jeremy shockey?

Does anyone else think that the injury to jeremy shockey was the key factor to Eli Mannings growth as a quarterback and leader? I think for that reason alone this super bowl will be looked at as a fluke and Eli will regress next season with the ever cancerous shockey back in the huddle.

imortant to note I'm a bears fan not a giants hater!!!

    I don't even know if Shockey will be a Giant next year, they seem to like Boss a lot and to me sees like a better option for the Giants to go.

    I'm also a Bears fan! GO BEARS 2008!!!!

    Shockey will be gone come September. From what i've read from Tim Hasselback he is an attention seeker that whines when he doesn't get a certain amount of attention each game. QBs were instructed in meetings to get Shockey the ball early so he'd STFU. Plus, he's injury prone as well.

    If the offense improves when a player goes down (as it did) you know that irrepalaceable player is in fact very replaceable, even more so when you look at the salary cap.

    No Shockey had little to do with anything. Boss's key reception tonight contributed to win big time. The Giants were full of determined winners and their attitude paid off.

    From the third week on the were 14-4.

    i think that not having a reciever who jumps on you for not getting him the ball early and often is a definite plus for a quarterback, im sure Eli plays at a higher level when he feels like he isnt being pressured from the guys who are suppose to have his back, jeremy shockey is a bad teammate and its no coincidence that Eli flourished without him.
