Is Braylon Edwards actually good?

Today the Browns traded Edwards to the Jets, and it seems like a steal for the Jets at first. They needed a receiver to play opposite Jerricho Cotchery, and they got it. But here's a question; is Braylon Edwards actually good?

The popular opinion is that he is, and I tend to fall into this as well. But look at his career yardage stats per season: 512, 884, 1289, 873, 139 (in 4 games this year). Outside of one big season, what has he done? You can make excuses for him about his QBs and all that, but the bottom line in this league is production. Bernard Berrian last season had 940 receiving yards, and no one considers him a great player. Yet that total would rank 2nd in Edwards' career. Edwards' production is actually similar to another receiver who was traded at midseason, the bust that is Roy Williams of the Cowboys: 817, 687, 1310, 838, 430 (with 2 teams), 214 (in 4 games this year).

The Jets didn't give up as much as to get Edwards as the Cowboys did to get Williams, but they're both supposed to be talented, explosive players, yet the results really aren't there. You could have made excuses for Roy Williams in Detroit as well, but going to a better team has not helped him; he's been a huge bust for Dallas.

I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Edwards sometimes has a huge case of the dropsies. If he plays like he did in Cleveland, he's going to get eaten alive in New York.
