yea i keep bringing back old threads, but i like how i was pretty much the only one who was right on this one
except you really weren't... the common concensus was that maybe moss wasn't as good but moss + patten were better than gardner + coles.
I know I personally had no problems with letting coles go or sitting him for a year.

You know what, looking back, I still wouldnt have minded Rod Gardner on this team (if he wanted to be here). He really could have filled the role of a possession reciver alot better than any of our other guys, perticuarly down the stretch. But he didnt want to be here, so I think it was a good call.

i don't think he had the kind of attitude that gibbs likes, nor does he have the skills.

yea........ maybe......... but thats not saying much. tj only plays in about 1 game per year (injured the rest) farris might actually be better than rod.

I've never been anti Gardner; in fact we could have used his presence last season. I must say that his comments make sense and he's capable of making big plays when balls are thrown his way. He's a solid # 2 WR, maybe even #1 on some teams.
We have not seen the last of Rod Gardner.

Am I missing something? He wasn't a solid #2 the last few years here, ran wrong routes, dropped routine catches, thouroughly earned the nickname 50/50 and 'Drop it like it's hot' and we could have used him this season?? He wasn't even good enough to be a #4 in Carolina last season GOT CUT DURING THE SEASON and was only on Green Bay because every one of their WR was hurt and still didn't distinguish himself.. Are we talking about the same Rod Gardner? We're heard the last of him.

All I'm saying is the guy has potential. I wouldn't write him off just yet.
I think he's better than every WR on our roster, with the exception of Santana.

You weren't exactly right. Moss had an incredible year but Patten??? Did he outperform Gardner or Coles, NO. The one thing everybody seems to be saying is that we need a 2nd reciever. I thought Gardner played well and certainly could throw the ball on a option play, but he was not just let go cause of his skills on the field. Lets just say that he was not a core skin that Gibbs likes.
