Guest Bengal_Smoov Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 His former team dissed him and said "NO" when he approached them about a farewell season, that's like tripping your grandma down a flight stairs. Our best receiver, Chad Johnson, idoilizes Rice and wants to model is game after the best wr of all time. True, Rice has lost a step or step, but he was so far ahead the steps he lost have just brought him back to the pack. I know we have good young wr's who we should develop and blah blah blah blah......Rice is the best ever, if we can get him to come here and show Chad and the other guys his secrets it will be worth it. Rice may not be the quickest or fastest but he does have the some of the best hands and he knows how to run routes. If the young guys are looking to Chad to learn how to be successful and Chad has a guy like JERRY RICE to look at everyday in practice to learn new things from then I think we would have a great foundation for our wr corp. Jim Lippencott, I beesch your brethern, place a call to Rice's agent and see if he would want to join up with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BengalsOwn Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yes, let's see if we can carry 15 WR's on our roster!!!!!!!!!! We have way to much good young WR's to waste a roster space on Jerry Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BengalsOwn Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Besides, Jerry is too selfish to come here to teach our young receivers. And he has too much natural ability to teach IMO. A guy like Peyton Manning wouldn't be as good as Jon Kitna when it comes to teaching a guy how to play QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlackJesus Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 [b]I think bringing in Rice would ruin Chads Image of him....

ChicagoBengal Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 At this point, I'd rather have Koren Robinson than Jerry Rice. Rice is unquestionably the greatest receiver to put on the uniform, however, at this point, he's just a name. Lets face it, if you're a Jerry Rice (or Emmitt Smith, for that matter) and the whores of the NFL - namely the Bucs and Raiders - aren't dialing your number, it's probably time to hang 'em up.

Holmgren wishes he played Rice more, especially that last play were Bobby Engram dropped a TD to win the game, you know Rice would have caught that ball. Rice was brought in to replace Robinson who was suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy, hard to teach someone when their not on the team. We don't have too many guys who are the caliber of Rice and we don't have a single wr with any playoff experience, Rice has experience out the wazzou. How can even make your finger type negative things about the best wr to ever play the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[right][post="89313"][/post][/right][/quote] Jerry Rice out-worked the competition, if you re-call correctly he ran slow 40 and many didn't think he would be any good coming out of a small college. Rice worked his way to where he is today, natural abilitiy my ass. And if you think Peyton Manning could teach a young player more than Jon Kitna then you're . Kinta is good guy and all that jazz, but Peyton knows more about the qb position then most coaches and definitely Jon Kitna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt_Six Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Seahawks brought in Rice to teach their young wide receivers... and they ended up being the most inconsistent receivers in the NFL last year. Rice WAS a good player... and bringing him in to just coach doesn't sound good... after looking at the Seattle situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice wouldn't be asked to start and make big plays for us like Emmit was asked to do in Arizona. Rice would be a great 5th or 6th wr whose value would be more in practices than on game day.

Besides, how is that selfish to ask, Largent could have said no, he is the best ever. That's like Jordan going to another team that has #23 retired, you think there not going to bring that number down from the rafters. Largent should be honored that Rice wore his number, it's not like Rice is a scrub. If Largent felt so passionately about someone wearing his number he should have said something. In fact Largent never said anything, just some fuck ass sports writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bengal_Smoov Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 We could keep six, let Perry return kicks, and add Rice. We need a vet to help us make it deep in the playoffs and Rice could easily be that guy. How could our current roster say they have nothing to learn from Jerry Rice, honestly they can't. I know Hue Jackson is the wr coach but Jerry can show them things no one knows, even the great Marvin. He wouldn't want much and he should want to come and play for a young good team; if Chad asked him nicely how could he turn him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BengalBacker Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Sorry, but Jerry Rice needs to hang up the cleats and we certainly shouldn't cut young talent to make a spot for him. I think he's the best receiver to ever play the game and I have a lot of respect for him, but he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
