actually the phrasing should be "THE GIANTS DIDN'T NEED SHOCKEY TO WIN THE SB". Which the follow up question should be "WHY DO WE NEED HIM IN ORDER TO WIN A SB"?

Correct on both counts.

Thanks.

I bet Reggie Bush and Drew Brees want Shockey because he would instantly make them both better. Figure it out for yourselves cause I'm tired of typing.

This only thing that is important is that Payton wants him. Now if we could get an all pro LB or DE for the same price that we may get an all pro offensive player, I think we would all go for it.

Hey SFIAH, I have some beach front property in AZ I'll trade you for your beach front property in Kansas. Comes with a great desert view.

From a talent standpoint you may be right. But that's not what I'm arguing.

Say we could get Antonio Gates. ProBowl Tight End. Worked with Brees. All around good guy.

No problem.

Truth is that if Shockey was the team player that everyone else on the Saints are, then the Giants wouldn't be shopping the guy.

It's important that the guy fits. The Giants price is too high. Shockey's attitude is too risky. So even though Payton may want him, he ain't coming here.

'New chapter' as Vilma dealt from Jets to Saints
By John Clayton
Updated: February 29, 2008, 10:53 PM ET
It was the first time in his football career that he had a season-ending injury. Now, four months removed from surgery, Vilma, was traded to the New Orleans Saints on Friday for a conditional fourth-round choice. The Jets could receive a second- or third-round pick in 2009 depending on how much Vilma plays and if he signs a contract extension. Talks have not started on a contract extension for Vilma, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3270701
Call optimistic but I am hoping to get Vilma all year and signed. Thus loosing a 2nd.

Well we could sit him till Morgan gets his bell rung and hope the # of games is enough to keep our 2nd and fork over just a third. Just a dirty trick but what the heck.

now, it is said as in the beginning.......
payton wants shockey...........
what part do some not understand........?
the saints hard nose coach wants shockey........
he does add a new demension.....
will it help, hender, or even come to past?
all i know is that the saints offense for the most part was lethargic against better teams or better defenses....so, what does that say?
we need angles, players that can give us those angles......
yes, the giants defense stunned brady, but their offense did equally well. and if you did not watch the game, go back and do it. they came through when they had to. if payton really does want shockey, i'm all for it because he will make us better, no doubt......
and for those that don't think they talked a lot about it, well, i believe they have, and know where each other stands. actually, the balls always been in the giants hands, but if the saints want him, it will get done......

Shockey won't have problems with the Saints.

And this assessment is based exactly on what?

You have a guy that wants to leave the Superbowl champions.

You have a guy that complains that he's underutilized in an offense. He'll come to an offense where he's guaranteed to be underutilized.

You have a guy who is complaining about restructuring his contract after one year. ONE YEAR!

You have a guy that has thrown his own coach under a bus.

But yet in all he comes here and suddenly he'll be a choirboy.

Pray tell. Why?

You're close. Why can't the Saints obtain some one like Antonio Pierce rather than Shockey? I don't know what either of them are "worth" but if the price is close to the same, give me more defense.

My point is that the Saints offense aint broke so don't fix it. The defense has been broken for years and the Saints have done a great job in attempting to repair it this off season so either quit while you are ahead or bring in more competition on defense.

I think that the point to be made about Shockey and the Giants is that the Giants offense seemed to play better after Shockey was out for the rest of the 2007 season. I am included with the group that thinks that there is a correlation there.
