First off, I don't think anyone is "hating" on the Decker signing. The thread topic is suggesting that Hickey makes moves to specifically counter what the Patriots(Revis) and Jets(Decker) did. I think a lot of us don't agree that moves have to be made specifically to counter.
Decker is a good player, not sure anyone is saying otherwise. He may be a #1 in New York, but on most teams he is a #2 and on some a #3. Without Peyton Manning throwing him the ball and the coverages that Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas demand it will be hard for Decker to have the success that he saw in Denver. Not a shot a Decker, it is just that the supporting cast he is walking into is nowhere near what he had in Denver that helped open things up for him and mask his flaws. His bloated stats from the past two seasons don't tell the whole story, and you should know that as you constantly preach stats don't tell all. I think he is probably just a notch below Brian Hartline. Decker is a good start for the Jets, but you need more. Much more. You at least need another WR or two and you need a quarterback.
I wouldn't say Geno Smith outplayed Tannehill this past season when they faced each other. In two meetings against the Dolphins, Smith had ZERO touchdown passes and one interception. He was also benched for poor play halfway through the first meeting. If you want to compare the full season between the two it wasn't even close. Smith sucked, Tannehill played well.
Not sure how you can say you have moved past us and suddenly can challenge the Patriots, when did that happen? We both finished 8-8 last season and your team is still thin at WR and lacks a QB.
