Title: Is Jabbar Gaffney a Deep Threat? Post by: Jim Gray on October 30, 2012, 03:10:00 pm Gaffney saw his first action against the Jets and got behind the defense twice. Matt Moore made 2 nice passes along the sideline. Gaffney came down with one for a 30 yard gain, but dropped the 2nd that would have been a 70 yard TD.
The Dolphins are Gaffney's 7th team in 10 years. I know Gaffney got cut by both the Redskins and Pats this year, so I guess I don't expect much. It would be nice if we had someone who could stretch the field. What can we reasonable expect from him? Title: Re: Is Jabbar Gaffney a Deep Threat? Post by: MyGodWearsAHoodie on October 30, 2012, 03:18:08 pm He is a deep threat. And not a bad one at that. But he is not as good as Brandon Lloyd and NE offense isn't designed around needing multiple deep threats.

Title: Re: Is Jabbar Gaffney a Deep Threat? Post by: Jim Gray on October 30, 2012, 05:20:02 pm Is he better than Plaxico Burress? Even if he isn't, would you want Burress? I love the Dolphin's new strategy for dealing with headcases and prima donnas - get rid of them. The team atmosphere seems so much better without the distractions that you get with players like Marshall and Johnson. I don't know what it is, but there is a reason that no team will touch Burress, which is surprising since some teams (Raiders, Bengals, etc) will take a chance on anyone. I think that says a lot.

Post by: Fins4ever on October 31, 2012, 01:01:05 pm Agree 100% Make that 200%. I get the feeling that Gaffney has not been with 1 team, 1 system and 1 QB long enough to get comfortable. Hope he hangs around for awhile. A good example of a player needing some stability and minimum changes is Alex Smith. He played in multiple systems and was labeled a bust by many. 2 years with Harbaugh and he looks like a pro bowler. Title: Re: Is Jabbar Gaffney a Deep Threat? Post by: Phishfan on October 31, 2012, 01:42:29 pm The Dolphins are Gaffney's 7th team in 10 years. Are you counting the Redsking & Pats as teams twice? I didn't think this number sounded right so I looked up his career. 2002-2005 Houston, 206-2008 New England, 2009-2010 Denver, 2011 Washington, 2012 Miami. I really him being in someone's camp (and them being teams he already played for) as adding two more teams, but I guess you do. Title: Re: Is Jabbar Gaffney a Deep Threat?
