NeMesiS Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Would you take a flyer on Keyshawn if its cheap enough? (He was released by the Panthers today) No...I think we have good talent at the WR positon...We just need to play them and get more expirience. Lets not forget, we still have Anthony Mix on the roster also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 We already have an influx of wide receivers in Plaxico Burress, Amani Toomer, Steve Smith, Sinorice Moss, David Tyree and Michael Jennings. Last thing the Giants need is a slow footed receiver who is a malcontent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i wouldn't dismiss him that quickly.. he's a great downfield blocker. we can use him in a 2 tight end alignment. if he's got anything left in the tank, it might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Not now. I've always liked Keyshawn, but he wouldn't deserve a roster spot over the 4 guys we have now. He will play though, he's still got some game left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know.. the towel tackles... quitting on plays.. throws hands in the air like he "jus don't care"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know.. the towel tackles... quitting on plays.. throws hands in the air like he "jus don't care"? Nas, why would I want to get a guy to supplement our supposed top receiver. Think about it for a second. If Shockey or Toomer can't do it, how would Keyshawn do it. Everybody hates on Plax and true he's not a great receiver, but there have been many games where he's done well, there have been many passes overthrown towards him where he's going up and caught it and made a play out of nothing. And for every play "he gives up on", he's been seen throwing blocks for Tiki on running plays. I don't condone throwing hands up Nas, but for fuck sake let's face facts here, sometimes Eli throws shitty passes and a lot of times he doesn't even notice the open receiver. You might throw your hands up also if you run 30 yards every play only for your quarterback to ignore you. By the way, not only do Shockey and Plax throw their hands in the air, Tiki did it, Toomer does it, and Coughlin does it and no-one says shit about it. It's really time for people to stop with that nonsense, it's such a small small factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know.. the towel tackles... quitting on plays.. throws hands in the air like he "jus don't care"? Nas, c'mon man... this is the guy who wrote "Just Give Me the Damn Ball" and openly warred with Wayne Chrebet, possibly the biggest "feel good" free agent story before Kurt Warner. Then he had beef with Warren Sapp (who is admittedly an asshole), and got deactivated by John Gruden. He's a jerk, a malcontent, and we already have two of those on offense. No thanks.

randoff Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Every year same o shit! Every year "let's sign everybody that gets cut". Umm excuse me??? don't we have enough recievers on the Giants? Plus "Me- Shawn" is washed up. And even when MeShawn was in his prime....he wasn't alladat. We haven't learned. Carlos Emmons, Arrington, Chad Morton, Madison, McQuarters....

Bro, I dont know how you could have a problem with Mcquarters. Dude played very good at nickle. And stepped up against some big name WR's. He isnt great, but he did a good job last year, and plays with alot of heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced that if you just took McQuarters out on the field, you'd have a better chance of winning, he is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt great, but he did a good job last year, and plays with alot of heart. Mcquarters is a step slower...too old or whatever. And IT seemed like he was so lost out there covering the deep pass. I just don't know what it reall y was...the Giants scheme or McQuarters being too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randoff Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 We're not brining him as a starter. Would you take him over Jennings? Nah....because ME-Shawn still thinks he warrants big reciever money. And why replace Jennings with MeShawn? Jennings has 'upside', Meshawn is washed up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hopefully the drafting of Steve Smith will light a fire under his ass. And a healthy Sinorice Moss.... I agree with the sentiments so far...1 year contract at the most. However, I highly doubt that'll happen. I imagine Keyshawn is looking for a deal to take him into retirement. I'm guessing a 4 year deal with the last year being voidable by both parties. I wouldn't want to give him that deal, but I'm sure someone probably will.

I wouldn't want to give him that deal, but I'm sure someone probably will. Keyshawn has said he expects to play 1-2 more years and then retire. He's not unhappy about the Panthers cutting him, he expected it. I see Keyshawn ending up with someone like the Colts/ Chargers or Bears, someone who's not far away from winning it all, he's not going to a loser right now.

fishgutmartyr Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Sign him and put him where? It doesn't make sense to replace Toomer with him for a year when you have two WRs drafted in consecutive 2nd rounds waiting. If Toomer is healthy, he deserves a spot, since he's played well for us the past two seasons, at least up until the injury (actually, I think he made a couple plays for us with the injury--he didn't even realize he was injured until the following Monday). That's not even taking into consideration his career here. Besides, if Toomer is too old, why sign a 35 year-old? You're not getting rid of Tyree, who is great at special teams, and does well when he comes off the bench. He does exactly what we drafted him to do. Jennings? He barely dressed last year, so why put a 35 year-old at that spot? You might as well put Mix there, keep him off the practice squad, and get him some practice time. As it is, assuming that Toomer comes back, I wouldn't be surprised to see Jennings gone, and Mix stay on the PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
