Shelve the guy, let Felton get some run at receiver, and live to fight another day. Zero reason to risk the franchise player playing in meaningless, end of season games.
I believe it is important to Jefferson. Wasn't there a big drama event with the previous coach not getting him his yards? Jefferson is a competitor. You don't sit everyone and build good will for next year by sitting healthy people just short of milestones.

Thats fine, but the alternative possibility is what I laid out and the way this season has gone, I certainly wouldn't tempt fate in a meaningless game. Jefferson needs to see the big picture and while he may be a competitor and want to play, that decision should be taken out of his hands

You take that out of his hands you go from a guy that is a good supportive teammate, to a disgruntled employee in a flash. He's got fame, he's got money. He's got records, but he still wants to have a say in his life and imo its his decision. He's playing for pride and we dont want him to lose that.

So do we care about any of that stuff if he blows his knee out? I certainly don't. Everything at this point is building towards next year and Jefferson should understand his significance in that and put aside meaningless personal accomplishments in a meaningless season

Hes just been given a front row seat to how fragile their careers are, he loves the game, you cam see it in how he reacts to others success around him, its genuine, he's not doing it for some benchmark. He knows his time is limited and doesnt want to waste any time IMO, regardless of the risk.

Chiefs doing it right. Shut down Rashee Rice, Thornton, and both starting corners for the season. But boy, I sure hope Jefferson gets his 1,000 yards

Could be those guys aren't fully healthy, could be those guys dont want to play. And I too hope Jets gets his 1000 yards as that maybe means Brosmer has a future role with the team, and maybe we get to knock the lions and or packers out of the playoffs. Also maybe it means KOC figures out a way to scheme Jets open more for the young QBs to be able to take advantage of.

I suspect Jetta wants to play today
With 27 yards, he will pass Vikings legend Randy Moss (8,375) for the most receiving yards in a player’s first six seasons in NFL history.
With 83 yards, Jefferson will join Moss and the Buccaneers’ Mike Evans as the only receivers with six straight 1,000-yard seasons to begin a career.
Tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back Jordan Mason — have been ruled out against Detroit because of injuries. They were among five players declared out on Dec. 24, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy (right hand), center Ryan Kelly (concussion) and tight end Gavin Bartholomew (back).
Quarterback Max Brosmer will have a patchwork offensive line in his second NFL start. Right tackle Brian O’Neill is listed as questionable because of a heel injury he played through last week. Offensive lineman Blake Brandel would replace O’Neill if needed. Center Michael Jurgens will start for Kelly, whose season is over after he was placed on injured reserve Dec. 24 due to his third concussion of the year.
Hockenson emerged from last week’s win at New York with a back injury that prevented him from practicing. This is Hockenson’s first missed game since he returned from his 2023 knee injury.

Im sure the NFL frowns sitting healthy stars on prime time games. Unless it's preseason and the still charge full ticket prices

Sure Brosmer laid an egg when the hype was highest, but what he did last week should have us all excited again. Why not? This is where we are and it ain’t changin fellas. Hope you all enjoy tomorrow as well.
**And if the Bro show does nothing for you, I did a 5 pick mock yesterday for shits and giggles and came out really happy with the possibilities
15.Caleb Downs, S Ohio State
46.A'Mauri Washington, DT Oregon
80.Jake Golday, LB Cincinnati
97.Jadarian Price, RB Notre Dame
154. CJ Daniels, WR Miami (FL)
I'm gonna try. Lots of family and food and fun around today so if the playoff-eliminated Vikings lay an egg, I should be fairly well insulated from the normal pain today.
Merry Christmas everybody. Skol!
