I thought he had some great years in miami. Not the most sure handed, but made some big plays. ESPN said last night there's 2.25 mil left on his deal this year, so any team picking him up will have to pay that. They mentioned Miami & Baltimore as possibilities.
He had some decent seasons but he's not much more than a glorified Rod Gardner. For every spectacular play, he drops too many of the routine ones.

His best season was his rookie year. He had some other 1,000 yard 8-10 TD years (year?), but those were years where he was seeing 60% of the offense thrown his way, frankly, anyone could have done that.
I think he could get open a lot better than our current WR corps, but what's the point if he's just going to Lloyd the football.

would that make him a 60/40 maybe? 55/45?

You so sure about that? Our young receivers haven't exactly been the model of professionalism since arriving. Kelly and Thomas report to their first camp out of shape. Davis and Thomas couldn't get on the field because they didn't earn coaches trust that they knew the playbook. Then when they've had chances to make plays, they've rarely come through. The slow progression of our young recievers is more on them than JC in my opinion.
How long has JC been playing for the skins and how long can we keep making excuses for him. Every new year comes new excuses.

He's only had one 1,000 yd season

Why do we obsess over every bum that hits the waiver wires? Oh never mind.

Most of your arguement has everything to do with Hixon, Hixon, Hixon.
Otherwise, Oline is horrid this yr and needs revamping.
HCing change and QB change should resolve it's own problem hopefully at season's end.
