Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Right away, Edwards seemed to benefit from the change of scenery, making a few impressive catches and scoring a TD on Monday night Week 5 in Miami days after being dealt to the Jets. In his first two games with the Jets, he recorded a respectable seven catches for 153 yards. Then, as the Jets didn't prove to be much more respectable than the Browns he left, the numbers slipped. In the last three games: seven catches for 95 yards. Add an embarrassing wide open drop that nullified a certain touchdown last night, and it looks like Braylon is back to square one. Matt Millen might have commented that that was a deceptively difficult catch. Perhaps. But it's also one a starting receiver is expected to always make in the NFL.
Now that Mark Sanchez hurt his knee failing the Joe Girardi sliding test, will Braylon entirely lose focus down the stretch? If the Jets are to maintain any semblance of playoff hopes, their early season acquisition has to step it up.

People in Detroit quivered, afraid that Matt Millen might try to draft him from the broadcast booth.

millen: this has become the braylon edwards show.
millen is worse than tony kornhiser, or any other human who ever had a mike. can you imagine millen and dan dierdorf doing a game together?

He’s just Braylon being Braylon. Throw the ball high, throw it low, throw it behind him. Just don’t throw it right to him because he will drop it.
He’s the same Braylon who played in Cleveland. See why they didn’t have a problem trading him Jets fans. How good of a trade does it look like now?

The only way they are going to get anything out of Braylon aka "Iron hands) is if they use a gallon of stick-em on each hand. He is a primma donna and he only plays when he wants too. I know the NFL is a business however you have to have your heart into it and that is what I question about BE. K2 put it best when he said Braylon is "soft." I personally think he is in it just for the money and the only stepping up Braylon will do is when he is done with the game and gets into his Hummer. Kellen Winslow is way better that BE will ever be.

how are "the jets not much more respectable than the browns"? aren’t the browns like 1 -11? I guess there’s nothing better to do in the sticks than bash braylon.
