Gamebreaker Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 What do you think? I have to admit, it looks very doubtful he'll be back once his contract ends. The part that worries me is that I don't feel it'll be because Jacobs has taken his starting spot. It may be simply because the team doesn't have the money to sign him to a fair contract.

CMonster Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 It could also be because he doesn't fit the offense. He will get offers in free agency, and we could possibly replace him with a smaller, faster guy who would be cheaper. Why don't we see how he plays this year before worrying about rosters two years out? I guess that's the boredom of the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 I think this offense needs a reciever who can make catches over the middle, in traffic while under intense pressure. I'd rather keep him than putting another smaller, faster reciever in his place. That makes our WR corps less versatile and limits what we could do aganist certain secondaries.

NYC Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Of course not just like Samuels, Bailey & Arrington you'll have no money left over for Gardner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 It depends if the new CBA involves keeping the current salary cap. If we go back to pre cap contracts or something new (doubtful) then its a no brainer to keep him. I prefer to keep him but if D Mac emerges that is another option and we need big receivers to prevent becoming soft like the Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long n Left Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 The guy had what? 8 or 9 TDs last year? He is the kind of player needed next to Coles' speed. A perfect complement. I think he has the ability to be a 80+ catch, 10+ TD guy for many years to come. BTW, where's the "NO JETS" icon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kornheiser Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Gardner's got to nail down the #2 spot this season (and not wander in & out of it, keeping it by default, like he did last season). Otherwise he's cut, we can't pay someone 17th overall money to hold down the #3 or later spot. The stage is set, we got two younger, faster & less expensive wr's right behind him. And his money could go towards Champs contract. His fate is in his hand. But I think I've seen enough, he drops balls like crazy, he's slow and can't separate. and he's can't fight to the ball even though he's big (which he always has to fight to the ball because he can't separate). It's a sore spot with me, I think he's been given a free ride by the homers - but hey, I'd be delighted to have him prove me wrong. I'm giving this last season, even though I think he's a lost cause. But then I don't want any sniffling. Cut 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manasseh Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Personally, I feel that Gardner's fate hinges a great deal on this season. How will he perform with the presence of another legitimate #1 receiver on the team? Can he fulfill his role? Will he prove himself worthy of the money we're paying him or can McCants play his role just as well? A lot of those questions won't be answered until later in the season. I'll hold off on voting in this poll just yet. NYC, are you going to back up your comments with any factual information or do you not have any facts to back up your useless comments?

Coles the clutch man Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 If he has another year like last years season or better then there is no doubt in my mind that we should keep him but we will have to see how much of a factor he is with Coles and Jacobs.
