I'll remember Rod as a talented wide receiver who never got a fair chance in a town that never embraced him and as 1st round draft pick that never reached his potential because of plain and simple bad luck.
Sincerely,
M. Westbrook
Good one!:lol:

If I do remember Gardner for anything, it will actually be a good thing he did. The game against Dallas on Monday night last year, where he absolutley exploded, is engraved in my mind. I dont know if its Gardners performance or the face that me and a Washington Redskin (Gardner), both ripped off our headware (his helmet,my hat) and screamed the same explitive (f---) at exactly the same time as time expired......
I wont forget about his drop this year vs NYG either.
very wierd, i have that on my computer, and i watched it over and over, and played it slow motion earlier today.
I was thinking about that darn helmet to helmet hit. Skrew the cowgirls.
Now atleast we won't have to hear "Redskins Rod Gardner was not at camp today because he was excused from all offseason workouts. It seems as if the Redskins will be forced to let the former 1st round draft pick go due to disputes between the team and him."

Michael Westbrook with less anti-social tendencies.
That's how I'll remember the Rod Gardner Era in Washington...

basically i'll remember him as the personification of Redskin Post-Posse receiving mediocrity.
hoping Gardner's hands would grow as an adult instead of giving other faster guys on the roster (ahem McCants) more chances to prove themselves is beyond me.

Gardner's Redskin career will be rememebered as half good, half bad.. All in all, 50-50.
Sorry, that was WAY too easy and it hadn't been said yet.

Droppin' it like it's hot!
Oh that's cold!
I hope Moss gets 1200 yards. he definately has the talent.
I hope Jacobs turns into a solid 700-1000 yard WR. he also has the the talent
but, i think Gardner will put up better stats than the guys on our team.
gardners going to a better system with a good WR on the other side of the field. rod always did a good job of beating defenders. if he can stay in the same system for a while, he will develop into what we thought he was going to be.
i wish him the best. he is a good guy.

i dont think he ever really missed practices or games, and i don't remember him shunning the media (though he's never been a postgame centerpiece)... i wish his hands weren't so horrible, but i really rather have a WR corp that doesn't drop balls, even if they're slightly less talented.

does anyone know what round pick we got? 4th? 5th? is it contingent on him signing an extension? has his agent decided to drop the no new contract stuff?

We got a conditional 6th round pick according to the Washington Post. Rod made amazing plays and frustrating plays so I'll agree with the 50-50 rating of his time here in DC.
