So what if Gardner DOES stay?

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-04-2005, 05:11 PM

I was reading on another site about how it is very possible that Gardner might not get dealt at all. Any feelings on this and where do you think he would fit in the scheme if he was still on the team next year?

I see no reason why he wouldn't be our #1 if he stayed.

His teammates named him 50/50 - Not us. 'nuff said.

I see no reason why you shouldn't get your eyes checked out. Did you watch any games the past 3 years????????

I think we'll move him on draft day, if not who knows, maybe we cut him outright and save ourselves $2M. I don't see him coming back.

I agree, someones hand will be forced on draft day, don't see him coming back, and don't want him coming back.

I hope so. I read more in the other site saying the Redskins pretty much "threw him under the bus" in saying that he was not in their plans in 2005.

Fingers are crossed for that 3rd round pick.

I think that ships sailed. He won't be back. if they continue to have trouble moving him they will eventually lower their demands. They are still holding to the hope that they will get a #3 for him.

Daseal · 04-04-2005, 05:26 PM

I also think he won't be back - but if he is back, which was the question, I think he'd have to be our #1. We don't have anyone better.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-04-2005, 05:27 PM

You don't think Moss is better? If Gardner were to continue to play at the level he did last year, I'd take Moss any day.

Daseal · 04-04-2005, 05:35 PM

There's a reason Moss was being moved to #3. Moss is quick, and he can stretch defenses, but he's not a #1 in my eyes. Peerless Price II.

Peerless Price put up numbers because he was opposite Moulds and couldnt do anything as a number one. Moss was the number one last year. He made big plays whenever Pennington threw him the ball, the problem is Chad never threw him the ball. For whatever reason they didnt hookup often. When Chad went down, Moss' numbers went up.

I think that Moss could work out well here. I agree that Moss needs to be paired up with someoen else and isnt the type of guy that draws a double team everytime. With that said, it looks like our lineup is setup the way the Pats was last year. We have five above average receivers. We can move teh ball around, keep the defenses guessing. If you have a bunch of receivers the other team has to respect, and give moss the option to run free, hes going to make plays. THe guy is a playmaker.

I agree, Moss proved he can put up big numbers as the go to guy, he had a 1000 yard season and 10 TDs not too long ago.

I read somewhere that if we can't get a trade done, then he'll get cut. I don't see how he could be our #1 IMO.

Red Robert · 04-04-2005, 05:56 PM

I am with most of you on Rod and that we may be better off without him but one of the main delays in a move being made is that Rod wants that one season to inflate his value before he is a free agent next year. This could be a great thing for our beloved skins.

Let him have the one year, at a low cap cost to do his best for the big dollars. Can this really hurt us?
