Currency Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 A similar injury destroyed my career in football. If such injury were not to happen, I would have been a late-round pick in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gspotter Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I hate to hear that to anyone. There's no telling if anyone (even those who get drafted) would be successful, however, I hate to think of it in the event that it keeps you out of sports for the rest of your life. I also hated it for Joe T. It was just bad. These things happen though and I suppose it's the price of sports fame. You may suffer the worst of the worst and people have broken arms, legs, backs, and necks. What's worse is the people have died playing football, so it can be a brutal sport. Of course, anyone whose played football knows that those are the memories that you look back on. I would've hated to have all my health and none of the glory from scoring TD's since I was a kid all the way through high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Floyd The Barber Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 at first glance, the immediate thought that came to mind when i read the title of this thread was MORE injury news involving Jammar Taylor...like he broke his legs getting out of bed...good thing it wasnt that kind of news...

CharlesShowMeTheWay Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i cant make an honsest assessment of the man, he never plays and is always hurt... True, but he did show flashes of being a quality 3rd wideout his rookie year. I would love for him to be completely healthy this year so we could have a true assessment of his playing ability.

I choose All of above - he will be hurt before, during and after camp ends. The Giants are paying him peanuts so why not, but he will be on the IR before October.

parlintm Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The thing is, the Giants just need Carter OR Taylor to stay healthy. They dont need both, yet both get injured. Hopefully this will be the year that neither of them gets injured (although if they pass the bug onto plax/amani ill be uber upset).... which is why we still need another WR. Chad Jackson --- please dont get drafted before pick 25. Please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for him to be completely healthy this year so we could have a true assessment of his playing ability. I disagree...for all the speed he supposedly has he was almost step for step with the DBs both times he caught long passes...Eli threw some near perfect passes to him. I agree that you cant even assess him...he just hasnt run any route other than the fly...or been on the field to do so...anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Jackson --- please dont get drafted before pick 25. Please. It's my opinion that Jamaar Taylor and Tim Carter are the same player...cloned. And while I really hope we get a linebacker in the first (when was the last time we picked an LB in the first, anyone know?), I would not be against snatching a WR in the first if one drops...but I think id rather see us pick up one in the second...

I can assess him quite well. He is a wasted pick, and even more so a wasted roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see that, too. At the very least get someone out there on the field who will remain on the field 12+ games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carbo Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Tyree is too valuable on Special Teams to have him chance an injury reaching for an overthrown pass over the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Why? He lost his 3rd WR spot to Carter in camp last year. who put up a whopping 10 catches...? i think it's worth the look even if Carter does do well in training camp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The age of Free Agency makes it tough to put together a defense like that and have them stay together for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
