Number two, and I have said this over, and over, and over, and over again, to no avail, and to NO response, from the people who talk about Sharper's "tailing off", at the end of the season. He hurt his knee in like week 10 folks. Around the same time as Porter, and Greer's injuries. Thus slower, and less effective play was to be expected. And here's a question: Instead of saying that his play was complimented by the skills of Porter, and Greer, isn't it possible, that their great play, might have been a result of Sharper? QB's are scared to throw at him, and for good reason. "No one else wanted him, and we signed him last year, and he should be greatfull, blah, blah, blah, blah...." Sounds to me like Sharper isn't the only one whining around here.....

I'm not "assuring it", but I can't help but think that the int. pass by Porter by P. Manning, may have just as well been influenced by Sharper. Sharper was quiet the whole SuperBowl. This isn't because of his inferior play, but more so because Peyton is is a smart QB and I guarantee that he made it a priority to know where #42 was at all times. I think they were forced to play a little more conservative. Someone like Sharper constipates a QB's thought process.

I give Porter all the credit in the world for reacting to what he saw as he was obviously prepared and everything, but I think Sharper, just by presence forced a more "underneath" passing game than the Colts would have otherwise worked with.

Trust me, Peyton knew where Sharper was at all times. This is also why Sharper didn't see much action.... he was busy shutting down his zones.

And by god, I can't believe people are saying "He was lucky to be on the Saints", and not the other way around... this is absolutely insanity.
