Panthers Drop Rod Like He's Hot

[Warpath]

I don't want him back. He wanted out of the Redskins organization so why should we welcome him back? Screw that. Im still pulling for the Bar-B-Q place.

I don't know if I'd give ol 50/50 another chance. If he worked hard to become at least 70/30, I might be willing. LOL!

Then we could trade him for another low-round draft pick.

And people were talking about getting a 2nd rounder for him. LOL

[NYCSkin]

Why would we want this bum? He dissed us and there is no way Gibbs goes for a guy who doesn't believe in the organization. Also, he couldn't beat out old-as-dirt Ricky Proehl as third receiver. He can take a hike and go wherever Westbrook, Albert Connell, and Alvin Harper are hiding...

Lets just shoot him........Hell, since he's not worth a dime...... bang, bang :yeahright

Guys...come on...i cant believe anyone has yet to see the writing on the wall.

It is quite obvious that Rod Gardner will be brought back to the skins for the remainder of the season...and then as soon as Smooty is found guilty of indecent sex acts and jettisoned from the Vikings...he too will be back with the skins.

The thing people dont understand...is that Rod Gardner is actually a potential Hall of Famer... The coaching staff simply has him playing the wrong position.

For as good as he is at not catching the ball...you would think he could do an excellent job as a defensive back...helping opponents to not catch the ball just like him.

Then once we have a secondary made up of Sean Taylor, Shawn Springs, Fred Smoot, Carlos Rogers, and Ol 50-50, who with a little more work could most certainly improve (if you can call it that) by becoming even worse at catching the ball. I think 10-90 would be a realistic expectation.

I am convinced his aura in and of itself on defense would cause opposing receivers to be awful against us... And on the few rare occasions they did catch the ball...they could look forward to getting hit with a runaway train named Taylor...that would teach them to never catch the ball again!

The Jist...when this dream is realized next year...the redskins will have best secondary in the history of football...dare to dream fellas...dare to dream...

Can anyone decipher this sentence from the Panthers website?

"Acquired in a trade from Washington prior to training camp, Gardner played in 10 games, did not play in one contest and was inactive for two others."

[That Guy]

he played one snap (at least) in 10 games, was active for another (but never saw the field) and wasn't activated for 2 more.

Good luck catching those rockets from Favre.

[Hog1]

THAT should help Favre's numbers!

[That Guy]

talk about a desperate team... he'll be a good fit for them though.

Next weeks caption - Gardner breaks three fingers, a thumb, and didn't catch a pass.

[sportscurmudgeon]

Let's be a bit analytical here. Trust me, it won't hurt that much...

Gardner has had a bad year and has been a less than positive influence with the Panthers; but that is not news. That's what he has been and has done since he came into the league.

Coles is a different story. If Jerry Rice had been the guy trying to catch passes from Vinny T. and Brooks Bollinger for all of his career, he wouldn't be on the fast track to the HoF either.
