NFL whos looking good so far
DrewKaree:
And relying on your tight end as one of your better recievers is a recipe for disaster. I watched year after year of good TE's come through GB. In each and EVERY instance, the TE was not only interchangeable, at times, they even sent in linemen to act the part of TE!
Look at Eric Johnson in San Fran this past year. Dynamite numbers. Hey, can anyone recall how their team did? The TE should be AWESOME as a result of the REST of the team doing their job well.
I notice you haven't brought up the phenomenal TD numbers of Shockey, his penchant for dropping passes at times....kinda useless to run over a guy when you aren't in possession of the ball.
Warner came from a team that had 2 SUPERSTARS for recievers, with fill-ins fairly close in talent to Hilliard and Toomer, and the ability to throw out still ANOTHER decent reciever in the mix, and a pass-catching RB who was probably on par (I'd say better than) with Shockey in his recieving abilities. Add in an O line that was designed expressly with pass protection in mind, playing in a dome, and you've got a start at understanding the different between StL Warner and NYG Warner. Add ON the fact that Chad is pointing out to you, that he got oldER and you should be able to get this.
Seriously, how can you not see the fact that Warner was so much better suited to the Arena League game which StL resembled more than any other team? The dude couldn't make the Packers even knowing he probably wouldn't see a second of playing time....why would similar needs in a QB for NY be met by him when he's older?

I think Toomer is under rated ,him and now plexico are as good as those rams recievers.
Shannon sharpe was a loud mouth but a good TE.
Poor warner is stuck in arizona now , but they do have some good rookie wide outs.

Dude, that is the funniest thing I've heard in about two weeks. Neither of them is half as good as Bruce, Holt, or even Faulk as a receiver.
