Carolina fans. Dont believe the hype from the media. Shockey is a good guy and a super great teammate that will be missed dearly by us Saints. Yes, his production has declined, and he does get injured a lot. But he gets injured because he give 100 percent everytime he is on the field. He could be a great security blanket for a QB, especially if you guys get somebody like Gabbert at QB. He doesnt have the speed anymore, but he can still get open, and he still can catch the ball wherever, and he is still a very dangerous redzone threat. The media doesn't like him because he does not like the media, and usually avoids playing any kind of games with them. But countless people who have dealt wish Shockey will tell you he is a great guy, from helping out charities, signing autographs, being friendly with fans in the public, he is a good guy. So embrace him. If he starts to feel attacked that's when the bad Shockey comes out, and thats what happened in NY.

A good pick up guys.

Shockey still has a little left in the tank and could still put up big numbers where he's not the 3rd-4th target in an offense...he'll be a nice security blanket for whatever QB Jerry trots out there.

thanks for the vote of confidence. TEs usually get aton of targets in the chargers offense as did winslow while chud was the OC in cleveland. shockey really hasn't had an opportunity like this since the giants. he should be in the top 2 as far as targets go.

side note, not sure your intentions with the "haters gonna hate" thing going on, but i have spent a lot of time with people who have down syndrome (in addition to my aunt who just passed away about a year ago at 55 years old) and they have always been some of my favorite people to be around because they don't take themselves or anyone else seriously. they are just fun people to be around and do a lot to make people smile. people would be better off if they knew someone like that for something other than to make fun of.

I love how fans of a team that have been the doormat of the NFL for 40+ plus years...yeah they have a ring...can comment on a former player going to a division rival and saying he 'wont be missed'......The Aints are turning into the '02 Bucs...did it one time and won't be back :rolleyes:

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
