Agree.I don’t want to see Waddle or Holland on returns as the risk of injury is too great. Find another specialist!
Why did they trade him for a 6th rounder?No he wasn’t.
Good to see the next day, after a Jakeem rare performance, that once again leads to nothing, you are still fighting for his glory atop "Grant's Hill".Exactly. Coaching staffs hate guys who average 43.7 yards on punt returns and can score from anywhere on the field.
“Once again leads to nothing”. Ok. We were 3-2 in games he scored return TDs. He was the reason we won against I believe Cindy last year when he took 3 punts to midfield or better. You’re just hating on the guy because you hate him - ignoring his contributions. And you also admitted last night that you are purposely trying to piss me off - violating the attack the post not the poster spirit of the rule - but hey, whatever makes you feel better. How about doing something productive like helping a brother out who’s lost everything in the tornados in Kentucky. There’s a great thread where you can show some love to a fellow Finheaven fan who’s devastated right now. It will make you feel better about yourself than crapping on others with your “Grant Hill” comments that aren’t even mildly funny. By the way, Devin Hester returned 19 kicks in his career for TDs - the Bears never won anything with him either so I guess his accomplishments don’t matter. What a mentality. I was trying to have an objective discussion - brumdog doesn’t like Grant but at least he’s using stats and comps to make his point as opposed to just spewing baseless garbage, nor is he doing it to anger another poster (you’ve failed by the way - if that was your intent). I see you’ve been on here with good levels of engagement so I’ll ignore this and just assume you really hate the guy and are incapable of giving the player any credit no matter what he does. Like I said, there are more important and productive things to be doing right now. This is so small in the grand scheme of things. We’re both long time fans and know the game. You’re not changing my mind, nor am I changing yours. Time to move on.Good to see the next day, after a Jakeem rare performance, that once again leads to nothing, you are still fighting for his glory atop "Grant's Hill".
He'll be gone after this year, picked up by someone else who needs a return man, who'll also try to get him involved in the offense and realize it doesn't work, he'll get a TD or 2 and the cycle will repeat for another year or 2 until age and/or his vet minimum price tag isn't worth it.
Jakeem is a great guy, but he got more than a fair shot with us PLUS a fair amount of cash. It's about contributions to the team and he doesn't offer much over others.
P.S. Allen Lazard of Green Bay was an undrafted free agent , I'd take him today for our squad over anyone but Waddle.
2 KO return TDs as well bro. 13.7 on PR would lead the league every year just about if it holds.He's averaging 13.7 this year, not his best season, but not bad.
Jakeem has always been good for a few splash plays and a good game or two per year, but he has also been terribly reliable at the stone-hands. He already contributed highly to a loss this year for the Bears, with muffage. He had a few highlight reel plays on a nationally televised game, but the odds on him being 'the' guy are poor. Has 3 fumbles this year, and there's plenty of ball left...he got his season's worth of TDs last night.
4 career punt-returns for TD...7 career receiving TDs, for a total of 11 TDs...13 fumbles, 7 lost.
I did think it was lame how Miami did him though...got him to take a pay-cut, then traded him...to Chicago of all places on top lol.
