You call it throwing under the bus to me it means calling players and coaches out when they needed to be. Maybe he should do it behind closed doors but he was not the only one calling out his coach and his team at the time he did it. The Giants prior to last season had struggled mightly down the stretch and lost out on the playoffs. They folded up the tent and the media also was calling out Coughlin, Manning. Shockey I don't think ever called out his QB. I could be wrong but he did question play calling for the most part and other players hearts. Do you have any doubt that Drew Brees will be able to find Jeremy Shockey. I have not seen alot of QB's in the game that keep so many players in the game because he spreads the ball around so well. Shockey will get his catches and will be happy because we will be winning. Here is an interesting article that give some of Shockeys perspective on teammates talking to the media. Eli apparently wanted him back in New York prior to last season.
Bottom Line....They dont win the SuperBowl much less get past Green Bay if Shockey played.....He would have cryied for the ball and Eli would have had pressure to throw to him. And OK, we want to upgrade TE, thats fine. Why not draft one insted of risking it on an injury prone (possible) Cancer.
