At least...
...Irvin has some semblance of NFL knowledge though.  Keyshawn's tube career will be short-lived.

Keyshawn
was actually pretty good at the draft.  And when I say he's Michael Irvin, I really mean he's Michael Irvin.  Exact same schtick, makes fun of the guys around him, talks about himself, contributes by talking about what he knows (systems, players, coaches).  Even the speaking style was similar (energetic, lots of laughing).

Keysuck
Was not anything like The playmaker on the field, and he wont be anything like him off the field.

Key at the draft
I thought it was pretty funny when he was talking about the Panthers drafting Jarrett and how Jarrett was just like him only to get cut because Jarrett is indeed just like him.....only younger and cheaper.

KJ vs TO
TO: 85 1130 13td - gimp finger
KJ: 70 815 4td - just old and slow

KJ VS BM
Keyshawn was a model player while here, Big Mouth caused all kinds of problems and was horrible for team chemistry.

"all kinds of problems" and
"horrible for team chemistry"

Please explain.  Because as far as I remember, he had an argument with his position coach.  Just like about 95% of the league, but they don't get covered like Owens.

Do we really have to go through this again?
If you think he was good team chemistry then you must think the Rangers are going to win the World Series this year!

He didn't practice
He slept in team meetings
He fought with every one of his coaches
He challenged his teammates
He didn't know the play book
He dropped balls in almost every game and had 3-4 crucial drops in big games

Oh did you forget about his I tried to kill myself, no I didn't stuff?

I guess you forgot all that.  He sucks.  Plain and simple

what a load of b.s.
didn't practice cause he's hurt
slept in team meetings according to who?
fought with one coach
challenged his teammates when and how and who took exception?
didn't know the playbook but managed to catch more than KJ

yes, he dropped balls.  He had a pretty serious finger injury and still managed to catch more than KJ.

and not one of those tells me how he was bad for "team chemistry."  as far as i can tell, the cowboys had their best season in a while and one "drop" short of a significant playoff drive.  So, if thats bad team chemistry, sign me up.

i found the thing
about sleeping through team meetings.  

whatever...not really seeing a chemistry problem there.  its only an issue if someone on the team complains.

Oh
well now that you are the one with the BS (sleeping in meeting) it doesn't matter.  Too funny.  Hey just ignore the facts when they don't fit your argument.  Come on now

Hurt my ass.  If he was hurt then he shouldn't be in the games.  If he wasn't he should have been learning the offense since it was the first year here.

Challenged both Bill and Todd.  Pretty much the only two he had contact with.  I am sure there would be others if he played a little noseguard or linebacker on occasion.

He had teammates talk out about him, and he challenged them in the media.  I don't recall the exact names, but will see if I can find those links when I get time.  

They also said they had to tell him what he was supposed to do many times in the huddle, because TO had "10 years of film" and "had a problem staying awake" so he didn't think he needed to learn the playbook.

He is entirely overrated.  He talks a great game, but when it comes to making the big play he is nowhere to be found.

except the super bowl
and again, until you find me an instance where a player finds fault with him, this is just you not liking him extrapolated to the world.  which is lame.

and he only didn't practice when he was hurt.  that was preseason with the hamstring and during the season when he had surgery.  I have no idea what else you are talking about.  and i'm pretty sure management wanted him in the games just as much as he wanted to be in them.

Again
ignore all the facts since they don't fit your argument.  Good sound debate there.

Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!
If he sucks and can lead the league in touchdowns, holy shit what is a good reciever gonna put up?

by TexGoesYard on May 23, 2007 6:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Has there ever been a player who had the
slightly above average skills that Keyshawn did, that had such a high opinion of himself.  If I had a to do a ranking of players who overrated themselves Keyshawn would definitely deserve top spot consideration.
If you don't have fun it's your own damn fault.
