Panthers Drop Rod Like He's Hot

[sportscurmudgeon]

I just checked. Rod Gardner was drafted AHEAD of Santana Moss, Reggie Wayne and Todd Heap in terms of pass catchers. Oh and Deuce McAlister was drafted after good old 50/50 too.

So, each and every person who was involved in the Skins' draft that year who pushed for Gardner ought to be BANNED from the scouting and drafting meetings for a decade. And that should include Danny Boy and Vinnie Boombatz if either of them even said "Boo" on the subject!

I thought Marty was the sole guy making the calls that year? Could be wrong though.

"Hey guys...here's a good idea! Let's draft a tall, slow possession WR with questionable hands in the first round. We'll be on our way then!"

You are correct Gardner was Martys guy, and yes Snyder wanted Moss.

Although I saw an interview with Cerratto because he was doing commentary for the draft after we fired him, and his pick for the Skins before the draft started was Gardner, he felt Gardner was the best fit for us, and said thats who he would pick if he was still our GM, so we can include Vinnie in that pick as far as talent evaluation goes.

Rumor has it that Snyder was obsessed with Santana that year, and that was one of the reasons he was so thrilled to make the trade for him before this season. Marty had sole control over that draft, as that was one of the stipulations of his taking control of the team.

History aside, I think we can be happy that Snyder finally got his guy and that we have a WR of Moss' considerable skill level!

As I recall, Danny Boy wanted to draft Moss but was overruled by Schotty. In fact, prior to the draft, the buzz heads were saying that the draft would be a big test for Schottty b/c Danny was in love with Moss.

Sign Marty up for that one, he was the one that wanted RG while Danny Boy wanted to draft Santana Moss.
