and depending how much value you put on TDs vs catches/yards also could be argued that he outplayed the whole other roster of WRs

Options A1 and A2 were James Jones week 1 stat line,
Option B1 was Giants' #1 WR Beckham and B2 was all of Giants WR week 1 stats
Option C1 was Raiders' #1 WR Cooper and C2 was all of Raiders WR week 1 stats

Again, not all things were equal, and it was only one week, but still... pretty impressive week compared to those he was released/cut for... stat wise.

Question 1 lacks something I need to know. You don't list Touchdowns, okay, but with the receptions 1 apart and yards just 7 apart the question doesn't really seem of value to me on the surface. If you added how many of those receptions went for 1st downs, then we have something to distinguish them.

Question 2 you gotta take the (at least) 12 points.

BTW, I love when folks use some of the website and forum features like you did with the Spoiler tags! 😃

I'm glad you loved it... and I enjoy the spoiler option, just never really had a reason to use it.
Also I noticed you loved it so much that you applauded it! 😉 😝
But thank you for the spoiler option (and other options) and saying you enjoyed it 😁

IMO JJ's current value is his ability to go up and fight for the ball.

Look at all three TDs this past week. Mike doesn't scheme to get guys open. He knows he'll get outsmarted most of the time in a chess match. He schemes for match ups.

Janis has raw skills, but he's not gonna go up and fight for that ball. He's a body catcher. It has to come to him.

There are far to many variables to make it a simple answer but since the simple answer is what you want I'll take the two TDs and answer A for each question.

beast (5h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (5h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (5h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (5h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (7h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (7h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (7h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (21h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
