Shannon Sharpe on Rod Gardner (Preseason 2005)

[jamf]

i dissagree wolfeskins.

i think coles and his toe is better than moss and his hamstring/ankle/knee.
gardner was able to compete and beat defender. his problem was concentration and offensive consistency.

what facinates me is the high praise for patten. what has patten done in his career? is being a 3rd stringer in a superbowl a big deal?
btw
that wr you call pathetic has more TD's in 4 years with 3 different coaches than patten has in his 8 year career and he has 600 less yards than patten in half the time.

gardner has and will be a 1000 yard receiver. i wish him well, btw i agree with the comments he made. the offence was horrible, the QB's are garbage.

patten is a scrub. moss is delicate. coles is better than they are.

Well, I would like to thank the Redskins for giving up Rod Gardner...From what I saw at the Panthers training camp...Rod Gardner looked awesome. I really feel he is gonna help out the Panthers a lot. Now, he won't be as good as Smith but not to many are . That is if we can stay away from the injury bug that plagued us last year.

BTW wish you guys a great season this year. Can't wait to see the Redskins and Panthers play Saturday night...I know it is preseason but it's still Football.

but neither of them wanted to be here, so they probably would have played even worse than last year if they stayed. We needed to get rid of both of them and I'm glad we did. I'm happy with a 3-time super bowl winner and a legitamite deep threat then "drop it like its hot" and "the toe."

Shannon Sharpe is almost as big of a bust as an announcer as Gardner was as a receiver in Carolina. Gibbs knows what he is doing. Remember that when he gets rid of Lavar and signs Keyshawn. You guys will be loving Keyshawn in a year.

i'd love key on my team... the guy is a fierce competitor regardless of the situation. anyone would probaby yell at drew bledsoe if he was your quarterback!

he'd be the solid possession receiver we need!

Oh yeah. Let's just add him to the list of "one-year and outta here" financial disasters, a la Jeff George, Deion Sanders, Ki-Jana Carter, Jessie Armstead and others.

WTF? This team is being built around character guys who WANT to play for each other. Keyshawn didn't get the nickname "ME-SHAWN" for nothing. I hope that his stench stays as far from Redskin Park as possible. Throw me an underachiever who wants desperately to play better any day.

except you really weren't... the common concensus was that maybe moss wasn't as good but moss + patten were better than gardner + coles.

I know I personally had no problems with letting coles go or sitting him for a year.

You weren't exactly right. Moss had an incredible year but Patten??? Did he outperform Gardner or Coles, NO. The one thing everybody seems to be saying is that we need a 2nd reciever. I thought Gardner played well and certainly could throw the ball on a option play, but he was not just let go cause of his skills on the field. Lets just say that he was not a core skin that Gibbs likes.

Hello Fooz welcome to the boards. Just wait until you are at a key point in the game and Gardner starts dropping passes......then let us know how much you like him

Good Luck to the Panthers this year too.........I like your coach, and your QB Jake. I liked Stephen Davis but the guy couldn't stay healthy when he was a Skin and STILL can't for the Panthers.......can't wait for the game.........

Wouldn't you know it? Fooz currenlty is in a bidding war to be the host of NFL Live on ESPN and the main writer for Sports Illustrated, taking over Peter Kings job.

Good luck Fooz!

how many games has moss missed because of injury? coles stats for last year were posted earlier, before and after the toe injury, those stats tell the story.

let me tell you what patten has done, since you don't know. he's been one of the most CONSISTANT receivers in the nfl, he does NOT drop passes, he does NOT complaine, he wasn't brought here to be the teams #1 wr, he's here to bring CONSISTANCY and RELIABILITY to the team, something that gardner could not do. gardner might have more tds or catches but thats because gardner was drafted by marty to be the skins "go to guy", marty had plenty of plays called for just gardner, likewise did spurrier until the arrival of coles. patten comes from a team that stresses that there is no "go to guy" or #1 wr, they spread the ball around to all their wideouts.


gardner may have a 1000 yard year in carolina, good for him but i really don't care, i care more about moss,patten and the rest of the skins receivers. as to gardner and you agreeing that the skins offense was horrible and the qbs are garbage, i'll agree about the offense last year but i do NOT consider patrick ramsey as garbage. i think he'll have a pretty good season this year.
