Dennis came here and worked hard from day 1. Lets wish him the best and thank him for his effort. Its funny how everyone seems to remember a few bad drops. Had he not been here, things would have been far worse…… Thanks Dennis. Good Luck!

Last year I was pulling my hairs out towards the end of the season after seeing him play the way he did… I was like “Why haven’t they been playing him until now?!?!?” He was playing his ass off at the end… drops may have had a little to do with nerves, esp when the team needs a play and your the only one who can run a decent route. It just goes to show how strong the Jaguars think this new receiving corps is… Best wishes Dennis!

I missed the part where the wide receiver corps was good enough to let Dennis Northcutt go. In place of the chronic underachievers, the Jaguars have……what? Three late-round rookies? An aging veteran who’s already played his best football?

Holt is the best receiver that’s been here since Jimmy Smith, but beyond that, how are we to know Tiquan Underwood is a Marques Colston rather than a John Broussard? These rookies have never been through an NFL training camp with full pads, let alone played a down of professional football. I really freaking hope they turn out to be good, but rookie wide receivers typically contribute very little and struggle to adjust to the higher level of competition.

A few years from now, this receiving corps could be great, maybe even feared league-wide. But that is not 2009, and this receiving corps is still not good enough to cut a hard-working guy, who is a great teammate with perfectly mediocre talent (great by Jaguars WR standards), like Dennis Northcutt.

interested, I would give him a chance in training camp. He is just better then Williamson.
He can be a playmaker (last games of last season). If noone is interested I would not cut him. But that is just me.

Jag’s management were hoping players would outperform normal expectations. You can’t design a team on this philosphy. The numbers are there. If it happens… bonus, but don’t plan a season around it. I’ll be surprised if Troy Williamson isn’t on the heels of Dennis. I would have probably booted Williamson first. Got to be a money issue.

If we let him shop now, we’ll reap the best value in a trade or draft pick.

This team must build through the draft to survive financially and win in the long run.

 First, i respect Northcutt was a man and as our previous #1 WR. I feel like he was never supposed to be a #1 WR, instead a slot or #2 WR. So I say he did hs best in a position where we had alot of crappy WRs, and thats all i can ask. Now also, why do people demand his head now that we have 4 new recievers, (along with a couple Training camp guys), when he can still be a good WR, in the slot or else, and help Torry mentor our “hopefully positive” future WRs. If we can get something good for Northcutt in a trade and Northcutt wants to do it, then i say go for it, but if he never asked for and he’s still of use, let him catch.

Matt Jones, A real letdown, i questioned his pick every since i heard he was changing positions, when do you do a 1st rounder on some1 who has not played that position before? Blatantly horrible.

Troy Williamson, He’s an R.J. Soward. Can run fast but has “Butterfingers”. Let him go if you can’t get at least a 7th for him.

Lets get those Rookie WRs whipped into NFL shape, and a respectable reciever corps, to relieve the run game, which opposing Defs will target now that we have gotten O-line updated along with MJD;s contract and our “backfield by Commitee”.

The rest of those pathetic WRs you covered perfectly.

Ey whats up BCC??? Long time, no talk. Good to be back though. Here is what I believe is going on with Northcutt. Although I do think he really started to come on during those last few games, I think I know what Gene and Jack are thinking……(I am not a psychic). There are 3 kinds of receivers. Speed, possession, and slot. Of course we all know Dennis played the slot and he was’nt bad, but he was’nt great either. Dillard and Thomas are slot receivers also. We just have too many of them. Just because a player is great at a position, does’nt mean you can overload your team with them. Do you want 11 Jones-Drew clones on the field at one time?? It does’nt work like that. Your slot receiver runs the sneaky route and is supposed to be able to get open from your other, main receivers drawing attention. Like a second tight end you know? Catch the defense by surprise. I didn’t say “Wow” enough last season, or the one before. So its a overload at the slot position and they feel he has the least upside. Does anyone agree with me????

Williamson brings the speed aspect. We cant get rid of him because him and Underwood are our only true speed receivers. Even though I really dont know why we got him in the first place. He has’nt proved anything.

I meant that they are the receivers that fit the physique of a typical speed receiver. Tall, slim and fast. Walker is fast, but he has some meat on him and is very strong. He could double as a possession receiver. The typical slot receiver is shorter, still fast though, and runs good routes.
