jdlea 03-07-2008, 03:02 PM McCarieans really?
He's got good size, but the guy couldn't catch a cold. He dropped 2 balls at the end of the Jets, Ravens game last season that would have won the Jets the ballgame. I liked him when he went from TEN to the NYJ, but I'm not a fan of him at all now. I thought that he could grab a starting job and maybe start to put up some decent numbers, unfortunately, that didn't happen and he's definitely fallen in my eyes.
