McCarthy: We're counting on Ferguson

[mngolf19]

I don't believe in cutting a guy that's been hurt, at least let him compete for a spot, TT can always cut him later. I admit, I was pissed they didn't draft Chambers but I don't think Fergy is crap either, I think he can help the team when healthy. I can remember him making some big third down catches. I'd hate to see the viqueens get him and turn him into something.

You could be right about bringing him to MN, but I see in the Indianapolis Star that the Vikes are bringing in Aaron Moorhead for a visit on Monday.

A few more noted on Fergy

His career high for receptions in a season is 38; that's under 2.33 a game.

When the Packers placed the Fraud on the injured reserve in October, his agent stated

""There is something wrong with what is going on up there. I don't know what it is, but I can tell you this. When he got hurt, he had played three quarters and they had thrown him the ball one time. Koren Robinson came in, and they throw him the ball eight times in a quarter. So that to me, speaks volumes.""

""I don't know what it is. I know he's a hard worker, but it's definitely something. Maybe it's Brett. Who knows""

His chump agent then went on to question why they handed the starting job to Greg Jennings. Jennings went on to catch 7 more balls than Ferguson's highest reception year.

Fergy didn't comment on any of this, but I'd be relatively sure his agent didn't pull this stuff out of the blue either.

Man, Chilly and company make me laugh. I think they are trying to assemble a receiving corps that's even worse than last year.

An inspiration before and after a frightening neck injury prematurely ended his 2004 season, was focus of team?s dedication in clinching division championship at Minnesota that year
Earlier, used his trademark heart and work ethic to overcome another obstacle: a handful of injuries that robbed him of all but one game his 2001 rookie season
Slowly worked his way back up the depth chart, playing in all 16 games in 2002, then authored an impressive 2003 season, posting career-high numbers in receptions (38), receiving yards (520) and touchdown receptions (four), despite battling injuries
Also in ?03, led the club in special teams tackles for the first time with a career-best 17 stops, and returned seven kickoffs for 148 yards (21.1 avg)
Now has appeared in 56 career games, with 25 starts, and recorded 111 receptions for 1,546 yards and 11 TDs
Signed a four-year extension, through 2008, before the ?04 campaign

You're somewhat right...Fergy is ever so slightly better than crap.

You may be right Harv, but I have to give them credit for trying. There really is nothing out there so this is what they are left to sorting through. I'm positive they will address also during draft.

Well then. . .

When Robert Ferguson can begin to play WR and realize part of that duty is protecting the football then Favre may have some confidence in him.
