Mr Dee Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 What on earth are you basing your opinion of Jade on? What makes you think he will be adequate, let alone good? Jade has shown that certain 'je ne sais quoi' despite his youth and his being on this team and this crappy situation.(along with all the negativity he's seen) He can get open, he can make very nice catches and get yards after the catch. The guy has potential. He's been developing here and now he's being ruined here, in this program. The thing he can't do is develop an offence to throw him the damn ball. A functioning offence with a rotating Watson, Kohlert and Etienne would do us very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKAChip Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 Let's see now, Rory an undrafted free agent........Jade a first round pick..........gee which one should be the stud and which the dud. Given all the screaming around here about that 2nd to 4th round swap with the Riders I can't believe anyone would even be stupid enough or brash enough to bring this comparison up unless they were just trolling. In Calgary there's Brad Sinopoli. He was a Hec Creighton winning qb who sat on the bench for 3 seasons. He was converted to receiver this season at training camp, a position he's never played & the guy has been great. He catches everything & makes good YAC yards after each catch. We have a first round pick with 16 catches in 3 seasons & Sinipoli with just a few months of experience at receiver is outplaying Etienne. This is pretty much a terrible argument. Brad Sinopoli has 33 catches for 411 yards and zero touchdowns this year. Granted that's not bad production out of a 4th or 5th option but to say he's been great is vastly overrating the guy. Despite being in a vastly inferior offense and missing games, Kohlert has one fewer catch. I accept that his numbers are better than Etienne's are this year but as I believe Mike said before, when he's actually played, he's been getting separation and making plays which in this offense is saying quite a bit. Is he incredible? No, but to praise the accomplishments of a very average Brad Sinopoli who no doubt has been put in every position to succeed and has put up no better per-game numbers than Jade is insanity.

iso_55 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 It's all about opinions here. Just because you think your forest is better than mine doesn't make it right. or your opinion is better than anyone else who disagrees with you. We'll see how things shake out in the next year or if Etienne is even back here next season. As far as Sinopoli goes he's been playing receiver since training camp so about 16 weeks. He's had nothing given to him. He was the #4 qb & when Hufnagel requested he make the change to receiver he gave him no guarantees. Had he failed he'd have been cut.

Floyd Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Etienne might have been an 'okay' pick if we had some ni depth and he could develop... Coehoorn was the real jewel in that draft lots of guys knew it Plain and simple, it was a bad pick for the bombers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rids Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Career numbers: Nate Coehoorn - 85 catches for 1,152 yards and 1 TD + 5 tackles, 7 special teams tackles http://cfl.ca/roster/show/id/3687 Marco Iannuzzi - 58 catches for 634 yards and 7 TDs, 7 carries for 53 yards + 2 tackles and an INT; 24 Punt Returns + 7 KO returns http://cfl.ca/roster/show/id/2011 Kito Poblah - 53 catches for 534 yards and 1 TD + 1 special teams tackle http://cfl.ca/roster/show/id/4435 Jade Etienne - 20 catches for 276 yards and 2 TDs + 2 tackles http://cfl.ca/roster/show/id/1745 Anthony Parker - 21 catches for 260 yards and 1 TD, 5 carries for 36 yards + 2 tackles, 8 special teams tackles and an INT; 2 punt returns + 4 KO returns http://cfl.ca/roster/show?id=1927 My thoughts on Etienne from the 2011 Draft Guide: Caught a lot of attention in the 2010 CIS season with a breakout year and made some big plays. Jade moved into the next tier of receivers with a lot of potential. Will have to convince decision makers that it wasn’t just a one time success story. Career totals - 30 rec. for 743 yds with 6 TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueandgold Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Why do people keep suggesting Etienne would be signed by the Riders? Why would he want to sign with a team where he would be a depth player? And what makes people think the Riders would be interested in signing him? The Riders don't have any NI receivers outside of Getzlaf and yes that includes Rob Bagg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred C Dobbs Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Our offense totally stinks this year. It will probaby turn out to be the worst offense in the club's history. We have 8 passing TD's all year. Ernie Pitts once caught 5 TD passes in one frickin game. You can't judge Jade's performance based on this year's offense. (But even with limited playing time he's got 2 of those 8 TD's.) He's still very young. If we get a decent QB and a smart OC, I expect he'll do a lot better.

Mr Dee Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 So, to use Rids' stats and TBurg's word - extrapolation, Jade is actually the leading receiver....interesting. Ha! Nate Coehoorn - 85 catches for 1,152 yards Marco Iannuzzi - 85 catches for 929 yards Kito Poblah - 85 catches for 856 yards Jade Etienne - 85 catches for 1,173 yards Anthony Parker - 85 catches for 1,052 yards.

Mr Dee Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 TDs are different, they are more specialized, specific targets, plays, preferred celebrations, that sort of thing. Besides when you apply the same formula, you get fractions. Ex Jade would have 8.5 TDs, Iannuzzi 10.25 TDs Heck, using that formula, I think I get a TD.

Before Labatte signed with the Riders I don't recall any talk about losing Saskatchewan-born players to the Riders. Now people talk (some in jest and some seriously) that any player who is even related to someone in Saskatchewan should not be taken or won't re-sign. It gets rather ridiculous at time.
