Rod Gardner
So...while playing madden07 and screwing around online. In the 2nd I had Parker get injured and put out of the game. So for shits and grins I put in Rod Gardner thinking...well...he's basically the next highest rated guy I have, and if I take Hall out of the slot, it kind of messes up some of my plays I use for 3rd and long. And Web...can't catch anything.
But when I threw to Gardner... the ****er caught everything I threw at him. In madden and in real life he's a 1st rounder and is considered a bust. So out of curiosity I do some homework...in real life, w/ the chiefs he only caught 2 passes. And it seems that after he had 1 season w/ 1006 yrds catching w/ WAS, that he's been on a steady decline once you look at his #'s. But one would also have to look at the teams he's been on. When he was w/ Washington and only got 600/650 2 years straight. The skins had a revolving door of QB's between Patrick Ramsey/Mark Brunell etc... Then he goes to Green Bay and Brett Farve has a solid year w/ 3800 yrds passing. And then signs w/ the Chiefs after he's waived. My question is....what's the guys problem? Can anyone tell me? Any ideas? Is it just the situation he's in or is it he's a declining player? He's still a fairly young receiver and while inconsistant, has put up good #'s. |

The popular opinion is that he has all the physical tools and looks the part. But hes dumb and lazy.
Pretty much the story of every 1st round bust.

I honestly don't know how you could be do too dumb to run the same routes over and over and over...but that's what I remember being written about him when we picked him up...had trouble learning offenses..

Yeah, the guy has been a bust. But he's impressing in training camp. I'm not kidding. That catch he made in the scrimmage last night was SENSATIONAL.

Keep in mind, Eddie Kennison was a first-round bust too.

Receivers have to get the ball thrown to them in order to be effective. That's probably his main problem.
