Rod Gardner - Page 2

Huffman83 · 08-05-2007, 01:00 PM

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.

It is kind of hard to believe that he would be mentally challenged coming from a place like Clemson. If you think about the sharp guys they have produced through the years like the Perry brothers, Chester McGlockten, Trevor Pryce and the such.

With the Chiefs supposably dumbing down the offence this year for Croyle and Bowe, I wouldn't be suprized if Gardner gets in on the action and actually does somewhat good for us this year. If he makes the team that is...
