Jabar Gaffney

[tng8r]

From ESPN quoting Tom Brady....

NFL
Who You Know to Watch: LaDainian Tomlinson

Who You Need to Watch: Jabar Gaffney, Patriots WR.
Says Tom Brady: "He can do it all."

Gaffney's credentials: Forget the 36 catches a year Gaffney has averaged in his six pro seasons. Brady practices with him every day, and if he says Jabar is great, then he's great.

ESPN - ESPN The Magazine

I guess this helps answer if it was a catch or not.......

[VOLnMiami]

No........It doesn't.He didn't catch it...But they said he did....Even Spurrier said he didn't....End of story

Wait, we are supposed to take the word of a QB that has benefitted from some of the most egregious cheating in the modern era of the NFL on how good Gaffney is supposed to be? A guy that benefitted from one of the biggest robberies in Tennessee history?

Nah... I ain't buyin' it.

Sounds to me like Brady is trying a little smoke screen action in the pre season. Gafney couldn't catch a cold ice fishing and Brady ain't throwing anything to his sorry butt. Let's see if this revelation is gonna make Jabar a high priority on fantasy football leagues this fall.

Jabar's exceeded expectations in Foxborough for sure. Tommy has a good rapport with him and they're looking at expanding his role a bit this off-season, but I'd look at this statement a little different. Tommy is referencing the role of Gaffney within the system. He's told me a couple of times it's good to have a guy who can get the deep ball and lineup in the slot and grind out the tough yards as well. Moss and Welker are really specialized receivers, and Gaffney is a mixture of both. With no more Stallworth, he'll see his role expanded a little more...assuming he beats out Chad Jackson. Maybe by throwing that out there it can motivate Gaffney.

Also, Rasputin, I don't want to get into the whole Spygate thing, but in my experience working in college football and the NFL as well as having inside knowledge of the Pats' practices, you're off-base. The more egregious violation that came out of the whole thing was using an IR player in practice, IMO. Everyone has signals on everyone else. That's just a good spy story and good TV.

I was watching on TV. It was not a catch. No way.

[hmanvolfan]

I was also there. He never held the ball for a nano second. If we get enough witnesses do y'all think we can get a replay of the game?

[OrangeBrownie]

while i think its fairly obvious we got gypped on that one....i think we got them back in kind in erik ainge's freshman year when we got the phantom unsportsmanlike conduct penalty

[volfanbill]

this thread puzzles me. I've never doubted gaffney was a good/gifted receiver, I just KNOW he didn't catch that particular pass. What's in the article that makes anyone believe otherwise?

(to help answer this question, tom brady saying he can do it all, doesn't mean he caught that pass)
