Kenny Britt WILL be a #1 WR in 2014 (1 Viewer)

Tennessee Titans impending free-agent WR Kenny Britt said he expects to be a No. 1 receiver for a team next season. "I am going to be a No. 1 receiver somewhere else if I am not here next year, and that is guaranteed," Britt said Thursday. "I am definitely going to be a receiver that makes plays on Sundays and makes something happen for a team."

I have definitely seen some BIG playmaking ability along side some of the biggest doughnuts since this guy started playing!
I will definitely lean toward my opinion on the Titans being a absolute HORRIBLE roster for Britt. Im hoping he goes to NE, or somewhere WR needy with a good Veteran QB as their starter! He doesn't need a Brian Hoyer/Jason Cambell... or "2014" Carson Palmer throwing to him.

 
He'll do it on someone else's roster.

Edit. *Fantasy roster. It won't be mine. He's talented, but he's a moron.

It appears Britt hasn't watched much of his 2013 film — what little there is for a player who's been a healthy scratch twice in the past three weeks. "I am going to tell you: I am going to be a No.1 receiver somewhere else if I am not here next year, and that is guaranteed," Britt proclaimed Thursday. "I am definitely going to be a receiver that makes plays on Sundays and makes something happen for a team." Britt was shaping up as a special talent before his 2011 knee injury, but just hasn't been the same since. Still only 25, Britt has bounce-back potential, but it's extremely unlikely he'll emerge as someone's No. 1

Dez did it. So did Gordon. Both are equally as dumb and only slightly more talented.

They've done it with one team and they don't have Britt's injury history.

I've got him in a bunch of dynasty leagues and this is my big concern -- he just flat out hasn't been the same guy on the field since the multiple knee surgeries. The dumb off field stuff is no big deal IMO -- if a guy can play he'll be out there. But I don't know if Britt can play anymore. Holding (rather than selling for a pittance or cutting him, anyway) and hoping for the best, while fully expecting to go down with the ship as he fades into obscurity...

 
Britt's issues this season weren't due to his tendency to get arrested on a monthly basis. It's because he can't catch. Dez and Gordon are not only "slightly more talented". There was a time I believed this, but that is no longer the case. Maybe he will surprise me. But I doubt it. He has been flat out awful this year.

Kenny Britt from September 2011 could be the top WR on a ton of NFL teams. 2013 Kenny Britt not so much even for those two IMO. We'll see which guy shows up next fall, and where. IMO how much $$$ he gets offered and from which teams will be pretty telling -- and my gut tells me that's it's not gonna be much, and not from a smart FO.

 
He's a different player physically now. Simply not the same as he was. Couple that with a storeful of reg flags and you are looking at a guy who will have to beg for a camp invite.

As of right now, he's not in my top 60 wr.

He's strictly a spec play in deeper leagues. Wouldn't roster him in either a 10 or 12 team league. Maybe in a 14+ teamer.

If you're talking typical dynasty setup that's a huge over-reaction to this year's crappy showing. He's absolutely worth rostering -- even if you have zero faith in him as a player it's pretty dumb to cut him now before finding out where he lands. If nothing else people will be talking about him in August and you'll be able to recoup a late rookie pick or something.

 
In the one ten team league I play in, which is a partial keeper league with 180 total players rostered- he's on waivers.

One league does not a trend make, but at this point, he's not in my early top 200 overall.

Britt has made one exceptional half-season turn into a unjustified 4 year fascination among many ff players. He's injury riddled, makes terrible off the field decisions, and has no consistency.

If you feel differently, that's cool. I'm just a big believer.

OK that's reasonable -- I wrongly assumed that you were talking dynasty -- my bad. I haven't done any rankings lately, but I'm guessing he'll fall in the WR75 - WR100 type area if / when I do a set this offseason. Mainly on the chance he signs in NE or Indy or something and a sell window opens up in the hype storm that follows...

He is one the worst at catching easy passes...one of the worst ever. The better he got, the better timing he and the QB had led to more "right to ya" passes that he'd drop. You can't coach that.

Fisher has been coaching a team desperate for a #1 and Schwartz has been coaching a team that could sooo use a threat opposite Calvin and his college coach might even be Tampa's now....no one showed an interest. When the trade deadline was near, nothing materialized. Word is the Titans were not looking for much and that also is pretty telling.

When he was "great" the Eagles played the worst game I've ever seen DBs play and if I'm not mistaken two were cut that week and one more a week later; I'm going to guess Reid agrees with my assessment. We have rarely ever seen a WR so wide open and on top of that he got 200ish yards? That game got so overblown.

He has excellent physical "stats" and is an impressive athlete. He can make some one handed grabs that will make your jaw drop and also muscle his way to some tough grabs too. It is the most mind numbing thing to watch someone with his talent drop a ball right to him. Over and over, you're seriously thinking of banging your head into a wall. This might make another coach try and work with him on his focus and concentration, but that wears thin too when he spends so much time getting in trouble.

He hasn't been in trouble in a while.

He hasn't been good since Moss was there. He doesn't run as hard as he used to. He rarely tries for low passes and "stretches" anymore and ...I don't know what the deal is there. Was he all excited he was better than an ancient Moss in practice? They gave him his crow, it didn't help. Wright and Nate work hard and get results. He had examples.

He is oh so much like Lions WRs of years ago.

 
There are major differences between Britt, Dez, and Gordon in my opinion. As already mentioned the most obvious is injury history. But I think there is a clear difference in worth ethic as well. While you could make the case that all 3 are boneheads, Dez and Gordon clearly have a strong work ethic and desire to perform when it comes to the game. I don't see that in Britt. Probably the most glaring difference besides all that is Dez and Gordon can actually catch. Britt sometimes seems to have hands of stone. I've seen him drop so many catches for no good reason whatsoever

It wasn't just one game man -- in the 13 games he played in 2010 / 2011 he put up 1064 - 12 TDs, which is absurd for a young WR with crappy QBs in a run first system. He absolutely was great. Period, full stop.

Unfortunately that guy is likely a distant memory only at this point in time.

 
Britt in NY would be a disaster. His hometown Bayonne is 15 minutes away and that's not a good thing.

 
This guy is a world class turd and I look forward to laughing out loud whenever he is drafted during my redraft

Cmon Mrs Britt. I know you love your son, but this is a little overboard. We all watch football here, there isn't any reason you can trick us.

1000 is great?

His career is LOADED with one and two catch games-regardless of benching(odd but true) his experience or who the QB is.

Kerry Collins was fine. Hasselbeck was fine. Fitz, for the most part, has been fine. They were all veterans that...did fine. No one expected them to be world beaters, just vets brought in.

Vince Young, Locker, and even Rusty Smith all seemed to produce the same results throwing to Britt.

I am not a fan of Fitz or Locker and want them to get new QBs, but it can't be fair to give Britt a mulligan due to QB play and ignore Nate and Kendall's success with the same QBs.

Truth is somewhere in the middle.

Pre-ACL injury the difference in his production was startling when he got at least average NFL QB play. Take a look at his game logs with Kerry Collins or Hassellbeck as his QB vs Vince Young and it was a night and day difference.

Before he blew out his knee this guy was a monster and he was very Josh Gordon like in that he did not need an elite QB to be a stud, he just needed someone at least serviceable under center.

That was all before his ACL however. The issue with Britt is most of us are inclined to be dismissive of long term impacts of ACL's any longer. Seems like everyone is back to normal in two years if not sooner. Britt is the exception. He's a throwback player. Just not in a good way. He's like from an era when ACL injuries ended your career.

I don't know if he failed to properly rehab, tried to return to soon, got re-injured or what happened but post-ACL Britt is another player entirely. When he blew last year we all chalked it up as poor QB play but more than that some of us just figured he was one of those guys who needed two years to get over his ACL. No problem in that many of us thought, not everyone can be ADP or Charles.

He's just not the same guy any more and since I can't come up with a modern era player, or any era player, who took 3 year to get back to normal from a knee surgery and I doubt he ever will be.

He was not inactive this year due to disciplinary issues. He did not lose his spot in the rotation due to anything other than he can't get open and he can't catch. He was the worst WR on the team all year. I don't see how changing teams is really going to help any of that.

Not sure exactly what you were expecting out of a 2nd / 3rd year WR but 1064 / 12 in 13 games paces out to 1300 / 15 for a full season. If that's not great in your eyes, your standards are pretty ridiculous.

 
Besides Injury, and not getting along or agreeing with the coaching staff... Looking at his stats since 09', he actually does put up a good amount of points WHEN named a starter. Its not new news, he IS going to another team in 2014, and demands the #1 WR position. As people said St. Louis, I say a possibility would be Carolina also

I wouldn't mind see him pair up with Cam. Price cant be TOO expensive, right?

Because you took two seasons, squished parts of them to make them one and now are hashing that out to 16 games.

I actually owned him in FF and both years- he was not great.

As I said before, his TD per game was excellent.

Missing five games for "pattern of behavior" wasn't.

Five games with less than 50 yards wasn't nor were all the two and three catch games.

2011 He started with two 100+ yard games looked special and then got hurt in week three and was done.

Go back to 2010, he did well in weeks 14,15, and 16. What about the other non-Philly weeks? To start him for the FF playoffs was difficult. Count on the TD(which seemed to good to be true, each week) or the 2 for 33 yards?

the problem is WHY he's not named the starter . . .

I am glad it was Britt rather than a football guy saying this. I had a flashback to the multiple old William Green threads started by George Jefferson.

Yes. There are definitely different types of boneheads. Dez and Gordon are the types of boneheads that I view as a pretty sure bet to produce when they are on the field.

Britt seems like a lazy worker, does much dumber things off the field, and seems distracted on the field. PLus of course he had a major injury, and major injury + lazy isn't a good thing.

That said, hell yeah I would roster him. Wouldnt be surprised if he still ends up being really good somewhere for a couple years.

 
If you combine Britt's stats for the last 3 seasons you still don't have #1 WR production.

Total stats - last 3 years combined:

- 17 games started

- 73 receptions

- 974 yards

- 7 TD's

He's not fooling anyone anymore.
