Keyshawn cut 

Post#1 » by Icness » Tue May 1, 2007 7:29 pm

I've been saying til I'm blue in the face that the Panthers were preparing for this draft with the idea that Key was not going to be on the team next year. Well today they made it official:

You might recall how genuinely ecstatic Johnson was when the Panthers drafted Dwayne Jarrett. There was a reason for that--he knew it meant he was not going back to a team that has almost no chance of winning anything in 2007, his last season. Expect Keyshawn to ring-whore in San Diego for a season before usurping Tom Jackson on ESPN.

I love Key. He will be fine, he already got his 3mil bonus April 1st; Carolina is (Please Use More Appropriate Word).

Tough break. I would've liked to seen Johnson tutor Jarrett.

Um, what?

And its the other way around. The Panthers told Jarrett over the phone that he would be the #2, and thats why the interview was awkward.

He will go to the Patriots if all he cares about is a ring.

Keyshawn would be awsome in denver uniform. i think he would be nice 3rd/4th receiver. anyway i think i know y patriot is stacking up on WR because to counter denver's secondary who is one of the best in nfl. New england has one in their quest to superbowl and that is denver broncos who has their number for last 3-4 years.

The reason I think it's SD is because he's a SoCal guy and he knows he can play a significant role with them, yet at the same time to be relied upon as much as he was in CAR. You could tell it bothered him that their QB (Jake, Weinke) was always under pressure and everyone in the stadium knew the throw was either to Smith or Keyshawn. And thus far the Panthers haven't really addressed either problem, other than drafting a finesse center and a slower, immature version of Keyshawn himself. SD has multiple threats, a very good OL, and an offensive genius as a head coach. Makes too much sense, which is why he'll probably sign with Seattle or Green Bay (and don't rule GB out, seriously).

The Patriots should sign him, they'll find him a spot as a backup kicker or offensive lineman or something.

Its kind of funny bcus he sounded excited that he was going to play with Jarret but he doesnt end up playing with him kind of feel bad for him actually. He really looked pumped to try and help his fellow alumni WR out.

theres one thing jarret and key do alike, and that is catch the rock over the middle in heavy traffic. not speedsters, but tall to get up and clutch and focused on the ball. key shown that during the championship run with the bucs and throughout his career. jarret is very similar in that regard. he aint gonna burn past folks, but if theres a db thats smaller than he, that db will have a boatload of trouble in key situations.

I wish he'd come back to Dallas. Seriously. Though I'd imagine the lockerroom might have some issues with him and Owens. But on the field that would be a damn scary threat of him, Owens and the very underrated Terry Glenn.

i think keyshawn going back to the cowboys would help the eagles alot more than he himself actually joining the eagles.
