A perspective on the Shockey move from a Saints fan

[Saint J]

Shockey still has a little left in the tank and could still put up big numbers where he's not the 3rd-4th target in an offense...he'll be a nice security blanket for whatever QB Jerry trots out there.

[MadHatter]

I agree with you there J.

This should give Chud a weapon at TE....and you know that his offense will feature him.

[Highlandfire]

We have seen this before, a guy with talent, has some injures and may not be what he was going to a new team and getting a 'second wind'. Lets back the guy and hope he does well

[BountyHunter]

I think they will still draft another player to groom for the future. 2 of our 3 current TE's will probably not make it until Sept with us.

Carolina fans. Dont believe the hype from the media. Shockey is a good guy and a super great teammate that will be missed dearly by us Saints. Yes, his production has declined, and he does get injured a lot. But he gets injured because he give 100 percent everytime he is on the field. He could be a great security blanket for a QB, especially if you guys get somebody like Gabbert at QB. He doesnt have the speed anymore, but he can still get open, and he still can catch the ball wherever, and he is still a very dangerous redzone threat. The media doesn't like him because he does not like the media, and usually avoids playing any kind of games with them. But countless people who have dealt wish Shockey will tell you he is a great guy, from helping out charities, signing autographs, being friendly with fans in the public, he is a good guy. So embrace him. If he starts to feel attacked that's when the bad Shockey comes out, and thats what happened in NY.

A good pick up guys.

Hmm... anyone else find it funny that there have been people all over that board for the last year or so saying that we are cheapskates that won't pay free agents, yet half the posts in that thread are saying we must've overpaid for Shockey..

thanks for the vote of confidence. TEs usually get aton of targets in the chargers offense as did winslow while chud was the OC in cleveland. shockey really hasn't had an opportunity like this since the giants. he should be in the top 2 as far as targets go.

side note, not sure your intentions with the "haters gonna hate" thing going on, but i have spent a lot of time with people who have down syndrome (in addition to my aunt who just passed away about a year ago at 55 years old) and they have always been some of my favorite people to be around because they don't take themselves or anyone else seriously. they are just fun people to be around and do a lot to make people smile. people would be better off if they knew someone like that for something other than to make fun of.

With Shockey and Smith we are pretty much guaranteed to win any fight.

I love how fans of a team that have been the doormat of the NFL for 40+ plus years...yeah they have a ring...can comment on a former player going to a division rival and saying he 'wont be missed'......The Aints are turning into the '02 Bucs...did it one time and won't be back :rolleyes:
