Fergy At A Crossroads (Again!)

[Bretsky]

Well, his talent and ability is much more than "just a guy". But, in some way, I guess the good thing if he doesn't make the team, it will be because Holiday, Ruvell, or James has stepped up and impressed. So, we will see. I just hate bashing this guy all the time. I hear so much negativity about him, and though he has had many injuries, the humanitarian in me roots for him, and I would love for him to prove so many wrong. I'm glad that TT is giving him one final chance. And, i think we all can agree, this IS his last chance. Even he admits that.

Yes it is; I just hope we have a deep and talented WR core

As far as special teams goes, give me all the numbers you want, i can say this about Fergy, he busted his ass on EVERY kickoff to get to the returner, and usually was the first or second guy down there. He also busts his ass on running plays and all other plays in terms of blocking, etc.. So, say what you will about him these years, one thing for sure is that he has put 100% out there every play, and THAT IS WHY HE IS STILL ON THE ROSTER.

I do agree with you as to his overall worth to the team up until now. However, Thompson has consistently drafted high effort players for several years now and we have numerous guys on the team who will take over for Ferguson on special teams as hungry human missiles.

We also have too many young WRs around with far more upside potential...we are going to keep those on the final roster long before we hold on to an ancient relic like Ferguson.

Nice try though.
