Only an idiot would say no...

He makes are team better, so obviously yes.

I don't necessarily think that someone rises to the level of "idiot" if they say no. It would be nice to have Shockey back, but perhaps it's time to move on and let one of the younger, more durable TEs develop. I am somewhat excited about the big guy (Bryant)

If a player makes you better and you can get them at the right price, then you can hold off on developing players. It's easier to go with the status quo than to start from scratch.

I get the overall message, but I assume that Barnidge will fill that role if Shockey doesn't want to (at our price), and promoting Barnidge is not exactly starting from scratch.

BTW, I voted "yes".

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
