While it may be more indicative of decades of inept play at the quarterback position and countless incompetent offenses as a whole, the fact that this season’s Jets wide receivers, Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, are on pace to be the most productive tandem the Jets have ever fielded, should be a refreshing thought for Gang Green fans who have suffered through a lifetime of often unwatchable offensive football.
Since the start of the new millennium, NFL teams have had a wide receiver post double-digit touchdowns 139 times. Of those 139, only one was a New York Jet.
