He just got released from the patriots.
I think he is a good reciever...better than our #2 or 3

What the heck, they traded for the guy not that long ago.
Its not like they have much better options either.
This doesn't make sense.

**HornedHat** · 12-12-2006, 05:53 PM

Yeah. He's better than some of the Schmucks we got droppin..er...catching the ball now. I'd be OK pickin him up. The only question I have...why did the Pats drop HIM? If the guy is a troublemaker...don't want him. If he has bad habits, we don't have anyone that can fix them...this year. I like his potential, just don't know about the rest.

he was a troublemaker. in one of his first games he fumbled during a big play, belichick took him out, and he's been used rarely since. something clearly was said b/w belichick and gabriel b/c otherwise he would def be still on the team

I believe he hasnt been all that healthy throughout the year.

**BerkleeVikesFan80** · 12-12-2006, 06:38 PM

yeah ive been watching their games all year, hes ok nothing too exciting, but givin our current situation i wouldnt object to signing him.

**tb04512** · 12-12-2006, 06:58 PM

if i as childress i would jump on this and sign him it cant hurt... worst thing that could happen is he doesnt pan out but definatly a good number 2 reciever

I think it would be a good pick up.
He is better than most of what we have now.

The reason he missed some time was because Bellicheck benched him after a fumble.

I know during the Patriots Colts game a while back Gabriel was dropping passes...correct me if I'm wrong, but one was in the redzone which coulda been a possible touchdown, and another he tipped it and it was intercepted.
