^wow! that i did'nt know.
I don't wanna egg you on, lmao!!
But it's true.
T will make 1.8 mil this year, PP 2 mil. It was mentioned in one of the articles posted today.
I admit seeing it make my blood boil. Boil over, in fact.
But hey, PP is Cowboy now and you and I have to get on the same page with that or we become 'divisive fans', right?
I know you saw PP first hand at Atlanta, but folks seeing Terry first hand at Green Bay would have EXACTLY the same take on the receivers when those stints ended.
Just as the wco didn't suit T, it didn't suit PP. And T had Brett Favre throwing to him not Mike Vick. I didn't think it was fair at all to evaluate T on that year in GB, so I just have to extend the courtesy to PP.
There are serious parallels between these two tho, Guru, and one of them is Bledsoe. Both receivers are going to bring out the best in DB, and vice versa.
I also want to bring something out about PP's experience in Atl since it was his performance there that fuels your distrust of him. And that is that like Terry, he was intoduced to an over-the-middle, crossing pattern, horizontal game and had to greatly diversify his game from the vertical sidelines/ go route receiver he was in Buffalo.
That experience greatly enhanced Glenn's game, whether he shone in GB or not. He showed in 03 with 39 of his 55 receptions going for first downs that he could also be a chain mover when thrust into that role. He certainly didn't become a Keyshawn, but he was the closest thing we had to a possession receiver ni 03, and frankly, I was proud of the job he did.
I expect you are going to see a different Peerless Price here than in ATL, and a much more versatile one. If his trajectory is anything like Glenn's, it is going to really benefit the team, because his repertoire of routes will be so much more expanded, and polished. He may never be a 'good' blocker, but like T, he will be at least a better one than before.
A 'failure' in one place with one system (and Price's in ATL was highly qualified) isn't total...there is always something that was learned..if Price is anything like T, he is no longer 'just' a Z route demon, he is a truly accomplished receiver now.
You need to let him prove himself here, Guru.
It is only 'fair'.
