D.Jax vs. Branch (1 Viewer)

[NYCGangGreen]

With Hasselback close to returning as the starter and S.A. almost back (?) , of the 2 WR's who do you see putting up bigger numbers?

DJax has the familiarity with the team but will he be able to stay healthy?

Branch was starting to look real good with Matt H. and even good with Seneca.

So who do you think closes out stronger?

Wow, great insight guys.....I really like your analysis.

Keep it up, This stuff is gold!

I praying for DJax, so I think god is on his side.

If you wanted insight you shouldn't have made this a poll. Making it a poll makes it to easy to respond without insight.

In my opinion, you left off the obvious choice - whichever one doesn't get injured. Neither one of these guys has a very strong history of avoiding injuries so it seems pretty likely that one of them will end up missing games.

If the both stay healthy, I'd go with DJax, but it will still be close.

it'll be a tossup each week - they will end with very similar numbers.

Branch has not had 1 week with more targets in a game than Jackson.

Jackson is the clear choice here.

yeah but Branch catches all of the balls thrown his way - it evens it out... flip a coin - they'll both have pretty good numbers .

Hmm, didn't know that DJAX had a rep for dropping a lot of balls till now.

Then let me rephrase:Branch only has 1 week with more catches in a game than Jackson.I think Jackson is still clearly the #1 option getting the most opportunities.

Sadly I traded away DJax, but without question he is the choice here. He is simply better. Touchdowns are flukey, so it's conceivable Branch will end up with more points, but even with that Jackson has a td in nearly every game he has played. I think he stays on the field from here on out and continues his march of terror through a LOT of fluffy secondaries.

Branch can catch fish better.

DJax is 30 targets ahead. More opportunity = more production.

you do realize that Branch joined the Seahawks late, don't you? I think the fair comparison is starting in week 4. jackson has 46 and Branch has 38 - roughly a difference of 1 target per game. Less jackson's obligatory 1 drop per game and there you have it.

branch held out the first 2 games... you also have to take into account that there was a period of transition for branch and hasslebeck/wallace... if you add up the targets for the last 4 games for both djax and branch, it's much closer than you imply... they are both getting a ton of targets every game

I agree with this......it takes time to come in, figure out the new scenery, get some chemistry with your new QB so that you can play well.I honostly feel that there won't be much of a difference between the two the 2nd half of the season.

I think if healthy DJax is the definate #1 here. He already has great chemistry w/hasselbeck, who should be back next week.
