|SF2| Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 [quote name='Jason' post='626872' date='Jan 25 2008, 02:39 PM']Um, every player does have that opportunity. It is a rare occurrence. I never liked John Elway because of it, and I'll never like Eli. It pains me to have to root for the Giants in the SB. All I can say is I hope Eli playes like Big Jen did.[/quote] I had the unfortunate task of watching Archie Manning play his first 2 years in New Orleans. Dad had season tickets. I have no problem with what the Mannings did. All Archie did for his first 5 years was run around for his life and get sacked. He was a great QB who never got a chance to play on anything resembling a good team. God I hope the Giants win. Tiki and Shockey not playing while Eli leads them to the SuperBowl. LMAO.

And I don't want Shockey. We've got enough idiots on this team already, we don't need another one. And isn't it ironic that the Giants made the playoffs without their leading receiver, and now they're going to the super bowl without him? I am guessing that the chemistry of the team is much better without his personality... edit: Not their leading receiver obviously, that's Plaxico, but still...

claptonrocks Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Shockey was a great threat in the passing game no doubt about that. He has a serious ankle injury plus he broke his fibula and how will that affect his game? I dont know but he might lose a step from all of it. He'll bitch as much as Chad about getting the ball.. Carson's hair will turn grey!!!! He also has Drew Rosenhaus as his agent which isnt going to bode well with the Bengals. Weighing it all out Id pass on this one..

Go Tory Go! Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 He'd be a perfect fit: last year, he could've been dancing for the cameras just like this while Graham went to kick the winning FG in the last game, with the same result - [img]http://content.ytmnd.com/content/7/a/f/7afcaf0daea7ccebcf88af57df36c722.gif[/img] This kind of mature, winning attitude is what we need around here.

-GoBengals- Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 also manning homie or not, they arent going to trade shockey unless he is damanged goods, he and manning can be pog pals later, winning matters, especially in NY, and no way they are getting rid of a top 5 TE in the league cause he and the QB arent BFF.

Vol_Bengal Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 [quote name='Tigris' post='626863' date='Jan 25 2008, 02:30 PM']Didn't he say he would not play for the San Diego Chargers no matter what? Something about going back to school for something if he had to? That's enough talking for me. The draft isn't supposed to work like that. You're supposed to play for the team that picks you. They're lucky enough to be drafted... choosing who you play for is shitty. The Chargers did draft Eli, then traded him to NY.[/quote] Every player has the opportunity to not play for whomever drafted them. All they have to do is not sign, they go back into the draft the following year. Elway did it. [quote]700 yards and 5+ TD catches may influence you a little bit[/quote] I can assure you it wouldn't. 1000 yds and 10 TD's wouldn't. If I think a guy is a punk, no matter who it is, then I think he's a punk and I root against him. Don't care what he puts up. If Terrell Owens came to the Bengals I'd root against him.

Patmo Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Whomever was pimping Kevin Boss on this board last year should be a Bengal Scout.We've been screaming for a TE for two years and the Giants got him in the fourth round.The same goes for the pimper of Brandon Jacobs.Another 4th rounder I think who would have solved our problems. Of course,BJ's annual pimping of a big,fat DT is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 [quote]Depends on what they want for him. I'd give up a third for sure, and maybe a second round pick for him.

texbengal Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 He's a really good receiver, no doubt. Not much of a blocker, and from everything I've seen and heard, he's a selfish knucklehead. I guess he and Eli don't see eye to eye, and with Kevin Boss showing something and the Giants' O showing some life in general (with more involvement from other receivers, including rookies Boss and Smith, and Plexiglass having a nice year), they may be better off without him. Shockey seems to have some "I want the ball or I'll make everyone miserable" tendencies, and this team doesn't need that. Give the migraine to someone else.

|Bunghole| Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Shockey acts like an idiot, but he is talented. My biggest concern with him is his injury history. He gets hurt every year. Plus we'd have to give up too much to get him, and I just don't see NY getting rid of him, at least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never likrd Ricky Hunley either, same reason.[/quote] I apologize - I didn't mean to imply Elway went back into the draft, I know he didn't do. The way I worded it made it sound like that and that wasn't where I was going. I was just implying that Elway was another big namer that refused to play for the team that drafted him. The tackle (McKinney??) that the Vikings drafted a few years ago almost decided to just go back into the draft until Minnesota eventually paid him what he thought he deserved. I don't think he signed until like the end of November or first of December. He was basically like a month away from having to declare for the draft again, which is January 15th I believe.

I just couldn't root against a Bengal... kinda seems like I'd rather someone play bad and us lose than they do good and we win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
