Shockey's Twitter War?


bLACKpANTHER

Recommended Posts

Not long after Jeremy Shockey's interest in returning to the Giants surfaced, a former teammate suggested Big Blue back off. "Bad teammate," former Giants receiver Amani Toomer said via Twitter. "Worse person." Not surprisingly, Toomer's harsh words sparked a brief Twitter war between him and the volatile, 32-year-old tight end. Shockey almost immediately fired back, accusing Toomer of causing the injury that ended Shockey's 2007 season and dredging up allegations made about Toomer during his 2007 divorce. ... In a direct response to Toomer, via Twitter, Shockey said "Go get a bucket of rocks and start throwing them at your glass house." Toomer's response: "Shockey thanks 4 proving my statment about u being a bad person."

I really don't know what to think of Shock after this whole ordeal with him wanting to go the Giants. Why would he play for them for the vet minimum but not us? He's a playmaker and I love the attitude he brings to the team but, you've got to question his loyalty.

I have issues with current/former players wanting to play for other teams other then the Panthers....When I heard Smitty wanted to leave I dumped 90% of my high end stuff. I'm at least happy that Hank Pimple butt got them lol..

When Pepppers pulled his poo I sold 95% of my Peppers collection...I dont regret that all.

For those who dont know what I'm talking about my rookie/auto football cards.

I mean that must be why, right? It just reminds me an awful lot of bandwagon fans buying Aints or Pats jersey after they win SBs.

I hope he stays just because it'd be good to have someone with some rings on the team. He's been to the big dance and can guide the younger players on what to expect when we get there. I don't think anyone else on the team has won one, have they?

I believe Shockey said it was just a rumor that he wanted to return to the Giants. Dont think it was true.

From Espn:

And on the idea that he wants to return, Shockey tweeted, "It's funny how the Ny media still try's to make money off me! Can anyone find a quote from me on me wanting to play for the GAINTS?"

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
