Jeremy Shockey

Did I miss the year that Jeremy Shockey started to suck? Last time I checked, he is one of the most productive TE's in the NFL over the past 5 years or so. I can understand not wanting to give up a lot for the guy, being that we have so many holes to fill on defense... but some of you act like he's terrible.

And if you just don't like him because of his perceived attitude... well... all I can say is... he just seems like a super competitive guy to me... and he may need to grow up some... but like most competitive guys... If you put him on a winning team with good character guys running the show... you won't hear a peep out of him.

Forgive me if I seem cynical here about "character".... I guess I've seen just about enough of these great character guys that can't catch a cold, cover their shadow, or tackle a tulip.

:D

He's not terrible... he's an injury-riddled, prima donna. I can think of several tight ends I'd give up a high draft pick and take over Shockey -Dallas Clark, Jason Witten, Antoino Gates... problem is, teams aren't willing to ship off those kind of guys, because they are competitive, productive and good people to have around.
