Freeman never had the athletic ability of JWalk, plus he was an undrafted FA.
Tell me where I said anything about a top 5 in the NFL.
You don't think he's a great player? Are you crazy? In your mind what makes a great player? Favre's leadership plus Moss's athletic ability plus Harrison's work ethic plus Rice's dominance/longevity.... I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but that player will never exist. I think you are mixing up "great player" with HoFer or something, which I, again, never said.
You have to bank your franchise on the upside of your players. That's why the draft is critical. If upside didn't matter, there would be no new players in the NFL coming out of college, only proven veteran transfers from the CFL or Europe or whatever.
Get your ignorance on opinions here. Get it while it's fresh... Good offer today.. Ignorance as fresh as you'll find it.. :roll:
Am I not entitled to my opinion? I don't believe 1 good year makes a player great.. Mike Alstott made his fair share of Pro Bowls.. Does that makes him Great. Walker had 1 good year in 2004. Came on at the end of 2003. Outside of that what has he done? Nothing!!! 23 catches for 319 yards and a TD his rookie year. Didn't have a 90 plus yard receiving game until the 12th game in the 2003 season...
Freeman was drafted in the 3rd round… and showed consistency before injuries slowed him down.. 3 consecutive seasons of 1,000 or more yards I believe…
I never stated you said he was a top 5 WR. I stated he was asking for that kind of money. :roll:
I never stated what I consider a great player! :roll:
I never stated you said he was a HOFer :roll:
Would like to stretch this a little farther than it already is???
I actually don't blame Walker for wanting to get paid. I think he's handling this situation the wrong way though. I think he's full of bluffs... and I think he's a bad liar..
