WOW, looking at RW stats, 13 completions to 9 different receivers, looks like the WR group is flourishing since Rice got injured.

Sidney Rice. And while it's great to see the passing game not miss a beat while he's on IR, I really hate how some of .NET craps all over Rice. He's made some damn crucial catches for this team, and he's been professional his entire time here. Yeah, he was overpaid, but so what?

Guy was never a squeaky wheel coming here with an unstable QB situation. Had some injuries that he played through. The contract he was given wasn't his fault and neither were the injuries. He made some spectacular plays last year for us. I'm not sure how Wilson would have developed without Rice around last season, and when our 'too short' rookie QB was starting for us Rice didn't complain.
It's one thing to embrace the fact that we're getting by without him but to pose your post topic in such a way is just being a poor fan. He didn't shoot up any night clubs or smash into a busload of children at 7 AM while drunk or something.
Had we paid less, we wouldn't have gotten Rice. Name another WR out there on the FA - earning what you seem to believe Rice should have earned - who would have done for us what Rice did. And I don't mean in raw numbers, I mean the role he filled in our offensive scheme.Schadie001":2es1inv7 said:Come on...Rice is a good receiver...not a great receiver. For the $ he is getting we should be really missing his presence and we all know we really aren't. I don't see us keeping him at even a fraction of his current price tag next year when we have younger guys who have great hands and won't cost as much. Baldwin has been lights out this year.
