Crumpler is not the tight end he once was... And the only reason for us to bring in a tight end this offseason, is if we can get a game breaker, such as Shockey from the Giants...
He may not be in his prime, but when he had a decent QB this season, he was top 5 in the game hands down...and he's way better than Jeremy "overrated" Shockey.
Shockey getting hurt may have helped the Giants win a Super Bowl. That is NOT the kind of player we need.
Then i guess my point is made, unless we are bringing in a game breaker at the TE position, we dont need one. So i would guess this conversation is over.
I agree there is no need to upgrade from Baker to Crumpler. Crumpler is by far the better player but not enough to warrant splashing a contract on him...
I'd be interested in seeing their comparable number of drops, considering Crumpler was getting passes from one of the least accurate passers in the league for a while. I don't see Shockey as a gamebreaker until he can actually keep his concentration for an entire season.
Crumpler has had some nagging knee injuries for the last two seasons and gained some weight. Buyer beware.
:lol: haha nice one. :up: Anyway, i'll pass on Crumpler. If the Jets pick him up though, I won't be upset.
Beat me by about 39 minutes. Also, I know we're looking for a better blocking tight end, but adding a receiving option like Crumpler is enticing if we want to surround Clemens with the proper weapons, or provide Chad with the right people to dump it down to.
