Gardner is better than Mitchell. That shows how bad Mitchell is. He had like 20 catches this year. They are both 1st round busts.

McCants appears to be better than both of them when he plays, but he obviously does some things that Gibbs and company do not like. Maybe after he is gone we will find out what the deal was.

Or he could go to Philly and be the next incarnation of Michael Irvin like Freddie Mitchell is!

We are talking about Rod Gardner right??? the Redskins Gardner???? What is the question anymore?

Look, the guy just does not have sure hands. I think that even with his potential, he needs to be able to be counted on to catch 95% of the balls thrown to him. He doesn't. 4 years in the league.... Does Cooley drop a ball that comes his way? If a tight end can catch it then you should be able to expect the same from your starting wideouts.

Gardner has everything you look for in a prototype #2 wideout, but he just is to inconsitant. If he stays in the league, he is going to have to pick it up a notch. Maybe he will, but how long do we wait?

I don't know. I'm being so goddamn Kerry-ish on this subject. I really don't know how to feel. I would say about 60% of me wants to keep the same team, upgrade the line and just have some continuity. The thing that pisses me off about Gardner is that I forgot he is ASKING to be traded. Now THAT is not something a team player does.

skinsguy · 02-05-2005, 02:32 PM

Yes Gardner is asking for the trade and really, what exactly are we losing if we lose Gardner? A receiver that has not been consistant for us! Sure, he has made some nice catches, but I would rather have a receiver that drops the acrobatic passes but catches 80% of the passes thrown his way rather than one that catches the acrobatic catches but drops at least 60% of his passes.

We need three receivers that can step up and be the man! I think Rod would thrive more in an offense that passes the ball 2:1 verse the run.

TheMalcolmConnection · 02-05-2005, 05:00 PM

Yup, I would definitely agree with the assessment of needing a guy who makes the easy catch, because the easy catch is really all a receiver SHOULD have to make anyway. It's Ramsey's job to make that happen. Granted, that's only in a perfect world, but that's how it should be.

Glad I didn't purchase one.......anyone want a Heath Shuler jersey?........

monk81 · 02-06-2005, 09:06 PM

I'm just glad Gardner won't be wearing a Redskin uniform next year....he was a definite UNDERACHIEVER..............His lack of effort, dropped passes.............

skinsfan0201 · 02-07-2005, 01:29 AM

2/3rds, 1/2, 9/10ths, if everyone had that attitude no one would get very far in life.....
