Sydney rice retires after 7 years


Recommended Posts

Great for him.  Football's not everything and it's not worth your life.  I enjoy the game as much as anyone else, but life is much more interesting, which football is a part of.  Seeing a guy who has a plan after football is one aspect I like about the game.

The difference was after that season he kept getting hurt.

 

He never played in all 16 games before 2009, and only once after 2009 (it was 2012)...

He never broke 800 yards in any year except 2009 when he had 1312 and 83 rec. (the highest hes had after that was 50 rec. and 748 yards in 2012)

so 2 full years as a starter and one was a great season, the other wasn't so great...

2009 was his only year and you have to give a great amount of credit to that to Brett Favre

LOL @ the morons in this thread attributing Rice's pro bowl season in 09 to Brett Favre.  You know what? Favre had 1 good year after leaving the Packers and it was when he had a healthy Rice to throw to.  Hell, watch the highlights, it's just Favre wildly flinging the ball in his general direction and Rice making unbelievable plays on it.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
