Shiancoe, bust or not?

Don't know how much of the blame is entirely Shiancoe's though. Having a decent QB would help the guy out a little

Between his numerous dropped passes and his fumble tonight it is obvious that we paid entirely to much for that guy.

Outside that fumble, I don't think he has even dropped a pass tonight.

IMO, a player is either a bust or he isn't. What he gets paid has nothing to do with it.

What I smell here is someone looking for someone to blame for tonights loss.

T-Will has caught everything thrown his way except for the one that was bounced to him, so you're looking for another player other than T_Jack to blame.

Show me some dropped passes numbers & you'll have something you can present that's credible.

I remeber the KC game and he got screwed on that TD so no I dont say he was a bust! He showed alot of promise

you do not pay that kind of money to a stupid TE if you just plan to let him block. that money goes to a TE who can actually catch the ball. this one cannot. get rid of him now

Again, throw out some stats. People are just grabbing these "tons of dropped passes" out of their asses.

Yah kinda,.. But when that ball hit the ground, it was all over. The guy was a backup in ny for a reason. WE had a great pass catching te. Led the 'vikes in catches ... all that....blahblahblah. Man i'm pissed.

i never said he dropped balls. i said he is not used in the offensive enough. that is a shot at the coaches and team mroe so than him

**olson_10** · 12-23-2007, 10:37 PM

shiancoe doesnt block anywhere close to as well as kleinsasser, and he hasnt done anything close to "stretching the field" which we signed him in order to do

The following highlighted part of your quote tells me you don't think he can catch the ball & drops passes.
