JFG isn't a great receiver and he never has been. No, he wouldn't be an upgrade over Carter. He brings in about 200 yards a season in receptions. He's ranked 52 in the league in receiving yards this year.
Isn't DC on pace for only 200 yards this year too??
Not like that dude is balling in '19.
As for JFG #52: it would be more fair to use his stats from WPG years and OTT last year. And I would concentrate on compl/attempt and YAC... minus the go routes!!
I think this is the case, their primary returner was injured earlier so JFG subbed in late in the game, I believe he did the same in Wpg. a few times. He isn't back there for his return ability but more for ball security reasons.
Ball security... how'd that work out for them?
I'll believe you guys that we had him return sometimes, because I sure don't remember that. There were some years we were desperate for returners though.
He's getting older now, I guess he's had a couple drops and if his hands aren't as good as they used to be, his value as a receiver is pretty much gone. But a few years ago the guy was a solid, reliable, tough player and maybe had the best hands on the team... maybe he gets another shot with a team that needs Canadian receivers.
Maybe! He has lost a step the last couple of games. But in some games he seems to pop up late and get a string of clutch receptions when no one else is open. We have to remember that he wasn't exactly in the best environment conducive to getting yards in OTT this year.
Ottawa Redblacks have signed returner Stefan Logan.
Woohoo! Good for Logan. Love watching the Septuagenarian. He'll break one out... If that fails, he can bop the cover team guys with his cane! (Joking aside, I really do like watching him.)
And right after his 76th birthday! Congrats to him!
Nasty! Love it!
