How many times did Saint fans come in here telling us how Shockey was going to be anything other than the disappointment he has always been...

Jeremy Shockey, Saints -- New Orleans tried to pry Shockey loose from the Giants for six months before trading for him in July, and I'm guessing no one in the Saints organization can even remember why they worked so hard. New Orleans gave up second- and fifth-round picks in 2009 for a guy who was the poster child for low-impact acquisitions this season. The stats say he caught 50 passes for 483 yards in 12 games, but I honestly don't remember seeing any of them. Shockey was always hurt, he lost two fumbles, didn't score any touchdowns, and I didn't even think his new, shorter haircut was all that much.

-------------------

was surprised hackett wasn't up there honestly.

I agree. Amazes me he was inactive for so long as well.

DeAngelo Hall, Raiders/Redskins -- The mind boggles at the fact Oakland gave Atlanta second- and fifth-round picks for Hall last offseason, and then handed him a seven-year, $70 million contract that included $24.5 million of guarantees. He got torched so routinely this season that the Raiders released him after just eight games, for which he was paid $8 million. He then signed with the Redskins and resumed his underachieving ways.

The world finally saw the truth this year... Amazing it took this long.

And they include a lot of rookies in there. As good as they may do, I never really expected Glen Dorsey or Gholston to lead the league or even their team in any category.

Speaking of, what ever happened to that fella from USC? What team did he go to? Ced... Ellis? something?

I think his point, though, is that they were first round picks who did absolutely nothing, forget about leading their team in anything.

Mike Wahle, Seattle -- The Seahawks snapped Wahle up in free agency, hoping he could solve the problem they've had at left guard since Steve Hutchinson got away to Minnesota. But Wahle's mediocre play only contributed to Seattle's season-long offensive line issues, and he was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury after just 10 games.

he would be a dissapointment if we didn't have moose, since we don't have any ill effects from his abscense he's not a dissapointment

but i have a HUGE feeling we will be seeing alot of him on saturday

i agree, i've begun to have great respect for how fox game plans for the playoffs in the regular season. IMO this is to a large extent why it always appears as though we're playing down to the level of our competition.

that might be because when he is on the field he's productive.

13 receptions for 181 yards, 3 catches of 20+ yards, and 7 first downs.

his problem is staying healthy, not production.

everyone's production on that list sucks on the field, healthy or not.

dunno.... he's been active for 9 games. I think it's more attributable to Fox's scheming and Jake's blinders.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
