For christs sake u bring this up again cuz he caused a fumble on st's and he caught one really nice pass, and Chambers drops a 50 yard bomb in the same PREASEASON GAME??? I dont see how hes better then Thompson or Chambers, and comparing him to Ricky isnt even close to being a good arguement. Comparing him to our 4th round rookie te that surpassed any of the teams expectations is also irresponcible. Chambers last year was his first as a starter and he struggled, but hes not a 30 year old vet that cant compete for a job till after hes lost it. OG was on the decline for the last two years and he still beat out Mcknight and so did Ward even though McKNight was in the new system 2 months before they were so im not sure what ur point is there either.
Stan I used the last 14 months, not just one game, that would be crazy, he's a 30 year old 4.25 speedster that's still coming into his own. Look at Gannon, some are just late bloomers, I know we won't agree, but I just want people to acknowlege the facts of the last 14 months. I'm not trying to sell McKnight as a long term solution, but I acknowledge what a player is doing now, not 2 years ago, and he's playing with a lot of confidence. Did OG really beat out Mcknight, or was McKnight being demoted from what he did his first year, plus a little crying from OG at the time. Ward was just brought in, and you know Wanny tries to start his new acquisitions. Did you notice that Ward is gone and McKnight is still here. Says something, doesn't it. Notice OG is being pushed out and Mcknight is still playing..Look at the facts. I think it speaks volume of McKnight character and what he's doing on the field. These are the only things I'm trying to get across. Last I knew, Mcknight still doesn't have a 1000 yard season with us, so I'm real, I'm not carry away, but I think he helps open the field for us and has done well the last 14 months. That's all. I will always respect your opinion, I like reading your posts, but it seem like you're not acknowledging what the man has been doing. So I guess like you said, we will agree to disagree on this one..Oh well we can't win them all. LOL.
