He is hardly stupid.

NFL offenses are not complex if you are literate and willing to work.

This is pure garbage.

It is well known that Galloway graduated Ohio State with a 4.0 GPA. in marketing?

4.0 in "would you like to super size that order" marketing?

I'm not saying he's a dummy, but I'm not trying to sell him off in 4.0 in something that really matters either.

Galloway had a decent year in Coslet's WCO.

I do think that being smart off the field and on the field are two different things. Also, you still have to work hard to learn things about being a better player. I have heard before that Joey was not the hardest working football player. We were all lucky to see Michael Irvin play for Dallas and I heard he was probably one of the hardest working players on the team.

Hardly ever during the reg season, and then with silly trick plays like against Philadelphia.

Finally in the playoffs they gameplanned short hitches and quick slants and Galloway racked up 70+ yards before Carolina was so far ahead their pass rushers neutraized the offense entirely.

Is the WCO hard for Joey to grasp? Hell yes, especially since it is built for big WRs, TE's and fullbacks. But it will begin to click; the big difference between Joey's experience with Holmgren and Gruden is huge-- Galloway is in camp and not jumping in after 8 weeks have gone by.

All that work and he racked-up 70 yards, a real accomplishment.

I don't see your post as a posterchild for a good WR labeled wrong.

Galloway is a one show mule, it been proven on more than one occasion.

My stand point on this matter is with JJ trading for JG in Dallas, not against JG playing on a different team. I could really care less.

But he was the best WR we had and would be the best non-possession type receiver now. I think Key is one of the best possession receivers in the NFL. At least I hope he is.

I don't like having to distinguish WR's but it's just the nature of the game now to have WRs with talent at doing some things better than others.

There aren't many WRs who are big, strong, burners who can go and get the ball including across the middle and basically make the play work from any position a WR plays.

TO is one.

Agreed Ken.

Galloway's problem isn't any lack above the neck.

It's a lack in the nether regions.

Time will tell if it was an even trade or not.

Morning, Mikey.

Just speculation on my part, but any player who feels the need to expose that ludicrously puny bicep after scoring an all too infrequent TD, looks to be compensating for something.

Latunanostra,
I disagree about the size of his bicep. I would kill for my arm to be that big!

He is well known for also having a very ripped body. Not that I would notice such a thing......

Ha ha.

Ken, it's all relative.

When there are David Boston biceps around, flexing a Joey Galloway one is a poor show.

Yes, I've read about how "bionic" Galloway's body is, the muscle-fat ratio and how indestructible he is. I can see he is a short but very thick muscled body type and that generates a lot of his speed. It's also a body type that at least looks like it could hold up well under a lot of punishment. Steve Smith in Carolina is a similar type, if not quite as muscled. Small, but very powerfully built.

But about all I ever saw Joey do with his speed and "bionic" body (as a poster referred to it here) was rush hell bent for the sidelines.
