    Love Keller! He's going to be a great weapon for a long time at end and will be considered elite before too long.

    Great article! Keller appears to be as smooth off of the field as he is on it.

    I'd like to see more consistency from him. He seems to be a streaky player so far, showing up big for a few games at a clip, then disappearing for a while.

    I think the team as a whole is still find its way, throwing Holmes in the mix definitely has taken some throws away from Keller.

    They should find a good balance soon, Keller will be Sanchez's number 1 target in big spots for a long time.

    I'm talking about since he was drafted. He tends to show up big for a few games then disappear. Maybe that's directly related to inconsistent QB play, I don't know.

    Oh okay, gotcha.

    Hopefully this is the year where he really makes a name for himself, I predicted as such.

    I just hope he doesn't get lost in the mix, because with all the other weapons there is not 1 team that can cover Keller. If Schotty really learns how to exploit that there is no telling how big a season he could have.

    If Sanchez is the most overrated Jet then Keller had to be the most underrated.

    I wish he had been able to hold onto that TD in the driving rainstorm a couple of weeks back.

    Very happy we have DK on the team.. He has been great on the Jets.

    We never used to use the TE, now that we have a WR/TE in one, we have no choice but to use him..

    This sorta got me to thinking... would you want to be famous? And rich? OK, rich, sure... but Keller is a tweener now. Lots of the bennies, but he can walk down a street without getting mobbed. I really don't envy players or anyone else for that matter that can't go out in public without getting mobbed.

    I really would prefer to be a Keller or Dallas Clark vs. being a Sanchez or Peyton Manning. Plenty of $$$, but a quasi-normal life. I think I would hate the harrassment that fame brings.

    If Sanchez goes on a date, it's page 6. Keller can date an ugly (not that he would have to) and not even get caught.

    I think its about certain teams game planning for him and the offense not being able to overcome it.

    Perhaps more time is needed to work that out.
