Hopefully all the carolina fans who came on here and laughed at us about how they stole Gardner, will come back for their I TOLD YOU SO'S!

hahahahahaha

and the redskins were getting yelled at for getting a 6th round pick for him

Interesting turn of events.. What did we get for him? Funny how he and Coles are both having terrible seasons and Gibbs got ripped for getting rid of both of them. I think it still was a mistake to let McCants go, but the Gardner move is now vindicated.

Why was it a mistake to let McCants go? He did nothing here and has done nothing in Phily.

Yeah I think McCants has proven to be a pretender. He couldn't even get much of a shot in Philly where it seems the beer guys were next in line to catch passes there. Clearly we overvalued him.

McCants was cheap, and he was a big red zone target like Mike Sellers is now. He had six touchdowns in just 27 receptions, two years ago. Plus, at 6'3" and 215 lbs, he's bigger than any receiver on the roster.

I still don't quite understand the hate for McCants. I mean of course he wasn't a gamebreaker, but he was a decent 3rd or 4th receiver. He produced far more than Jacobs ever has, and he was cheaper and picked deeper in the draft. I'm not sure what everyone expected from him.

Nobody hates him, but at the same time we just don't understand the love for him. He had a couple of good games, he had 6 TD's one year. That's great, but not exactly a guy we miss in the least bit. Especially for the $$ he was being paid here.

He hasn't been able to stick with a depleted WR corps. in Philly, that doesn't say very much for him.

You said it yourself, he's a 3rd or 4th WR. I'd say he's closer to a 4th now. And most #4 guys are pretty interchangeable.

I liked McCants for the same reason people like Betts. He was a Washington draft pick, that occasionally show signs of promise. He was by no means a game breaker, but he was a decent red zone target. And with the numbers all of the receivers, not named Moss have put up, he might have been a nice change of pace for Brunell, at 6'3" and 214 lbs.

I Liked McCants as well, I do think he was probably a player who could be playing along side Moss right now, but it was his attitude towards dedication that wounde him in the dog house with Gibbs, lets face it football isn't that important to him, and that's why he's out of here, Gibbs was rebuilding the attitude and mindset first and formost when he took over, he couldn't have McCants dragging that down.

BigSKINBauer · 12-16-2005, 06:26 PM

well if he didn't leave acting like an ass i might just want to get him back.

MTK · 12-16-2005, 06:48 PM

From first round pick to being waived... way to go RG!

wilsowilso · 12-16-2005, 06:51 PM

What happened to that guy? Isn't he supposed to be in the prime of his career? Is he taking pills for that?

illdefined · 12-16-2005, 07:14 PM
